From the Roosters.. thanks Amy, but keep in mind.. in 1860, they yelled HURRAH.. and cranks were not part of the game until 1880 ! In 1860, they were just spectators, or a large group was called a throng. I dont want people to be confused.. on the history of the game, and its language. Glad you enjoyed your time there, and hope to see you at another match soon !
