Credit where it's due, well done Sharks fans and congrats on the final win. You could almost feel sorry for the storm right in the end.

It's a shame the Sharks play out of that little crap hole of a stadium down in the shire. Waiting for the day that they redevelop some of those smaller stadiums into 30,000 capacity grounds and throw the rest to play in ANZ/SFS.

Nothing like the Telecrap reporting the truth.

In an article today spruiking the expected A League crowd they put up a lower NRL crowd in making a comparision. Souths and the Roosters got nearly 59,000 a few years back but no they didn't use that one. They used 51,000 for the Dogs v Souths.

Tom Smithies & Matt Windley get your f**king facts straight.

Someone rightfully commented on these stats and got the usual replies of 'scared' 'taking over'. I get that it is a genuine rivalry and is one of the big events but soccer folk need to understand the reality is more like the clearly fudged 15,000 at Suncorp last night. Hopefully Samoa can get a decent crowd.

Suncorp looked almost empty last night. You could hear the crowd echoing.

I attended last night (work corporate seats, no one wanted to go obviously so I went for the beers). The crowd was small, though definitely 15k. I am so desperate for March. Like Greece financial desperation.

Well I'll take your word for it, I've never really pegged the A-league as crowd fudgers that much anyway.

The South's v Roosters crowd in 2013 was 59,708
On a Friday night.
Would have been between 65 to 70,000 on a Saturday night.

The double header that got 104,583 was in 1999
Not 2001

Not a chance it was anywhere near 15k. Check out thd photos in the 'soccer is taking over' thread in the fight club.
