Premier Miles will be gone at the election later in the year as the Liberals will win easily so what ever he says ATM amounts to nothing!

Coates has always been selfish nasty piece of work full of his own BS and is now way past his used by date and his opinion should carry no weight at all and don't forget he was a high ranking Olympic official when all the bribery was going on.

I was factoring in it was forecast to be raining most of the day but that is not the case now. Still anything over 65,000 will be great.

The ALW still get pretty poor crowds to their finals along with most of their H&A matches (some are only in the hundreds) so the Matilda's effect is minimal.

"However with so much missing data, the accuracy of this is figure questionable at best, and I certainly wouldnt want to head out to the Roar and argue with it." It seems that the true rating figures have become hit and miss and depending on which media organization is determining the figures...

Lets hope it does get 70K+ but that will solely rely on how many of the Richmond Army are willing to turn up. The good news that will impact the crowd is that the overnight rain is clearing to the east so it should be fine but cold.

Tonight will be lucky to get much more than 55,000 esp as it seems the Tigers fans are dropping off in large numbers this season.

Forecast not too bad. Saturday 27 April SummaryMin 9Max 17Partly cloudy.Chance of any rain: 5% Melbourne area Partly cloudy. Light winds.

Yep well done to the Seven network in having the guts to run the The Front Bar in prime time in what is usually a hostile Sydney market!

Still 10,000 more than the RL got in Sydney at their new stadium at Moore Park tonight!

Yes a bit disappointing but it is not that surprising that fans don't turn up on a cold wet Thursday night when people have work and school the next day and it is just way too easy to go straight home and watch from the comfort of the Lounge Room on the big screen!

I'm 100% with you. As the colder weather starts to set in the Thursday night match crowds will start to drop dramatically and they need to stop at the end of April and maybe have a few more at the end of the season.
