Talking Footy

todays battle of the beaches at Brookvale oval was a critical game in the make up of the first week of NRL finals
Manly win & they host a home final there against the Bulldogs next week

lose & its the Bulldogs that host them at Homebush

Brookvale can only hold around 17,500
& yes it would have sold out in 10 minutes on Monday

But this game at Accor will draw 50,000 ( minimum) the extra 33,000 or more tickets sold worth over 1 million more $ to the NRL
Thanks Sharkies

Bulldogs last two games have drawed 35k and 33k for 2 big losses.
i wonder if this will have effect..

i dont see many Manly fans travelling to Olympic Park.


(goes to show NRL sacrifices Crowd numbers not just in finals but throughout the year
with Venues and lack of them
