Mate its just goes to show how many halfwits support this club , how pathetic is it to post on a club forum critisizing 17000 people turning up to watch their own club.
It pointless even trying to debate the topic with these clowns , nothing will knock the chip of there shoulders.
Just plain pathetic !

Case in question the Dragons at LO oval so the majority of the paid membership base has got buckles of attending this game … the club is willingly signing memberships knowing they can not supply the product ... false and misleading maybe ...Pascoe get in the real world the case has been made take our club into the future and supply the accomodating and modern facilities for ALL! Wake up...
Funny i thought if you had a ticketed membership to Leichhardt Oval you can attend as you have a seat or ga if you wish..if it's a non ticketed membership there is probably a reason for that…

I really don't give a rats how many people were there yesterday. Over 19 seasons we average 12,000 there. We're losing money there year after year.
But every now and then we get a big crowd and fans rejoice like we've done something great.
20,000 members, 18,000 capacity ground and average 12,000\. That's not good figures.
The phrase 'accepting mediocrity'gets used a lot on here but in reality being mediocre is well beyond our reach.
The club is fumbling around in the dark.
But Benji and Robbie get their farewell and LO sold out. Another great year.

If there's only one opportunity during the year for a rare day game and the weather happens to be perfect for it, and the club happens to re-sign a fan favourite for many in the lead up to it then the stars align.
Great crowd but it's clear we're a split fan base.

Just had a look on Facebook. So many fans gushing over the crowd. How easy is it to keep our fans happy?
Is there another team in the comp whose fans would be taking about a 17k crowd after such a bad loss and 6 points clear of the 8?

It was a Leichardt game on a Sunday, and that's an endangered species. The game itself's almost secondary. People were coming out just to support this institution. I talked to Dragons and Roosters supporters who came just to experience a Leichardt game.

So what is a membership worth !no matter what ground you have ticketed membership.. if you are supporting the club with any PAID membership you should be able to attend any game any time and pay for entry and the facility should be able to accommodate the paid membership base … there is NO reason this should not be happening when there are and will be venues to cater for the membership base !
If it was not bad enough the club pandered to 2 fan base grounds now it is three!

Its a scheduled game against an out of town team Gallagher wouldnt have got any more fans there at any other venue under the same circumstance, probably less.. And compared to what other Sydney club games get against the Titans a sell out is good for the game.
Regardless if and when we are playing from a home stadium, if any Leichhardt games are scheduled it would more than likely be against the Titans Cowboys Melbourne and if the fans respond to that - what is the problem?
If they want us to take games to Tamworth and Mt Smart why are you having a whinge about playing at a ground where there is a supporter base?
As for Farah and Benji your feelings are not shared by all Wts supporters like alot of the crowd that were there yesterday - as frustrating as that may be we dont all think the same and that will never change.
If it makes you any happier the mood arriving and leading up to, was much better than when leaving after another terrible second half.
Until a new a venue is designated you can only go to what is on offer and there are fans amongst us who like going to Leichhardt.
Like to meet a person that thinks we are having another great year.

I guess some people will just never get it.
For me and Im sure MANY others, going to Leichhardt a few times a year is more than just the footy.
I meet up with peeps Ive known for years, have lunch, a thousand drinks at several pubs surrounded by a sea of like minded orange covered nutbags.
Standing on the packed hill is a joy…it was buzzing yesterday and the comments were hilarious!! I laughed and screamed all day.

And then after more drinks and pub crawling!!

Even though we lost I thought it was an exciting game in great company and I enjoyed the whole day...even with the loss.
Rant over.

Who said it is a fortress? You?
Nobody calls it a fortress. It is a great suburban ground that a lot of people like to watch football at, our players like to play at and other teams prefer not to play at (because of the crowd).
In latter years it seems instead of having a home ground advantage with penalties etc, the referees have gone the other way.
Is it a myth - no.
By the way - if you are going to post a thread - at least get the spelling correct.
It is LEICHHARDT!

I don't care that it gives a few fans a warm fussy feeling. Its cost us money. If you don't think money is an issue for us then don't whine about missing the 8 every year.
