That's way exaggerated. I'd say there were 750-1000 there at best.
I presume you failed maths at school.
I assume you are prone to inflating figures

Shame we couldn't try our seats in the 2nd row of the Northern stand,(behind the posts)

And you other two - Give it a rest - It ain't a pissing contest  :roll:
A LOT of angry & passionate fans turned up to support their team.I'm sure every journo there got the message,regardless of the number  ;-)

Another news said about 2000 peopmle turned up, which is more like it.  Channel 9 also said Craig gave a very harsh statement about the NRL.  I did not htink it was hash on anyone.

Great vid Bourbon Rat. If that's the worst seat then bring it on.
Your mate was a pain in the arse though. Sorry.

Location: Melbourne - is there any place better ?

I must admit I was not sure what I was heading into today....
But it was great to go and be part of the movement that is building support
behind the Storm team.... you could feel the passion and the pain.
Being a life time supporter - went to first game been going ever since -
I could see the hurt and anger on the supporters I have known for many
years, that I have travelled with, shared victories with and shed a few tear with.
All that being said - there was a genuine feeling of we will rebuild, we can rebuild
and it all started today. Bellamy is truly an inspirational person and can lead the
team to greater heights than we have achieved.

I even shed a tear with him on the boundary as he went around today and shook the
hands of anyone that wanted to and spoke with and thanked us for coming. My son who
is only 6 saw the leadership and greatness in him as well... and we all know kids can
pick the true nature of people.

Thank you Storm and we will support you....

P.S. The Stadium is great, happy with my seats all be it high and I dont like heights...
Good view and good facilities. The staff there today were wonderful so well done everyone.


I feel a lot better about things now and a lot more optimistic.....  ;D

Channel 9 scum.
lima lima lima duck that station.  
I heard a whisper they are getting the rights  to show the Super 15's or whatever on fta.  
Anyone know more about this?

On today's turnout I estimated 2,000+.  A fantastic stadium, has to be one of the best in the world.

Actually this is the worst seat in the stadium!

We weren't just lied to about the salary cap, they also lied when they said there were no bad seats in the new stadium!

Of course we do. It';s not his fault.
We need to show everybody we are ready to rebuild as soon as possible with no hard feelings.
