Don't think this is the best source, but I read on the Austadiums forum (that someone said on BigFooty) that when counting crowd figures at Telstra they include season ticket holders as if they are all seated - whether they turn up or not. I'm not having a dig at Souths here, because I think it's reasonable to believe that much of the crowd was hidden undercover etc.. Just wondering if anyone else had heard of this before? Also, congrats to Canberra, they did well tonight. Have to say though, I think that Roosters crowd is the worst crowd I've ever seen at an NRL game. I know there have been worse just never seen it myself before.
When thinking of whether or not to attend games in bad weather I always end up thinking about going - after all, it's the players who are out in the mud running around, not me. I hope that there are at least some people out there who think of going simply because they want to show the players that they appreciate their effort in such bad conditions. I'm sure the players would be thrilled one day to go out in the pouring rain and see a full house cheering them on. But i guess, sometimes the weather just makes it too hard and inconvenient for many to attend.
