The Vault was fantastic. Talk about an effort typing all of that in. The maintainer had not only results (and crowds!) but teams, try scorers etc. Bravo.

Excellent been wanting look at that again for a long time.
It was good to see big crowds from the 1920's to early 70's for the GB Tourists games against the likes of NSW and a Newcastle rep team etc.

lol given are usually low crowds for internationals people in glass houses springs to mind! Lets see the Kangaroos play an equivalent game, say Oz v Fiji for a qualifying game and see how many turn up.

Also, a handful of the big guns out of the Kangaroos side like the Socceroos had against Thailand and see how they do. It was really a nothing game on Friday, really only to give the players a run before the WC qualifier against Oman. Most of the attention of the soccer media in Australia was directed towards the start of the A-League and more specifically Sydney vs Melbourne (Emerton vs Kewell).

FFS it was a warm-up match. What a nothing thread.
