    Who went today?

    It doesn't seem like our supporters are going to games at the moment.
    If you didn't can you list the reason why.

    If you are an interstate or overseas supporter there is no need to respond.

      Re: Who went today?

      I'm a single dad I've got two kids who I care for fulltime. It's just too hard to organise to either take them or have them looked after. Next year they'll be old enough to leave at home by themselves.


      In fact I probably should be playing soccer in the backard right now.
      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

        I was there. Disappointed the roar for Norf seemed much bigger than ours.

          I've added an option to cover that.

          I'm really interested in why people are dropping off us because I thought we were great today and well worth watching.

          Does being on Live TV change things for anyone?

            Read the poll before the instructions

            If I could go, I would be at every game ... regardless !!

              I definitely think to a certain extent live TV plays apart. It is not the same though as actually being there where you would get the atmosphere.

                No. Did plan too(my wife wanted to go as part of her mothers day present) but had under 15's netball on this morning with my two daughters playing in the same team.

                  I was packed and ready to go, but my wife was sick and given it's mother's day, leaving her with 3 kids alone while sick wasn't really the right thing to do. I'm gutted I missed being there.

                    I only went today as I was lucky enough to get tickets through work. Normally I don't go to away games due to the cost.
                    More of an In Bruges guy?

                      Family reasons make sense but I'm guessing so many people who wouldn't miss a game a while back now look for reasons not to go.

                        Not everyone has FOXTEL though. I think the weather also kept a lot away today, waiting for trains in 13 degrees with sideways rain doesn't appeal to a lot of people.
                        But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                          What was the official crowd attendance at today's match?

                            I thought the same watching on TV.

                              Yes if there wasnt live coverage I would have went. I just would have found a way. Just as I would have if it were our homegame.
