Do Maitland always have a large following or was this just a big crowd for the big game? Have also heard Valo have no support so it's a big thing for Maitland as a club if true.
I can confirm that Valo have little support. Saw the Westy v Valo game and for kick off of first grade Valentine had basically some stragglers from other grades remain and some officials. And at that point they were competition leaders. It was a bit pathetic really, not even their other grades showed much interest.
