Fantastic win for the Knights. Has kept 2nd spot wide open for Adelaide, Us and possibly even QLD to move into 2nd.

Believe it or not, the Knights can avoid the wooden spoon still

haha, yeh i know. Would be funny, considering just a few weeks ago We gave them a royal hiding.
and they were in turmoil, but then again thats just the Victory.
Look what we did to perth with the team we had. Team news to follow tomorrow for that game

30 000 maybe on friday. 90 000 will be at cricket, plus can you believe this, premiers plate is gonna be presented at your home game, in final round at Newcastle, weve been lobbying on that forum.

Also nufc what do u think of that forum.
have u seen that tony ising section, pretty impressive.

Yeah he seems to respond pretty quickly. We have something like that on our forum, but there's barely any replies.

An attendance of 16040, very impressive!

That's been one of there better attendances for the season.

I can't believe our highest attendance is bigger than Sydney's this year We have a population of around 600k, they have 3.5 million.

Our top crowd is 20,980, there's about 20000.

Football is defo on the up

Nice one, and so it should be although you Aussies seem to be good at most sports you turn your hand to.

moravcik, im not sure if you knew. (we) melbourne victory got 50 000 for the sydney clash a few weeks ago, 40 000 for the Sydney clash at the start of the season, and have been averaging around 30 000 all season.

Stay tuned for Melbourne victory's next game against queensland. hopefully ill be writing 30 000 in as the attendace. But 90 000 is excpected at the cricket just on the other side of the CBD, so 30 000 will be seen as a very good number.
