as for the drop plugs, wow, i hope you dont run a business that way.

Which teams home game it is makes a huge difference. A lot of saints fans are less likely to turn up because they don't have their reserved seat or their membership is only for homes games and they don't want to buy a ticket. The same thing can be said for Collingwood fans.
If you want to assess the crowds, thats fine and an interesting exercise but acknowledge things which would make a difference to the crowd.

Our last home game against them was at the MCG which had 50,903 people attended.
Our last home game against them at Etihad we had a crowd of 34855, which was in 2014, which was only -861 people from last night.

sverik25 what was the targetted/expected crowd you had?

The average crowd for St Kilda home games against Collingwood at Docklands prior to last night was 45,947. So almost 12,000 short of the average and also the lowest for St Kilda-Collingwood there. The match Saint Watto mentioned in 2014 was the previous lowest (34,855).

The club would have been budgeting for 40,000+ at the start of the season for sure. Last night wouldn't have been anywhere near the boost to the coffers they imagined.

That said I was actually expecting a bit less than what showed up so didn't think it was too bad under the circumstances.

So you now want to use mcc games as a guide. Come off it. Imagine if we got 80k at the last home game at the g and then you complained when we got 50k at Etihad because the crowd dropped 30k. Considering where both sides are on the ladder the crowd was quite good compared to our last home game at Etihad.

And you can quote what you like. As if I care

4 of our 6 home games have been against interstate sides so wouldn't expect it to be any different.

Maddies Match against the Tiges in a few weeks and the rest of our home games against Vic sides will surely get those numbers up a bit.

Interesting that this comes off the back of our record breaking year for membership!

Signals to me that there will be a huge drop off in members next year, if large numbers aren’t attending and subsequently worse attendance figures unless we have some kind of circuit breaker in the off season. New coach being the most obvious of these given we are highly unlikely to attract top talent.

Feel for the membership team, it’s going to be a much harder sell next year.
