Western Force

[fieldo]

Bad luck for them.
Brumbies just too good.
Wonder what the crowd will be next game
I guess alot less.

and if they lose again

who knows?

 

[morri (cWo)]

i have a feeling there crowds will stay preety strong throughout the season. a loss here and there might hurt. but 37k is still a massive crowd.

 

[Woods99]

The people of Perth really wanted the franchise, they showed their enthusiasm over a long period of time.


They will support the Force, simply because they want to watch top-class rugby. Win, lose, or draw, they will see the best players in the Southern Hemisphere, which means the best in the world. Why wouldn't they keep attending?

 

[phonetic]

Are they playing the entire year at Subiaco? I was informed that they'd be at the ground where Perth Glory were playing.

Back on to topic. The crowds won't stay near 37k. How low they go will depend on performance.

The Force will be playing at Subiaco untill the foreseeable future , putting the MES stadium upgrade in total jeopardy .

The 37k will go down slowly to their membership numbers .
Some points from the game .
The average age of spectators would have been about 55 years .
Absolutely NO kids or teenagers to speak of .
Most of the crowd looked like stadium going virgins .
A lot of moneyed types and South Africans and Poms .
I was on the wings and the viewing was a lot worse than I thought for RU (good for AR) during the congested ruck movements which was a large part of the game .

Those people behind the goals area wont last too long at all .

I can remember all the movements because there was so few of them .
An even gsme for 60 mins , but just too many and too long a period stoppages .

Early season but Rugby Union is so full of stoppages (not always but in the majority) and the scrums are so boring (unless you want to see two teams crush each others necks)

We will see but playing at Subiaco will do this game no favours. Crowds will go down to their membership levels is a good statement.

Shame about Mckay out for season....he was going to be important for the team

 

[Twizzle]

I think they were more than competative

they actually lead at about 3/4 of the way through the game, but Brumbies just too classy in the end

 

[fieldo]

They had a good team in looking at them on paper "The Brumbies"

Actually I dont mind a good scrum , with lots of pushing ,especially a pushover type try and also the lineouts and the kicking for goal .It gives the game diversity over the game of RL . However I hate the delays in sttings these things up , especially when they continually have to repack the scrums .When the Ref called the captains over , they just ambled over and had a good yarn . the controll is good , but the lack of haste spoils things .

magic moment was when gerrard flattened that poor guy
only if gerrards defence is up to level

You dickhead. The guy could've sustained a serious neck injury, and had to be carried off in a stretcher. That's how careers are ended. He's lucky he didn't become a quadriplegic.

His head was in the wrong place, it wasn't as if Gerrard made a massive hit on him anyway.

"Magic moment" indeed...

 

[Thomas]

The player knocked out was Josh Graham. Obviously a season with the Melbourne Storm didn't help his defence.

 

[The Camden Leisure Pirate]

I was confused by the Farce,
They seemed like they lacked any type of direction.

And if the reports are correct, McKay out for the season is a massive loss.

 

[Parra Guru]

Go the force. I'm a part time Rugby fan but I've stopped following the Waratah's due to their increase in seating prices and lack of favourable results.

I just really need Foxtel.

So how can you support Parramatta?
At least the Tah's got to the final last year......

Because I can go to 2 Parramatta games for the price of One Waratah's games, and I don't have to sit behind the goal posts.

 

[The Camden Leisure Pirate]

Not questioning the price of seats git, you said "lack of favourable results."

You tell me what more, apart from the final we could have done last year?

Mate, it's just in general. The hike their prices up when they haven't won sh!t. I did like going to watch them, but it is getting too expensive. Good luck, I hope they win it some day soon, but I'll choose not to go.

 

[meltiger]

37K to their debut game.


So much for the hundreds of thousands of rugby loving immigrants they have over there ....... LMFAO
