[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 867264, member: 20605"] You are probably not aware that it wasn't just a bit of bad weather. There was a state of emergency in place in Christchurch. People were being evacuated from their homes, as there was extensive flooding in parts of the city. People were cut off and couldn't drive anywhere. Bus services were off, and taxis were at a premium and like private cars, could not get to a lot of places to pick people up. Even walking was out of the question. There were at least 3500 people who had bought tickets but could not get to the ground, and of course, the walk up crowd (usually accomodated in the south east and north west open stands behind the in-goals) was virtually non existent in those circumstances, which is why they appeared largely empty.
