• BEAST: Cult hero Sivo’s staggering new NRL record

Yes, the asbestos is gone.

So why the bloody hell aren’t Manly fans on Brookvale Oval hill?

Despite waiting 11 years for a home final, the Manly Sea Eagles are suddenly in danger of having their famed suburban venue overrun by Cronulla fans.

According to NRL data, 45 per cent of all tickets currently sold for the club’s elimination clash at ‘Fortress Brookie’ belong to Sharkies supporters, many of whom will arrive en masse via a convoy of buses.

Total bollocks as you can’t select what team you go for when you buy tickets

You can as members. In fact have to supply a code

Dave smith knew this, he was run out of town.

He was a useless merkin who knew nothing about the game

He was a useless merkin who knew nothing about the game

He was a top operator who got knifed by clubs whose vision doesn’t extend beyond pokies revenue.

Wow well that sucks, crowds will be a shocker for 2nd week of finals.

it's great when folks include exhibits to prove they're wrong.

Souths fans really didn't show last night.

 

[Jamberoo]

Swans v Fremantle got 19k in 2014 at ANZ from memory

36k

 

[ReddFelon]

Souths fans really didn't show last night.

This is correct, there's even Souffs fans on the NRL facebook page saying they didn't go because "they knew it'd be rigged" also known as lazy Souffs fans.

 

[Warriors Fever]

Souths fans really didn't show last night.

Looked about a 2-1 split maybe a bit les 18-12 hopefully the pride of the league can show up next week.

 

[Suitman]

So, anyone know if Asbestos Stadium has sold out yet? They only have to sell 18000 tickets ffs!

 

[Suitman]

Looked about a 2-1 split maybe a bit les 18-12 hopefully the pride of the league can show up next week.

If the Eels were on the other side of the draw and were playing Souffs next week at ANZ, there'd be 50000 there (35000 Eels fans).

Souths fans really didn't show last night.

Didn't stop the telegraph rinsing off the old "souths fans have bought 60% of tickets" article in the lead up to the game.

Literally the exact same article 12 months ago with the same result.

And even so, a large majority of the SCG trust members (including myself) are East supporters, so even if Rabbit fans bough lots of tickets, what about the 10K+ Roosters fans that are SCG members that showed up

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Currently inside AAMI and the crowd looks to be building nicely

 

[Perth Red]

Hate on them all you like but geez they know how to draw a crowd in Victoria. 51k for an interstate team v a regional team played in Melbourne last night. Be like newcastle playing NQ at anz and getting 51k! Meanwhile two Sydney teams will be lucky to crack 17k today. @suburbangroundsarethefuture

Are the Eels the only Sydney club able to mobilise more than 15k fans to attend games?

 

[Suitman]

Yep, and maybe the Bulldogs and Tigers when they're are going well.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

I lied. Thought there would be double in now.
