34mm of rain on the Coast today kept thousands away.

you're delusional if you don't think that amount of rain would have kept plenty away.

Was there and what a good game. Good to get near on 13000 ... As mentioned prior , those who went would gave had to love their AFL so 13000 tonight is pretty good for as mentioned, a largely nrl heartland... Although AFL definitely had its market. For not the weather I would imagine probably a few thousand more ... I nearly didn't go but at last minute went. Tell you what though, they need parking close by ... Cost 10 bucks to park close by!!!! So a good crowd I would say for a sport trying to get more people interested ... As I said , whatever crowd turned up would be a good indicator of solid base support ... So 13000 or near enough is great really. There were a few lions supporters there too ... I would say maybe 3-4 thousand .

The $ANFL charge you $15 to park on land that they own. I saw someone post on the Port board bigfooty forum that it only costs you $5 to park at Canberra Raiders games. Everything's just cheaper at the Raiders, yet no one goes!

Dave's source, a bartender at the game. As sad a source as that would be, I still dont believe that he knows anyone in real life. I call BS on that one.

The rain didn't seem to effect the broncos game. They still managed to drawe 42k in the wet

This is an exercise in self-delusion that should be mandatory reading for psych students
