How many Manlee fans will be at ANZ stadium next week?

[Moffo]

The wise punter would suggest something south of 1,000

Seriously, whilst there are some good fans, the majority are fair weather gooses that haven't crossed the spit bridge since 1984. How would you feel as a Manly player to know that 98% of your fan base couldn't give enough of a tinkers toss to attend away games? It must surely be somewhat disheartening

I think our best strategy for next week crowd wise is to give free tickets to anyone who looks like Peter Peters. Each of them would take up 10 seats, so give a few of them away and it would look like Manly had a fan base at the game

Cheers,
Moffo

Hopefully bulldogs come out with another of their shirts and stir up all the Manly fans. Maybe something about Des getting minor premiership in his first attempt, something he couldn't do at Manly.

 

[parraparraparra]

Shirts back fired last time didn't they. Manly fans need to learn to travel ffs

 

[Brutus]

Put the game on a sat night or sunday and plenty of manly fans will be there.

Fri night - i'm not so sure.

 

[oval]

I'm gonna go, and i'm bringing friends. Hopefully the Des thing gets some of the more lazy and unadventurous Manly fans off their fat asses.

How lovely that you're so concerned about the number of supporters the Manly team will have there to cheer them on.

1,000 or 25,000 doesn't matter. We'll win

do they even know where ANZ is ? :sarcasm:

Like when 10 of them turned up to their first semi last year at the SFS on Saturday?

 

[Danish]

More than there will be dogs fans come the full time siren....

What dat mean?

After getting watching their team get thumped most will already be taking their frustrations out of train carriages, bus shelters and other inanimate objects by the time the game if over

At least 75,000 would. Did you not see the crowd at the 2008 GF? There would have been about 35-40,000 at last year's GF as well.

 

[Teddyboy]

All pro sport should be on at 3pm sunday and then a TV game at 5.30pm sunday but there should also be one game on a friday night and then the next week a saturday night.

The NFL/College have games on sat/sun and MNF.

Better chance of them getting there on a non work night.

Their semi against the Warriors back in 07 or 08 was packed with Manly fans on a sat night.

Wow, you mean Manly fans actually put in the big effort to show up for a Grand Final? Impressive.

32,000 at the prelim against the Donkeys too.

As has been mentioned many times before, Manly weren't going to finish their season against the Cowpats that night regardless of the result so most people who can't afford to buy 3 or 4 lots of tickets to finals matches in a month decided to hold onto their money for a more important game. Melbourne had VERY similar crowd numbers for their week 1 and week 3 finals which reflects the same situation for them.

 

[de$$ie]

why would i want to go to a cold footy stadium in the middle of bum fk nowhere when i can watch it from the warmth of my part of gods country with a beer that doesnt cost my left leg?

i guess if you werent bogans and knew what it was like living in this glorious utopia you would understand.

manly by 40.

 

[Moffo]

Haha someone in the insular peninsula calling other people bogans

Delicious irony

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Why would you cross the spit bridge to go to from manly to ANZ ?
