over 18,000 there today.

dont you just love sunday footy at the good sydney surburban grounds.

f**k every where else

the heart of the nrl is the strong sydney clubs.

we carry RL in this country

without saints, souths, tigers and bulldogs RL in this country would be struggling

I was there today. Unlike alleged an alleged Balmain fan. Good to see the Tiges still have real fans coming to see their only senior Balmain side play.

Left the bench during the second half of the U20s after having a quick word with Gareth Ellis. Who won first grade?

Went to Leichhardt today for my first NRL game since moving here, one word, awesome, absolutely loved the ground, just what RL should be about, loads of kids ands families, no lines for the beer and a great view close to the ground and it was sunny!!


Loved every minute!! the only downside is that they they don't play more games there.

Glad you enjoyed it and welcome over here Chris.

I like that ground. Always have for some reason.

its a 'proper' RL ground!

Totally agree. Nice bit of sun laid on for ya en all today

try and go to grounds like kogarah and brookie when its a big game and youll get the same atmos as today.

17,000 - 20,000 in those grounds is brilliant.

though id say leichardt is the best of those grounds on a sunny day

God lord no. He's a northerner.

You must be the oldest person on this forum

Bit different to a winter's day back in the Old Dart, hey? I actually got a little hot out in the sun today.

By the way, bet you're really kicking your wife for missing those Origin tickets now.

DO NOT MENTION THAT!!!!!!!!!!

as for better than a winters day in england, today was better than a summers day in england!! were loving sydney and hopefully just bought our first house here

There is nothing better than watching a game at an 1800's throwback oval, gettinggrass stains on your jeans, no toilets or food to be seen anywhere, no fire escapes, termites, a low capacity......we need more of it!
