reckon the weather kept a lot away13,842 @ Brookvale. Top left corner of the hill (from broadcast view) was a bit bare.
weather keeps heaps of people away from pathetic grounds
come on, little more than 10k at each game.
pathetic.
what kind of atmosphere can be generated with 10k at a game? little.
no wonder people stay clear of rl games in sydney....
You'd rather watch a game at Brookie than Skilled Stadium, Gold Coast?call me old fashioned, call me whatever you want, but i know id rather go watch the footy with 10,000 other people at a "dump like brookie" than 10, hell even 20K at a modern day ground.
Good job it didn't start raining before the game or it would have been even lower. When you suggest 13,000 is a good crowd you know that RL in Sydney really isn't going anywhere fast! Sorry but if a top of the table clash can't get 20,000 to it then it is not a good crowd! Was a good example of why run down grounds will continue to hold the game back

I live 15 minutes away from Manly and go to as many rugby league games as a I possibly can, but I refuse to go to matches at Brookvale OvalWhilst you might enjoy the grass hills it would seem plenty don't. If Brookie was drawing 20,000 (which is a more realistic figure if clubs are to financially survive on gates and memberships) then fine, the people of Manly would be sending a clear message that they like watching RL in an old fashioned ground. As it is they aren't whilst clubs that are playing in modern RL stadiums (not ANZ which I do not class as a good RL stadium) are drawing bigger and bigger crowds it would seem there is enough evidence to suggest that clubs need to find a way to get a decent stadium to play out of or face the realities of a bleak future.
