    2016 Crowd Watch

    Don't they have internet in the Shire? It was on the cards to sell out as early as Friday!:rolleyes::eek: Once again it was in the Goal Zone areas in the central bays behind the posts where it was emptiest. A lot of people have been pretty unhappy at what the club has done in reducing the GA...

    why dont nrl crowds sing/chant?

    At Melbourne Storm we DO sing all game. The atmosphere at the Swans Street End at matches was often sensational. We are ALL diehard Storm & rugby league fans but are also football supporters & wanted to bring across the singing culture from the A-League to the the NRL...

    Sunday game against Cronulla

    I follow the Sydney Swan whos win the day before was even more stressful. I left the after-match (after waiting an age in a bar at Crown with shit drinks & no seats to see Cam Smith:thumbd:) & was a total mess.Got home and went to bed at 9pm, I was that drained. Am worried about our forwards...

    Singing at Games

    A lot of the big games, ie Test matches attract these kind of people as well. I remember thinking a test match at Suncorp was just like a big AFL/NRL game & got up to start an "Aussie!!!Aussie!!!" chant. The whole stadium behind me (including many wearing Roo Crew t-shirts) stared at me with a...

    Singing at Games

    We are lucky that all of our gang are Melbourne Victory/Heart fans & not only understand the singing culture but were attracted to our group & indeed rugby league because they heard we were trying to introduce and develop active support at Storm games. Yes, rugby league has became THAT...

    Singing at Games

    Yeah, one guy alone has 3 cowbells he hands out to friends. :crazy: Security tried to ban them last year, so they have become a bit of a rallying point with Storm fans. Everyone started bringing them. Against the Knights not only were there Cowbells with our group, but down the front, and in...

    Singing at Games

    Sadly singing in this country is seen as unmanly or a feminine thing to do.Even at school you notice kids mumbling their way through hymns in chapel. This mentality is pretty institutionalised. Add that the the fact that most fans in Australia are seated not standing. Singing is miles easier...

    NRL are scheduling genuises

    It is ridiculous isn't it? It has turn what would arguably hbe the game of the year into a virtual farce. They are just lucky that the rest match was moved from Christchurch to the Gold Coast, not that Bellamy is going to play them the next night anyway. Saturday could get nasty. JF

    French RL really up against it

    Anyone remember these guys? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Saint-Germain_Rugby_League I guess it was good whilst it lasted too. I had people's attention, but oh so fleetingly. JF

    NRL supporters Groups

    The Storm tried to introduce a membership category called the "Thunder Squad" last season. Many of us thought it would be a supporters group where like-minded fans could sit together and support the team ( of course the game). It proved to be little more than a highly cynical attempt at revenue...

    Storm want it the most this year

    I was thinking about that last night. Last year I understood why they never took the two when given a penalty in their opponents' half. The result oif games was an irrelevance, so the players could challenge themselves by ALWAYS going for the try. The weird thing is that especially against the...

    Storm want it the most this year

    Very true. They get to get out of Melbourne when the weather here is at its worst. Such a tough life LOL JF

    Storm want it the most this year

    I'd rather not have threads like this to be frank. Would prefer to fly under the radar.;-) BUT I have to say that the whole club HAS to prove to the whole world that we are a successful club NOT because of the salary cap breaches, but because of the tight knit playing group & because Craig...

    4 Nations in Melbourne

    Am, so f**king furious! Fox Sports said they'd show the game at 10:30pm. I turn it on and there is an oldies tennis tournament on. I know the result. My evening is ruined completely!:(:x The NRL Channel & FOX once against showing their contempt for the people who want to watch live rugby...

    2010 Crowd Watch

    The crowds we have drawn this season are still far higher than we drew last season, despite everything that has happened. Night games in Melbourne aren't ideal though, especially when there are 2 within a week & then suddenly none for another month. Great planning NRL! :roll: I'm hoping Storm...

    The Bundesliga Thread

    Just remember this thread again. Any Bayern fans interested in joining our Australian FCB Facebook group? http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=608833085#!/group.php?gid=38108554704 It has been a fantastic (incredibly surprising) season for FCB. And it would be great to start organising...

    New Stadium - Your Thoughts

    Went to the RL test match tonight & found the stadium a horrible disappointment. Yes, the sightlines are great from every seat, but the venue has been revealed to have so many fundamental flaws with it, that as a Storm fan who'll be there every second week I'm kind of depressed. Where do I...

    NRL can't let Melbourne fold!!

    Cretins in Victoria? What sort of small-minded redneck are you? The last time I looked we drew 25000+ to watch your team when they came to Melbourne. Was that not only good for rugby league but good for the people of Melbourne as well. If you want a Sydney suburban comp with games between...

    NRL can't let Melbourne fold!!

    Lewis Roberts Thompson Henry Playfair Paul Bevin St Kilda team captain Lenny Hayes Having said that, the Storm SG Ball team from memory are half Victorian-bred. Maybe this mess will see some of them being blooded into First Grade. JF
