how times have changed - this would be much higher than the total attendance for the whole of round three, four, or whatever the equivalent is nowadays

The 104000 paid, the aerial shot shows all the stadium filled .....but....actual in game photos show the crowd actually filling the speedway track right up to the touchlines....these are the uncounted extra thousands I believe.

theres a book on it and all the reports definately say more than the official crowd.

i think it was even more than 120,000 as well.

the NRL got 108,000 or so for a double header and the 1999 grand final had over 100,000 too

Remember, 6000 - not 12,000.

I can never understand why taking millions of people away is so important to some.....I'd rather my club win trophies than win an online contest over how high they can wee against a wall.
