I also though the crowd count last night was about right at 53k.
Sunday is a whole different thing. |
I agree, I like that timeslot on a Saturday, but not sunday tho. Gave us time to do a few things, drive to the game, have a long slow lunch at the Precinct Hotel, carpark right near, and head off to the game at around 4-00pm. Yeh, good timeslot, and I thought the crowd was good too, for the Weagles afterall. ![Smile](images/smiles/icon_smile.gif) |
53k is a sellout at etihad and a 25% oversubscription for subi.
i think a lot of pies supporters have actually dropped off because of our decline in recent years. |
So the Bandwaggoners have dropped off? _________________ I am Da Man |

That's about right. The whole AFL needs total transparency when it comes to membership figures. How hard is it to publish each category so we can compare apples with apples? Clubs should have to say they have 30,000 full members, 25,000 three game members, 15,000 country members, 3,000 interstate and 2,000 one game special members and pet memberships (that one's for Hiss). At the moment it's a joke. Hawthorn has something like 14,000 Tassie members who go to four games only.
But not many people have answered my deeper cultural question about Pies fans. Why do we come out of the woodwork and sound like Wallace's army in Braveheart when we're playing well, and not making a peep when the tide is against us on the field? There was so little emotion in the crowd (apart from the cheap booing of the umpires) for the first three quarters yesterday. Where has the tribal passion I can remember from Victoria Park days? We were feared then. These days we complain about the way Adelaide crowds treat us. Pfffft! ![Rolling Eyes](images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif) _________________ Rain or hail, I wag my tail |

We are always a bit quitter (just like other team's supporters) when we are not playing so well. At he same time I found it an exciting and entertaining game to be part of. From my perspective I got excellent value for my membership dollar. The opposition supporters also had a good presence last night when considering they are an interstate side.
I am a Legends member and very rarely miss a Victorian game. maybe 1 every 3 or 4 years) |

There was definately 50,000 last night.
Was a very good crowd and not sure why you feel there wasn't.
Just compare us last night playing and interstate side and Carlton tonight playing an interstate side.
Both at the mcg
Both 4.40 timeslot
We got 53000 and it looked great
Their game struggling to get 35000 and looks shit.
Nothing wrong with our crowd numbers. _________________ Collingwood = Everything Carlton dream to be. |

The question is not about how many went last night but would there have been more at either a 2.10pm start or 7.10 start? |

Is going to the footy and entitlement? Apparently those days are over.
Footy has always been the game of the working class, seems the future of Australia is for a working class poor. |

Historically it was a good crowd for a game involving a non-Vic side -- a jump on last year's corresponding crowd but less than the turnout two years ago.
It was also the 4th highest West Coast home & away crowd on record, though there have been several pies v eagles crowds all around the same mark in recent years:
2014: 53,049 MCG
2013: 41,198 MCG
2012: 62,957 MCG
2011: 52,560 MCG
2010: 38,781 Etihad
2008:52,968 MCG |

How dare you dismember a good rant by posting actual facts? 4th highest home and away crowd ever for the Wiggles? So what!?? |
