It was a great crowd for a thursday!
Thought the atmosphere was a bit more flat than usual though. Tried to get a Tigers chant happening a few times but everyone was pretty quiet on the hill for the most part for some reason. Maybe the cold

Been going there ever since the ground ran east to west and it always delivers. Last night the group I go with were in our usual position on the concourse right in front of the Cows bench. Well did they give it to Bolton when he took up his position on the bench. A couple of good jibes were directed at him.."you have silky hands Bolton"
Anyway lots of atmosphere and a great result

Agreed, LO games have become a special date, not sure if they played6 or 12 games there you would be able to maintain the same sense of a special occasion. Although you certainly throw a big advantage away by playing at Homebush and taking home games far and wide
I've been going to Leichhardt since I was knee high, as have my eldest, and to be honest while the game was amazing, one of my highlights came while walking into the ground. A young Indian family hopping out of their car and asking for directions because it was their first time to leichhardt. I remember how excited I was, I remember how excited my boy was, and i could see in this families face that they were absolutely stoked to be there.
It brings out the pride in all of us from the rusted ons to the brand new.

Yep. Sponsorship and member numbers look a lot different with sustained success as well.
I don't see why, objectively, that the club shouldn't look into options of developing Leichhardt as the CoE and main base - it is the most 'aspirational' fief in our dominion in terms of players and sponsors - we could be exploiting this.
Not that geography is everything - how close is Doha to Brookvale - but if one were to look at our area as a little empire the capital would be in the Inner West somewhere.
Plus, we keep winning there, as mentioned.

I posted my conspiracy theory elsewhere, but did 13k seem accurate to people or low?

Seemed about right - there were some vacant seats down the other end. I've been there when it's been capacity and it was a bit off that.

Once have been on the wrong part of the hill. Plenty of noise and atmosphere where I was standing throughout the entire game

Fair enough, harder to judge when u get there late like I did. Been there when sold out too and couldn't imagine another 10k

Legend mate. That's what a home ground is. Wish Pascoe and Go and co heard people like you tell their experiences. ANZ may make money, but the real home grounds make life-long memories, which imo is more important.

I was just thinking this. I suggest everyone who values Leichhardt send Pascoe an email. The only thing that speaks loudly is volume of people

Looked like 15K+ to me but it has become a bit more difficult to judge since they added more reserved seating around the field.
Hill was full enough and standing up, hence why I thought there was more.
Don't see any reason for a conspiracy tho, normally clubs exaggerate.

Yeah it looked pretty full didn't it
When they said less than 14 k , I thought "Someone's found THAT hole in the fence "
