It comes as the world continues to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, prompting bans on crowds of more than 500 people and social distancing requirements of 1.5m.

With the next two games to be played away from Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane may only miss tonight’s home crowd if the game goes into a two week hibernation.

Despite not being able to go to tonight’s game, the feedback from most Broncos members has been largely positive, according to the club, with many vowing to continue their support.
