So last night, 18,000 people showed up to watch a heavily discounted NRL final in an empty stadium. A b8t of a shame, really, it was probably one of the most exciting games since the 80s. Across town, maybe double that showed up to watch an AFL final. Meanwhile, 30,000 tickets have already sold in 3 days for a regular season A league fixture that is still weeks away from being played.
What were you saying about it never taking off in australia?
