An interesting read and highlights the difference in spectator behaviour from football and other codes.

Even though it's Sydney and WSW still gives me a warm fuzzy, and makes a change to the negative journalism that football gets in Australia (and here).

Two key points:

1. "This is about a feeling, about soul. You feel like you're part of those guys out there."
   
2. But numbers don't explain this thing. Only the vibe explains it. So let me tell you about the vibe, about how the minute you get off that train at Central, you see fans everywhere, some marching, some singing, some drinking quietly in pubs.
   

Did the AFL types go off their heads in the comments....
