Chrispmartha Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 As posted in the game thread, international game crowds seem to leave it yo the last minute to get yo their seats, because its sn event people are spending more time in the bars before hand which doesn’t happen at s normal fixture, it looked very sparse last night up until kick off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an odd thing to do given they're right in the tv arc like Club Wembley ones. I agree I hate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly still quite raw. Bit of background for those who don't know the story - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croke_Park#Bloody_Sunday Funny story. I brought Bradford Bulls to Dublin to play Skolars in a pre season early 2000s. Bulls went on a tour of croke park and started throwing a rugby ball around on the field. groundsman went mental. first time a rugby ball had been thrown on the pitch! no garrison sports as they called it at the time. obviously confusing with union. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OriginalMrC Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 A little tip guys. Wait until about 10 mins after kick off before deciding how empty/full a stadium is. Looks a good attendance today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they stage events like this at Twickenham. Hopefully the RL will make up for it. Edited November 12, 2022 by Dave T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Masked Poster Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Whichever way we dress it up, that empty middle tier doesn't look good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a myth that the Gaa have an affinity with Rugby League. The playing of Rugby League was also subject to a ban by the Gaa until 1972. The playing of Rugby League on Gaa facilities was also subject to a ban. American Football was not subject to a ban. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Cracking game and great atmosphere. Crowd still poor. The game and the players don't deserve the lack of respect they get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Browny Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Very disappointing crowd. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.
