It's more to do with the electronic recording of attendees I would imagine. There were many on forums & in ground complaining of long waits, being sent back to the ticket office (one was sent back twice) because of tickets failing to scan. Maybe all those were not recorded as attending.

Bongser can't answer regarding sponsorship in that direction. DB has however very stoically taken Inu being given place kicking duties - the announcements of "...and the two points are added by Ben Reynolds, sponsored by AB Sundecks" have dried up. Good on 'im!

Bongser will be back for Worky and hopes, for the third time this season, to be dragging a newbie with him. We can only do our bit in a small way.
