A Plea To All Carlton Supporters

[walshy93]

I drove down from Sydney for this weekends clash, and I have to say, it was so worth it. Rnd 3 of last years was obviously worth it, and this year's was almost as good for mine. Although it sucked we lost, I was just so happy with our boys efforts. A complete turnaround from the game against Richmond, we gave it everything against the Bombers and I was real proud of them. It was worth driving down solely to see Judd and Kreuzer =D (was also good collecting my free members hat )

Saying that, I won't be driving down again next week lol. Kills the whole weekend. But I will say that it was disappointing to see that Bombers fans clearly outnumbers Blues fans. there was red everywhere. Also noticed on the big screen that Essendon are 2500 short of 40,000 members.... Also today Richmond v Tigers pulled 70,000 so we definately have to beat that next week. All the Pies fans will turn up again, so its up to us Blues fans to get out there and get more than the Tigers pulled.

Their home Game, margianlly more. We made up for it in noise I'd say.

Also, navy blue doesn't show up well in the stands.

really cant wait for the adelaide game. haven't been to a blues game at the G for 2 years now and i need to move from my tv to watch a game as i have a bad feeling i'll punch a hole in my wall.

 

[walshy93]

Just make sure when you punch someone at the 'G, its not one of us.

dont worry i wouldn't hit a fellow blue. my fuse isn't that short, but at a medium level. i can tollerate a bit, a fait bit of late , but there is a level that i draw the line.

no i'm a peace lover, but i get white line fever on the other side of the fence.

I'll be there as my yearly trip up. Been copping a real bagging this year and I'm hoping for a win to claim my revenge. I feel we are getting close to win as the boys are getting fitter. Painful times must one day come to an end, and I hope it starts from this weekend.

 

[NWTYRX]

I'll be there, in my general admission seats

Don't topple out of level 3 when you're jumping up and down with excitement

I'll be in M16 gold reserved section, and I'll be trying to sneak in as many mates as possible!

Lets hope for 70k at the game, and at least 40,000 being Carlton fans

I reckon 80,000 will be at the game! in terms of Crowd support through Collingwood Will easily out number you guy's even if it is your homw game. the breakdown will be 50,000 Collingwood fans to 30,000 Carlton fans.

 

[true_blue_69]

I'll be there EBIAC..... just like I am every other week...... rain hail or shine....

I am even dragging my hubby along....... one extra voice for the Blue Baggers!
Can't wait for this one

Hoping to be there...anyone know if my general admission membership will be enough to get me in, or will I have to buy myself a reserve ticket?

you'll be right just get there about an hour before the match for a decent seat

it will be enough to get you in on level 3 but you will have to get there early to get a good seat on lvl 3 so to speak.....
however if you do not want the hassel of getting there early, you can upgrade to a reserve seat through Ticketmaster (take your membership with you when purchasing a reserve seat) & at the "G" reserve seat will cost $13 extra....... thats what I paid for the Essendon Game for lower level reserve seat

I'm not so sure, last year there was around 65,000 from memory and it seemed rather even to me.

I went to both games last year and let me tell you Collingwood outnumbered Carlton both times.

In round 7 in front of 77,000 people and a Collingwood home game there would of been 50,000 Collingwood supporters to 27,000 Carlton fans,

Then in round 18 in front of 56,000 and it was a Carlton home hame there would of been 35,000 Collingwoood to 21,000 Carlton.

 

[RiCHii]

i think there may even be more than 80,000 i went last week to purchase tickets and the guy told me that there is only about 200 reserved tickets left.

Luckily i got a ticket and will be there to cheer the boys on rain hail or shine

Go Blues!

Utter frogshit. I'd hate to be buying 2 bob worth of mixed lollies off you, Einstein.

 

[Bomba Sheldon]

Are these figures brown, sticky and of foul stench?

 

[Blue Through and Through]

I'll be there EBIAC, paid up and proud member. Thanks for starting such a patriotic and uplifting thread.

 

[stokesy]

The Blues will win this game, I'm almost certain of it.

I'll be there, as I am week in week out, level 3, first row, smack bang behind the big sticks at the Ponsford end.

It's a bit shakey at this stage, but weed the positive mindset to perform aswell as we can this weekend.

Went to the game last year and the lady at the ticket booth screwed up my ticket and stuck me next to (not in thank god) the Collingwood cheersquad. Very scary stuff.

Say those figures are correct, it's Carlton's round 1 home game this year.

So if we get 77,000 again add at least 10k to us take off 10k for you guys.....

There's your 50/50

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Count me in Eddie, I will be there!!

Nice thread too, when the great man moves on you will have my vote for Carlton president!! The lunches will be worth going to!
