Rnd 14: Monday night 8/7/96 Roosters v Brisbane: crowd 35,075
Rnd 16: Monday night 22/7/96 Roosters v Manly: crowd 37,981
Now, I know a 'buy a Big Mac and get a free footy ticket' offer was available for these two Monday night fixtures, but I highly doubt these type of Monday night footy crowds would be possible for the Roosters again, even with a similar Maccas offer in place.
Was it just because MNF was a new fad at the time? These crowds stick out like dogs balls. Did anyone on this forum go to either of these games? Was the crowd packed with Roosters fans or just people wanting to go out on a Monday night?
