The crowd is very, very sparse here at Loftus…

It is actually quite pathetic, to be exact.

One would have thought a big contender like the Hurricanes playing against your Bulls would have drawn the Bulls supporters out en masse… but alass, it is not so.

Are the people hesitant to come support because of last year’s results… or what?

I saw the crowd at Emirates Airline Park was also pityful!
