[QUOTE="Makos, post: 843759, member: 74493"] Yes, not happy! Tony Brown has got the team kicking away too much ball. Sopoaga lost us the game. Stupid bombs and a really ridiculous drop goal? I like Lima a lot, but doing that at such a critical part of the game is very bad decision making. That's right, I agree, leave the crowd to their own devices, fortunately for the Highlanders they have the aid of the students in the area, who fill the stadium with positive support. But it's a problem in New Zealand in all sports, getting the crowds along in the first place. The working class in NZ is not attached to sports like in Europe and the middle and upper class when they can actually be bothered going are hardly energetic or noisy. These are the main contributing factors for low turn outs and lack of crowd enthusiasm.. it's across all sports in NZ. Then you got the 7's. People stopped going when they stopped selling alcohol.. :( [/QUOTE]
