Just on the crowds thing from last night in Brisbane...
The weeks weather was terrible. The week's traffic was terrible.
Friday's traffic and weather was worse than terrible. By the time I got home after a two hour horror experience, I was pretty much ready to tell the wife that we could bloody well stay home even though we have memberships. I wouldn't be surprised if people decided not to go even though they were stadium members, reds members, or just frequent fans.
Caxton street was the deadest I had ever seen it - indicating that people in Brisbane were just ready to stay at home.
Nothing dulls a Queenslander's enthusiasm more than a month of friggen rain.
Just saying that I think last night's figures *could* have mitigating circumstances.
If there is a definite trend in forth coming games, then maybe that is more meaningful and a true indicator.
