LOL @ Just 14,845 Fans for NRL Final in Melbourne

[Beaussie]

Doesnt the title of this thread say "in melbourne"???

And nevermind the fact that even the Swans worst finals crowd in history was still much bigger than the fudged crowd for the Storm. Raider looks desperate here going back to 2008. Notice how he didn't mention the Swans final at ANZ Stadium last year. Wonder why?

in a stadium with 50K more seats
& I don't recall another code playing a final across the road from the Swans at ANZ in 2008 with 90K in attendance .. do you beaussie ? >

also for a side that has been in Sydney 16 years longer then the Storm have in Melbourne & have had the hell promoted out of them on prime time TV for 25 Years ... the Storm have had none of this
the Swans crowd was barely 4K more

neither crowd was great
the Storm crowd was dissapointing
the Swans crowd given the above .... was downright pathetic

There was an NRL final on the same night at the Swans game in Sydney. From memory the Swans crowd was bigger than the NRL final.

The Storm crowd was abysmal. Agreed. You focusing on a one off disappointing Swans finals crowd years ago whilst not making mention of the much bigger Swans finals crowds in Sydney just shows how desperate you are to spin things. This has nothing to do with stadium capacity, stick to the actual crowd numbers please.

Beaussie the fact the swans game was in a mammoth stadium would have made being there with such a poor crowd on a finals night abysmal and an embarrassment. The atmosphere would have been much worse than the melbourne final even though there was more people.

Just goes to show how out of touch you really are. Despite a disappointing crowd the atmosphere was amazing that night. I was there, you weren't. Ask any Swans fan who was there on the night. It was even commented on, on Swans fans sites such as RedandWhiteOnline as well as in the media at the time.
