Talking Footy

Last night there were two NRL games and in ordinary course you would expect that the crowds would have eclipsed the AFL crowd - but did they???
Manly v Easts (GF Replay - Brookvale oval capacity 23k - live to tv - Number 1 billing)
17155 - pathetic

Broncos v Sharks (6th v 16th at Suncorp capacity 52500)
24285 - pathetic

Geelong v Essendon ( 4th v 9th ASADA issues all week, Cats on a downer after being beaten by the GC - Edihad stadium capacity 53359)
43732 - standard AFL match

Says it all really - it takes two to just get close!

Brookvales capacity is about 20,500
& an awful place to try & get to on a Friday night
80% full for the game there good effort

the Sharks hadn't scored a point in 3 games prior to last night ... running last & it was live on TV
why would anyone think that was worth the effort to attend
24K went
good effort


now for the VFL
Essenneedle & Geebunga kitties have over 100K members
couldn't even get half of them to the game :_<> :_<> :_<>

because it was the the NRL that did the counting, and we all know that they like to fudge the figure to a lot more than where really there.
so they fudged the final figure so it was higher to the actual capacity of the stadium

very poor crowd in brisbane to be honest

i actually worked at brookvale the day before putting up a stage there, the ground is so amateurish, muddy hills, very poor facilities. i went to pick up some of the gear this morning and most of it got destroyed lol

fucking yobbos

Anyone who thinks Brookvale holds anywhere near 23,000 has rocks in their fucking head, dead serious here, if you believe Brookvale holds 23,000 people, you are a fucking IDIOT!

The place is packed like sardines with 15k in it.

Brookvale Oval is located in Brookvale, on Sydney's northern beaches. It is home to the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles Rugby League Club and has been since 1947.

Brookvale has three grandstands stretching the western and southern sides of the ground. The Jane Try Stand, running along the western side is the biggest of the three. It is also one of the few grandstands in major Australian stadia to be named after a woman. The Ken Arthurson stand in the south west corner, is the latest addition to the ground. It is named after the long serving Manly-Warringah, NSWRL and ARL administrator. The southern stand is elevated with standing room underneath. A large hill runs along the eastern and northern sides. The ground's capacity is around the 23,000 mark.

I guess Austadiums is wrong then Parra!

Yes it is.

Tell me, if the ground holds 23,000, why haven't Manly had that many in since 1997?

22,746 was the last crowd anywhere near the so called mythical 23k capacity against parra.

17 years ago.

Manly have won plenty of premierships since then and have played at capacity many times, but there is no way the place holds that many any more.
