Anybody selling a General Admission ticket that they can't use on Sunday, outside the main entrance gate. I'm planning on getting there 10min before reserves game. Mate of mine was supposed to buy us 2 tickets but never thought the game would sellout. Now he can't even make the game...wt...let us know for a meet up time...thanks.

When you see both those sides on paper, it's evident how much better the squad is this year. I know injury played a role but pushing the likes of Parker, Matterson, and Woods to the side, offloading Tuilagi and bringing in Luke Brooks, makes a big difference.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Capacity is listed at 18k and our biggest ever crowd was 26,600 in the 80's. Makes you wonder how we crammed so many in back in the day.

27,655.

 

[Darren]

27,655.

You should have tried getting over the Spit Bridge too. Crawled for an hour and a half just to get back into Sydney.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Yes I was at that game. Up on the old Hasbeen Hill.

I should have invested in a milk crate before the game.

Believe I was there for games 2 and 4. Game 2, I think that was when Laurie Daley scored very late after a long defensive effort by Manly. Game 4 that was simply a great day!

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Attended 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8.

That 3rd one is not quite right…..heaps of us got into the ground through the hole in the fence.

ah ah..things were so slack back then, no security to speak off, yeah, the good ole Retro days.

 

[Sheikheagle]

Even though he made his millions with Girdlers Grind on the Northern Beaches that numpty is not expecting Manly to make the 8 this year. Loves death riding us.

Grindler’s Gird.

Girdler…..unfortunate sounding name.

I wonder if he was nicknamed ‘Loinsy’ at school?

Or this one:

Flyan Tirdler.

Flyan Tirdler.

Sounds pretty right to me, who gives a sh1t about him or his coffee.

 

[HoldenV8]

Unfortunately as we know, the way Brookie is configured these days it would take basically breaking safety laws to break the ground record crowd set back in 1986. These days Brookie would be lucky to hold 20,000 at best, and the capacity is probably more like 18,000.

Ryan Girdler ... someone should have left him in his house.

 

[Eagle 1]

Big ask today in all honesty, not having Saab, Lodge and Sipley is going to be tough. Just a good ole ambush by us and early will set us on the way for a great win today.
