Leichhardt

[Furious1]

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.

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

Felt like a sellout when I spent an hour waiting to get out of LeMontage

The love I have for that place is immeasurable.
One of my earliest memories is being pushed in a stroller down to the game with mum dad my aunty and cousins and their friends (and whoever else we run into along the way, my cousins know everyone around there) my aunty lives within 5min walking distance to the groud, has lived there her whole life.
I remember feeling something special there that I never felt anywhere else and it's there everytime I've gone back since.
I have a strong emotional attachment with the place, I just feel at home there.

I literally have a piece of turf from the halfway mark in a zip lock bag with me, i took it on the morning of the 2005 grandfinal. It sits with a photo of the plaque of Laurie in the tunnel and the black singlet I got from Laurie's memorial day.

My ashes will be spread on the hill when I go.

Understand how you feel. Spent my young years walking down Glover st to the ground with my mum and dad and last night was doing the same with my own family.
Not many grounds left that have such a strong link to days gone by. Dont expect everyone to get it, but for those that do, there is a level of attachment hard to break.

Take a tip from me….always park on the southern side of the west connect. It may take 15 minutes to walk to the ground, but it’s clear sailing once you get to your car

Did anyone see the lad that jumped up onto the scoreboard at the end?? he was going mad and then he was dragged inside by the attendants who were also cheering madly!!

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.

Gutted beyond belief that I had to miss this :frowning:

Unfortunately/fortunately I had rugby training and it was more important to stick by my team to prepare for the upcoming game, instead of being selfish and going to the footy.

But really, that’s what’s Leicchardt is all about; it’s not about the flashy grandstands, the corporate boxes, the flushing toilets or the working soap dispensers… it’s about being there to support your team, to cheer your lungs out and give it 100%.

I’m going to miss the next game too (I’ll be in amatersam competing for the Bingham cup! ) but by god I’ll be there for the Dragons game!

Yeah i toyed with that earlier in the day but thought id try Le Montage. I used to always park in the school, but had the same issues. I'll be sure to give south side a go next time.

I get it… I knew the same nostalgia and emotions with Lidcombe, I park near there when we play at ANZ & my thoughts always go back to the 70s and 80s...but then we left and it all stopped.
Forever is a long time.

At LO, I Park other side of the canal opposite blackmore... 10 Min walk but no traffic leaving

It was my first visit back to Leichhardt in over 40 years on Thursday night! What a game! Was on the hill with my wife, daughter and her young fella and enjoyed every bloody minute of it!
Brilliant.
Might just make it back down for the Dragons game!

That was a great night at the footy and that captured it very well.
