20 000 very disappointing Sydney Aus V Ecuador crowd

I think 20 000 spectators  in Sydney to celebrate Aus finishing 11th in the Qatar WC is appalling!

When Gallop was CEO of Football Aus he used to compliantly  accept  20 000 crowds for Sydney as reasonable, yet  used to moan when Canberra drew 20 000 crowds and Perth had 23 000 plus crowds.

Obviously Sydney with a massive population of 5 million, are complacent  about the Socceroos these days, and prefer  watching big name European club  teams playing friendlies.

I'm not sure if Hindmarsh has a capacity bigger than the  20 000? I'd surmise much smaller population centres  Perth, Melbourne ( on Tuesday), Gosford , Canberra, Newcastle and Brisbane would easily exceed 20 000 spectators  to celebrate Aus  finishing 11th in Qatar - particularly against high  quality Ecuador.

A bit  frustrating for all the members of this forum residing in Sydney who attended the game against Ecuador.

Yelled 'KNOCK ON' and 'GET 'EM ONSIDE REF' a few times which got a few chuckles.
