Grand Final Fever

[Norris Lurker]

Apologies for the delay in getting these online. I took an enormous number of pics, and it took longer than I expected to get them sorted.

Anyway, RWO's Report on Grand Final Day is now online.


I've also got some photo galleries online, which hopefully capture the mood of the day. If you won a premiership medallion, congratulations - and the moment of you receiving your premiership medallion is photographed.

Thanks for your reports Norris. How were the crowds compared to previous years?

So, the most underwhelming SFL season on record draws to a close.....

Reports i heard were much bigger crowd for div 1 than prem GF. Can anyone confirm or deny?

Good afternoon OLDMATE,

From my vantage point the crowds were of a similar level.

However, I wouldn't be surprised if the time of day makes a major difference to crowd level. I'd imagine clubs from the city/east would struggle to attract a large number of followers to a 4pm to 6.30pm on a Saturday evening at Blacktown.

Blacktown is the hardest selling point in this equation, not necessarily the time.

What an outstanding final quarter. Nice to see the 'club' win, and not the mercenaries. Loopy & Luffy would have had painful lessons of the benefits of sticking through thick and thin with a club as opposed to chasing money and premierships.

Best regards,

Roger Sterling

Mug Punter, all your posts about footy in NSW are so negative that it's a wonder that you follow our footy at all !
If you're so against it all, why not just find another sport to follow and stop bagging out ours all the time ?
