Honestly that’s not too bad. More or less the same crowd for the GWS game in Ballarat, which is impressive given Vic is obviously more supportive of AFL than Qld

In written English you never answer a question with a question. I'm surprised you didn't know that

I think we can say that after last weeks very poor crowd for a giants game and this one it shows the giants are as popular as cancer. Where are their alleged 30.000 plus members?

Since another poster can recall GCU opening its gates to all for free, I assume you are wanting evidence of the Titans doing it.,
Well here it is.
Titans' financial drama | Sporting News Australia
So back in 2012, after attracting only 11k to its first home game of the season, the club made a pledge that if they were to lose their next game against the Storm, they would open the gates and allow free entry to all for the next home game.
of course they lost, so they opened their gates for their next home game, which was Canterbury, and that attracted 14k fans.

North Melbourne only had 3500 against GWS in Hobart too.

I'd also suggest a startup team based in Western Sydney is unlikely to be too concerned about their presence in Hobart either, not to mention the fact that all the games in Hobart this year have struggled to draw strong crowds.

You reckon the CEO reneged?
He didn't, they actually went through with it, widely reported at the time.

This really confirms that GWS despite the BS from AFL house and some posters is a huge black hole for the game. Unload them and bring in a team from Tassie

16660 at the Gabba
43657 at Perth Stadium
43657 at Perth Stadium
not too bad at the gabba i would've thought. for a game that was scheduled for next week to be pushed up half way through the week to still have nearly 17k just rock up is amazing. if this happened a few years ago would've been an easy sub 10k

This year like 2020 is a write off for crowds, border closures, last minute changes, floating fixtures etc.
Yea, I'm not disagreeing with that sentiment at all. Just saying 17k for a last minute fixture change is pretty good in qld

These crowd figures show it will be many years if any before AFL overtakes the NRL in Queensland.
Just don't believe the BS that comes out of AFL house
