Ah - see I didn't know where you were based… apart from Ten-Forward that is.

Next year I will want to go, get the people together again. Now, I'm going to chill in Ten-Forward.

Another dissapointing crowd. Worst of all, after 4 years, Access still don't know how to run a stadium! Beers are now poured from quarts! They really need to invest in draught machines.

Heard that it was going to happen but did not believe it!! Bonus is that SAB quarts are brewed in PE.

Price?

26k isn't that bad for the Saturday.

And isn't this the third year? First year was Friday/Saturday, last year they moved it to Saturday/Sunday.

It was R20 a beer, the problem is that they pour your beer into a 500ml cup. Also, glass bottles are a bad idea in a stadium.

26k is really good. I either had too many beers, or people weren't sitting in their seats.

hopefully there's a lot more tomorrow though or chances are next year will be our last year hosting the event.

They wanted 60 000 over the weekend, I could see us getting 34 000 today. I'm not sure why people still don't like the event. The Saturday and Sunday format is great, and tickets are down to only R50.

Because this is PE and Port Elizabethans don't actually like anything.

Looks like a huge crowd there today...

 

[MickeyD]

31 125

 

[cr@zydude]

31 125

That's a decent number, but short of the 60 000 we needed for the weekend. If everyone sat in the lower tier, the place would be packed.

Looking forward to the SA vs New Zealand final.

Just got home and can hear the stadium pumping!!!!

Great win for the Blitzbokke over New Zealand.
