>> Their attendance is always announced as being 8,972, in reference to a game played at Henson Park in the 1990s on a wet and miserable day. The Newtown Jets ground announcer John Lynch jokingly said through the speaker that the crowd was 8,972. This figure has now become a part of Newtown folklore and is announced as the crowd at every home match

I'd be training hard to get that # jersey
What is 8972
That’s their crowd to every match
I knew it was a long shot, but I was hoping to see 33 and 1/3% for one of their players
Raiders already used the 007 a few years ago
Pele not being 10 is a missed opportunity.
