Ah man, we have been able to avoid it so far, but it’s come the time we have to play in the awful Thursday night timeslot.
It has been the best feeling I have ever experienced at Brookie (well, apart from the battle of brookvale - but I was only 11 years old when that happened lol!!) lately with back to back crowds of 15,000+ which look and feel like a whole lot more!
Now Thursday night games aren’t great for us. Not only is it difficult for opposition fans to travel to the Northern Beaches after work, and then get back for work early the next morning, but it’s difficult for anyone who doesn’t live in the area. For people with young kids too, a late finish is a bit of a struggle with school the next day.
My Dad and I were discussing what we think the crowd will be tomorrow night. Dad (who use to be an avid Silvetails poster back in its early days - I’m trying to get him back posting!!) thinks we will be able to get a crowd of 9,000-10,000. I’m being a bit more pessimistic and think we realistically will only get 6,000.
What are your guys predictions? I’m interested to hear. I’m basing it off crowds of previous years, but I will be so happy if I am proven wrong, and if our current form is inspiring people to make that extra bit of effort to get to the game.
Anyways, I know so many of you don’t live locally, or even in Sydney, or NSW. BUT, if you can get to the game tomorrow night, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO! I know the boys really appreciate our support, and it’s been nice to prove people wrong by getting some really good crowds at Brookie this season! A 7.50pm time slot makes it a lot easier to get to for people who finish working at 5pm in the CBD/other places around Sydney. And just think, the drive home will be SO worth it, as well as work on a Friday with a (hopefully!!!) Manly win.
Thursday night footy sucks sometimes, but it’s our only one at home for the season, so let’s get behind the boys and begin our winning streak from now, all the way through to the first Sunday of October
