No footy on next Wendesday, ANZAC Day, normally in recent years would have been the first round of the Chatham Cup.
I know in Melbourne that the 'traditional rivals' Aussie Rules clash between Collingwood and Essendon always draws a MASSIVE crowd as everyone has a day off and morning remembrance services are over. The clubs approached the RSA and mark the occasion appropriately; donation gathered for RSA etc. Would be great to watch a game of footy next Wednesday afternoon. Come on Mainland marketing team!
Yes when we have games on ANZAC Day the games always started with a minutes silent as a mark of respect.
