Ground record due to the Eels and there fans,Panthers deserve no credit at all for that crowd.

due to eels and there bandwagon dont you mean?? You've been struggling to get 10k all year, and in the grand final replay drew 7000 to the game. You are an absolute idiot. I don't doubt there were heaps of parra fans at the game...what I do doubt is that it was the same people going to games in rd 8 when eels were struggling for form. Eels bandwagon is the worst i have ever seen, and thats bad considering tigers from 2005. I haven't heard a beep from most of my mates all year, but on facebook today before the game I seen at least 50 comments from people going to the game tonight...most of the people have been to about 5 games in there whole life. It really annoys me...after last year all I tried to do as an NRL fan was to get them to join as a member or at least go to as many games as possible this year... It didn't happen...instead they wait till Eels win a game off the back of Hayne and cover the paper for a week before they go to a game. This week is going to be my worst nightmare with the Dogs v Eels given that Eels have just won on the back of Hayne. Nothing will please me more than to beat the eels in front of my 20+ mates who all of a sudden have loved the eels for 23 years etc. etc. since they were born.
The crowd tonight all that can be proved is that Sydney knows how to get a crowd when teams are going good....much like Brisbane have been going for the past 20 years. If that game was played at ANZ tonight it probably would have drawn well over 30,000...but it was probably a really good case of playing a good game in front of a packed suburban stadium IMO. There was no guarantee the crowd was going to come but it did and looked very very good.
