Message: [QUOTE="Professor47, post: 2377835, member: 1831"] [b]Re: Queenslander's passion for sport[/b] Don't know what it is like in QLD but a significant reason why Sydney has less crowds and that is the 'social' factor. It's true what Rock said - Sydney people do like to do other shite on the weekend than go to "every" game they can go to... Families might but the 20-30s ish crowd definitely are not going to go to every game. Furthermore, Sydney doesn't really allow you to go to the footy then hit the city unless you want to go to the footy dressed like an idiot... which is a big reason why if your team has the fri/sat night game... you usually watch it with some mates at the local then head out or a friend's house etc. Sydney has a huuuuge tv league culture from what I can see. Been sayin it for yonks but if you want crowds in Sydney you have to go for the day games... you will get the families and you will get the young'uns as well... Lastly on origin - I won't question the players... but there is no DOUBT QLD fans care more about Origin than NSW fans - GENERALLY speaking. I can vouch for this and even Rock can't deny this. NSW fans don't care as much about it - not the ONLY reason why ANZ doesn't sell out but it's a factor. [/QUOTE]
