Let's hit 18,000+ crowd today and be very loud against the ref ! - we need to show it is our home game and we win the penalty count.

This has been fantastic to see these Manly highlights (1975 to 1977 seasons).
I went to regular games at Brookie from 1976 season & onwards. I did see some odd games 1975 & 1974 season (would have been as young as 8 then and the memory of those games limited).
