Friday 8th May, Rebels v Blues @ AAMI Park

[daz]

One good game, plenty of shockers. I'm not upset at Sexton getting a full run in Qld.

His last good game was recent, got he shit out of him (thank fuck for that). Good one again last nigth before injury.

Very excited to see Tom get a solid run, looked good when he was out there last night.

Think the Blues will get this one, similar to how they smashed the Farce last year.

Pay backs a bitch!

 

[Tex]

Not the Chiefs who pretty much invented it (for rugby) and openly sprout it?

Hashtags do not maketh the word.

 

[Sir Arthur Higgins]

What was the crowd?

What was the crowd?

They didn't say at the game. I'd guess it was less than 10K. Maybe 9-ish.

Disappointing, but predictable with all things on in the great city of Melbourne. Each victory can only increase the crowd numbers, march on Rebels.

8,921

Yep, it was quite a raucous little gathering. Imagine what it will be like if we ever start getting crowds of 18-20,000.

We keep winning games like that the crowds will come, the problem has always been stringing wins together.

Big night of events in Melbourne does have an impact on rugby crowds.

45,000 at Etihad for the soccer
52, 000 at the MCG
Some boy band at Rod Laver Arena
Rebels at AAMI Park

And all in the middle bloody winter.

Like Kevin said, get a series of wins on the board and the crowds will grow.

^^^Heard today, even the head of the Collingwood cheer squad was at the soccer on Friday night.
