Really wambers, you wanna have a crack at parra for a shit year?
It was a great year considering the three previous, ended up with an average crowd of over 18,500 after two spoons in a row and that average is the highest of all west sydney teams in all sports this year, god knows what the crowds would be like if Parra had a winning team for a few seasons.
Parra stadium is a good venue for watching footy. The eastern side is a bit tough on the eyes at night with the lights mounted in the eaves, but during the day its hard to beat anywhere in Sydney.
The run into the finals - the hope of a spot - helped a lot with that attendance, plus Hayne finding some outrageous form to shred some of the standard league defensive lines (i.e. ordinary). The guy is ahead of the game on attack because league coaches concentrate on the hit and not the structure of the line. But he's capitalising so good on him.
While average attendance was up, you'd better watch out for the Wanderers' membership numbers: 7500 in the first year, swelling to 16,500 in the second year.
Shame your head office is such a fucking basket case - having known people who worked there and never want to work there again. The Eels could actually have a bigger membership base if the blokes who ran the club put their egotistical dick-measuring contest aside and focussed on growth.
My point, anyway, was to make a joke at Carney's expense, and leaguies in general who think union is boring but won't spend any time to figure out WHY its boring.
And to remind everyone that the Waratahs are the fucking champions of a genuine international competition that is at least as tough as anything on offer within the borders of Australia (and Auckland). And probably much tougher in a lot of respects, particularly the travel.
AFL players bitch when they have to go to Perth. Think about the poor bloody Force with the kilometres they clock up!
