[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 843758, member: 12190"] Lucky you! Hell of a game of rugby in the end, although I've really no idea what the Highlanders coaches must have been thinking when the players let that lead slip. But anyway, interesting points you make. I just think though you have to have faith as organisers that the crowd will fill the space you give them. Make them bloody entertain themselves! That tends to be how people have the most fun. If you fill the stadium with music to generate atmosphere, people will actually do less themselves to contribute to the atmosphere in relation to the game. Singing songs isn't much replacement for getting pumped up due to the action, it's a shame they can't see that. I just think you have to have confidence in your product. Rugby mad people will get excited if the rugby is good, and super rugby is good - however they can probably see a lot of things I can't such as tickets sold, turnover etc.. Agree about the booing, not sure though how widespread it is? In six nations international it tends to not be the case from the kickoff, but tends to drift in later on when the crowd tenses up. Although when it's England away from home it happens very often. [/QUOTE]
