Crowd

Yep great crowd today … Why did the new blue seats not get fully occupied ?
Did they charge extra to sit there ?

Of course they did, I suppose when you get 20k through the gate you can charge what you want….
 
Couldn't, get down there today to soak up the atmosphere that LO offers. Great crowd by the looks of the television .

I suppose its hard to know who to react after a minutes silence , but I was hoping for a massive "Tigers " chant to start the game

Maybe help the boys switch back on

If only hindsight was 20/20 vision

wOULD NOT HAVE MATTERED HOW LOUD THE CROWD CHEERED
Seeing benji sobbing told me what i already knew .This is a very close bunch of players and they were never going to get themselves up for this game after such a huge loss.

The wife and i saw that as well.

Good turn out as always considering sundays at leichhardt are an institution. There was a fair few roosters fans there as well….

Thanks, clearly you know the exit along with many others yesterday who were leaving with 20 minutes left.

A player loses a parent and we lose the match, yet others obviously went home yesterday with glee because Leichhardt got a decent crowd against a tradtional rival.

Really, who cares if the crowd was decent.
 
Yes great crowd & we lost, have never felt so sorry for Robbie & the boys especially Benji, really showed they are a close family & its only a game of footie. P.S Love those Tigers.
 
I'm glad that the crowd showed the minute's silence some respect. It is disgusting when some idiot decides to yell out something halfway through.

I think every potential moron knew exactly how badly it would have ended for them if they had done that
 
@ the people who have made the incorrect assumption that my post was a dig: get over yourselves.

The OP was not a dig at anything. It was a expression of pride at how we still pack out Leichhardt, and oh how wonderful it was! Even after we lost, the walk home was great!

I feel sorry for those who had to somehow link it to Robbie or Campbelltown. FFS, way to ruin what was supposed to be a great thread celebrating how far we've come since the dark days

Silver member seating only.

As a silver member who sits in those bays, the changes they have made to the seating there have been very welcomed. Much improved.

Good to see the security staff policing it too, so many people with GA tickets tried to sit in those bays but were removed almost immediately. Kept happening over and over again.

At previous games this was not policed properly.
 
20K at Leichhardt seemed like an impossibility during the late 90's. It brings a tear to my One Black/White and Gold Eye.

Its fantastic to see so many fans there - Picture perfect.
 
I loved the atmosphere yesterday and have enjoyed some wonderful times at Leichhardt Oval since 2000\. But the time has come to part with the old girl. The facilities just aren't good enough for a strong and successful club like ours. A 30,000 purpose built stadium needs to be built - the location I'm not sure of.

The way people were jammed in yesterday, sitting on stairs, standing on walkways blocking people's view, the lack of decent toilets on the hillside, parking, lack of size I could go on. A tough decision needs to be made in order for our club to go on and flourish. It would also mean we could play the big games/semi finals at our home ground. A bit of a pipe dream but Leichhardt oval is not capable of taking us into the future. Thoughts?

Where does the money come from? the Government has none, so improvements to the ground are out as well, what you are saying is right but i cant see it happening.
 
It is an interesting theory.

However until the day we are drawing 20k across the board it actually lends more to people going for the "Leichhardt experience."

Until we are drawing consistent big crowds it is a non issue

It is not time to part with the ground. We only seem to get 20,000 at Leichhardt when we play on a Sunday afternoon. Night matches only seem to draw low-mid teens. This actually applies to both Leichhardt and Campbelltown.

In saying that, great crowd yesterday, but how many fans did not attend _because_ it was a Sunday afternoon? The match was against a traditional rival so how many more could have attended? Did we turn away 5-10k because it was at Leichhardt? If it was at Homebush or SFS, could we have got 30,000?

Come on now - you carry on like you are a an intelligent individual - and it does not take a rocket scientsit to realise that the OP could easily be construed as a direct reference to Leichhardt being better than Campbelltown.

There a multitude of ways to start a thread about how good the crowd was at Leicchardt and how proud we should be.

Unfortunately, the way you decided was not one of them.

Not fair to try throw a guilt trip on anyone who has been upset by the thread.
