Just shows how crazy it is to play Australian cricket in such big grounds....the Australian 'supporters' don't even bother to show up unless they they think they are going to win....the English grounds have more atmosphere because they are not simply full of fair weather supporters:lol:

I've never seen a "Great Britain" passport, Oz. What does it actually say on the front?

As an aside; to me there's nothing sillier than a football crowd (team 3 nil down) singing 'we'll support you evermore, we'll support you evermore' ad infinitum. Sports psychologists would probably say the message to the team is that we'll accept any dross you serve up and still support you. The same mentality would be a supporters group singing the praises of the White Star Line as the Titanic goes down or the Barmy Army bragging about how much they sang as 5-0 was coming along in the last test.:rofl:
That's why the grounds have been so empty in the last few years. Do the Socceroos get any supporters at all?:rofl: Good job here are lots of East Europeans living in Australia or the tennis would have no support either:lol::rofl: |
Re: The Cricket Thread
Graylings take bait; I don't. See you at the MCG in February - you will be supporting your team rain, hail or shine of course. :rofl:

It says European Union at the top and below - United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. ;) Colloquially known as a British passport.

Oh, OK. Here in the colonies it's usually called a UK passport, to distinguish it from "British Overseas Territories" (BOT) ones. I didn't know the UK one was ever called a Great Britain passport; that's why I asked.

Forgive me for saying this, but the above shows more eloquently than I could ever put, what is wrong with Australian sporting culture. What you're saying is if you're not winning we'll stay away and you'll go broke..that's a very poor attitude indeed, and if that's what Beoz prefers to English sporting culture then he's welcome to it.
Granted the Barmy Army does but its more of a holiday and a p*** up than anything else. I've sat in the Barmy Army and there is little cricket watched, especially after lunch when the mid strength starts kicking in. Great fun through. Its far easier to get a ticket for Samoa v England at Twickers than it is for AB's v England. Where are the supporters for the Samoan game? Same in Oz. In fact its was a lot harder to get a ticket to the French v Wallabies game at the Football Stadium than it was Wallabies v All Blacks at the crap stadium. I mean who wants to travel out to Sydney's deepest darkest western suburbs on a Saturday night when you can pop down to Paddo on a Saturday afternoon. |
