The stadium has a capacity of 30000 and you are telling me it was only half full?
Someone has pocketed a large sum of money.....a joke.

I'm seeing a crowd figure of 22,412 on some places on the net including Wikipedia....something odd is going on.
Looked a bit patchy tbh. All grass, but not a smooth carpet you'd expect.
On another note, does anyone know if Rebel or anyone in Newy stock any asian team jerseys? Was hoping to pick a Japanese one at the game but they didn't have any in ground.
Which is more like what the rest of us saw.Quote:

But why would they downplay it?
(And I'm with the rest, if tonight was 15k then the Jets have been getting 5k all year).
I can't think of any sensible reasons that you would down grade it.
Would the stadium of AFC have been in charge of the count?
If that was only 3k more than usual than why were queues more than 10 times the length?
There were a few antagonists up in the nippon who got moved on. better save the apologies for all sidesQuote:

Luckily caught the first goal. Glad they opened the hills up aswell. Kudos to Palestine especially in the second half thought they put in a very gusty performance & massive kudos to their fans pretty much sung, chanted & danced for the 90 minutes even though it was mainly p-p Palestine.
P.s Bodi hope you enjoyed that cider I shouted ya
lol, only the ones with Che tshirtsQuote:

While I loved the crowd, and loved the general Newy public getting behind the game and all that - I can't agree with this line. There were so many Japanese and Palestinian fans there - I wouldn't say they were unharnassed Newy fans as much as just their to see their team. There was also a heap of CCM, SFC and other club jerseys scouted in the place.Quote:

And Saturday night kick off time is the same time as Socceroos v Korea, so I can't see them cracking more than 5-6k on Saturday
Lulz at the 'we are all Palestine' flag.
Fat lads in the blowup sumo suits on the family hill.
Also a Mong in a Gypos shirt getting grief from the locals.
Good times.
Mine was simply ripped off and not scanned.Quote:

Good to see the turnout & the Palestine fans seemed to be having a great time. Japan far too good & despite old mate behind me giving everyone a running commentry and critiquing Palestine's play like he expected them to be Barcelona or something it was a good night. Saturday will be interesting. I will be there and will have the Socceroos on Record - just hope nobody blabs out the result!!
Yeah so do I! I certainly won't be checking!Quote:

Nope that didn't work either. Sorry mate.
great afternoon out at the footeh
endo is the asian pirlo, bloke never got out of first gear and just walked around hitting perfect 30-50 yard passes, would pay to see him every week.
palo fans were good value
seemed that everyone did the same as me and changed ends at halftime to the northern hill
thanks sd for the cider.
i'm with the member i reckon there would have been 5-7k non newy based but from my facebook feed there were individuals who haven't been to jerks games in yonks putting pictures up. so the bandwagon still exist.
looking forward to tonight, the idea of 2 football games in 2 days pleases me greatly
What train are yall catching down?Quote:

Shame they stuffed up the crowd figures 15k is the still the third highest crowd thus far behind the 25k for Aus-Kuw & the 17k Irn-Bah match in Melbourne. Would be nice to have the biggest crowd of tournament (not inc Australia's Games).

I doubt they would be able to. He probably justs collects themQuote:

A year or two back I read something that said the swipe cards you get in hotels should be chopped up and thrown out because your credit card is able to be scammed somehow if the disposed cards get in the wrong hands. I have doubts over whether it is true or not (I can't remember where I read it - prob some hype-driven thing on facebook that I was suckered into amirite), but my bank account is one thing I care about in this world so nowadays I attempt to chop up things like tickets, hotel cards, etc just in case.Quote:

Remember when we played Gypos in an afternoon final and were told we would have a record crowd only to find a chockablock stadium with a 25000 capacity had much less that thought.
Only in Newy of course does this happen.
Easily 20,000 there. Well done to the Palestinian crew, they were great value.
Japan ooze class though done they.
Crowd figure revised up to 17k and change.
Surely no one is surprised hunter stadium cocked things up.
