Sunday twilight game

[eagles2win]

Dear NRL,
We'll take this time slot
Sincerely every
Manly Supporter

 

[COMMANDER]

Yep, great time to play and watch footy.

 

[Sheikheagle]

I agree but it cost us about 3000 away supporters. Not many knights supporters there

 

[Brissie Kid]

It was great. Sure we should take the away supporters money but it's a great atmosphere without them too!

 

[manlyfan76]

What was the OFFICIAL crowd numbers?

 

[Sheikheagle]

About 12500

 

[The Who]

Yes. I enjoyed it. A nice warm night helped. And the score, of course.
I thought the crowd was around 14,000 but in recent years my estimations have been higher than the official crowd. I had friends complain about the $30 to sit on the hill. It's a bit steep . . . the price, not the hill.

 

[dowdz]

Yeah I like the time slot. Got a bit chilly, but we'll worth it.
12, 268 I think of memory. Not much away fans but I was expecting more.

Hard to watch on Fox. I mean, it's Sunday footy and the first game was at 2pm. That's 4 1/2 hours on the sauce even before klick-off., Glad that we won tho.

Tell your friends to become members of the Sea Eagles fan club (with games package) and they get a great bargain with cheaper tickets and freebies thrown in, eg. members hat.

It's too late for families (but everything seems to be too something for families), it's too late for pissheads on a work night (except the most die hard), it's better on tv (but so is evey game).
What else can we come up with?
Cost maybe? Still cheaper than any equivellant.
Can someone who couldn't be bothered to show up state their case? I'd like to dismiss it.

Didn't want to be around that suss Duff bloke.

 

[Masked Eagle]

Great time slot for TV, but I'll still take Sunday arvo's if given a choice.

Nothing suss, i never wear pants on Sundays.

 

[Brookie4eva]

I was there, but it's not an ideal time slot, clearly it's done purely for tv.

Work was a bit more challenging than it should have been this morning.

I took my kids down and they loved it. Will happily take them at that time slot again. They were that worn out they went straight to sleep when i got home. Plus, the $30 membership for the kids makes the trip to brookie a cheap one.

Agreed, especially when you bring your own chicken rolls & cup cakes

Will have to do that next time Mals.....thanks for the tip

My youngest said he burnt his taste buds on the pie. I told him he should be happy it was hot..

Its only 1/2 hour earlier, but I reckon 6pm is a better timeslot for Sunday Night Game.... or even better, bring back the 3:30pm Saturday arvo timeslot
