It was the NRL H&A avearge from memory. ARL crowds huh, they're hardly specatacular in anycase.

You are so full of shit. Show us this article you talk of or shut up with the lies.
King-Eliagh wrote:In any circumstance I believe dizzy is right with the free tickets not going towards official attendance. So yesterdays match was prob more like 24000 which i'd say was moast likely more than the swans got at the scg yesterday. Well done league!

Show me proof that the NRL does not include free tickets in the official count. All we have atm is the words of Dizzy's mate.

I saw it in the tele last year during the footy season. Dont remember the date sorry but i definitely saw it.
The kids at my school get enough AFL during the year any more would be an overload so im not putting it in the program, i think its only fair to give our youth opportunity and variety which i must say isnt a part of Demetrious vision statement

. And hey league needs a boost out here so why not?
And i want
you to show me the proof that nrl
does include free tickets in their crowd attendance! Dizzy's explanation seems perfectly sound to me

Did you travel up for the game? I know it's only round 1 but taking into account Hawthorn's pre-season form and yesterday's result, it could well be a long frustrating season for Hawks fans.

No I didn't travel up to the game. Mainly due to spending Easter with my folks in Ballarat. I am from Ballarat you see.
I agree totally. I reckon we will finish between 10th and 16th.
