Official attendance was 6,423. Not surprising to be honest.

It didnt look terrible for a Wednesday and only 3/4 of a game... 

20000+ for 21 minutes 
6000+ for 69 minutes. 

Probably the biggest Melb derby crowd for over 5 years. 

So those self righteous knobheads who think they can control league and club policies have finally pulled their heads in. 
Good to know. 

NSL crowds were better behaved and backed their clubs when league HQ made stupid decisions. 

E.g. removing traditional club names. 

No entitled behaviour by fans then. 
Perhaps that's what you get with real traditional fans compared to the plastic self entitled instant gratification social media attention seeking triggered generation. 

Revisionist 

And lol - there is plenty of NSL fans who are equally if not more plastic - just look at the EPL merchandise on some ffs, despite ZERO connection to the clubs other than they were marketed to them or because they used to win a lot. As plastic as it comes. 

I find it funny seeing some old football friends who support Melbourne Storm - lol a team originally concocted by rupert murdoch to make $$$$$$$$

And to say better behaved is laughable - there is idiots over every generation. None are better or worse than each other. 

It's all swings and rounabouts and a bunch of over paid wankers kicking pigskin around.

Haha. 
Got a bite. 

You went off on a bit of a tangent. What's Melbourne Storm got to do with it??

More to my point, NSL fans just supported their club. 
Didn't try to control what the league does. 
Didn't spit the dummy when major changes were made to the league. 
E.g. moved to summer. Club name changes. Finals formats. P/R removed and reimplemented, etc. 

There was no walkouts. No demands to meet with league hierarchy to discuss. No self entitled expectations to be heard. 
People Simply supported their clubs. 

I am guessing you didn't follow football in the 70s, 80s or early 90s.

This is so far wide of the mark it's clearly just a troll

80's and 90's. I did. 
Born in the 70's. 

Please enlighten me where there were fan protests, boycotts or walkouts and demands from fan groups to meet with league hierarchy.

The only protest I remember may be from the 90's when Heidelberg were booted out of the league and their fans may have protested. 
Especially after they installed lights  at Olympic village that season when league criteria demanded it. 

Booted out Along with Melita and Brunswick Juventus 

Haha. That the best you got??? 
A banner??  I suppose you can consider it a protest. 😂😂
From 2004. 

Still supported their club right to the last day of the NSL. 
That's where the photo is from. 
The NSL was dead the day after that photo. 

I prefer this photo from the early 90's Olympic Park.

We knew the NSL wasn't perfect.
