I went to the game last night as an Eagles supporter. Whilst obviously there were more Giants fans then Eagles it did feel like I was in Perth due to the noise of our supporters.
Tickets were $80 (which I paid half price as a Telstra customer). That is huge money in western Sydney. Imagine a family of four?
Also there happened to be an NRL game on at the same time literally next door involving a more well known western Sydney sporting team named the Parramatta Eels. I has it a guess that may have reduced this Giants crowd by at least a few thousand fans.
