Preview 2023 Round 21 – GWS Giants v Sydney Swans, Saturday August 5, 7.30pm AEST, Giants Stadium

[Simmofreo]

Maybe too optimistic given that we haven’t had a 10k crowd at Giants Stadium since September 2019, but a sellout would indicate the GS ground record of 21,924 could be under threat?

I am wary that the club have announced a sellout on previous occasions, for us to rock up to 10k people haha. Let’s see

Have they? I mean they have sent out emails to members before asking for their tickets if they arent coming and its turned out we only had 10/12k there, but i dont think we have announced a sellout without it being a sellout before.

 

[Giant Pete]

Hard to know because it’s all dependant on Member turnout. You’d hope most of them will turn up given the magnitude and our recent form.

A lot of members are from Canberra though aren’t they? Most of them you would assume won’t turn up..?

Yeah, I think that they know by now that artificially creating FOMO doesn't work. There's a few hundred tickets still listed - if they soon sell, they can do a "Standing room only" release.

GIANTS Break Another Record

Giants still making strides forward. Broke our membership record with 32,700 members.

Great and all but our crowds are rubbish.
Trumpeting this while our crowds are so poor isn’t going to help us be taken seriously.

You can buy a Canberra membership, I'd think the Canberra guys with a full membership probably come up for the games.

About 6k out of the record 32k according to latest report.

Brilliant morning at training, boys looked sharp and upbeat with Harry extending and Nicks 200th (plus we’re going for 8 wins)

Would expect to see both Tom and Jesse return this week and Nick to start

Angwin had a really strong session, possibly be sub at a minimum. Could play if a player gets rested after todays session

 

[Colonial]

With 20,000 hopefully a bit more.

Hmm that tells me they are on track for 20k plus.

So Jessie moving ok?

Edit. Im taking the like on my post Callums_Guns as a yes!

Only need 5,000 or so to turn up in order to fill the Members and Suttor stands (where the 8 game silver Members sit). But there should be a good sprinkling of Members across the whole stadium with people (like me) who have GA Memberships but have upgraded for this game.

 

[Colonial]

It is a beautiful stadium the Beanstalk.

Trained and moved well

But who knows if he will need another week off before the end of the season

 

[Colonial]

Kingers in his interviews said Haynes definitely playing, not sub, and he expects Green and Hogan to play just awaiting physio feedback.

Angwin over Lloyd for mine, if it came down to that.

Gosh it's a good looking stadium. Devastated to be in Melbourne this weekend, but will make sure the tix go to good orange folk... Hope it's packed.

 

[Gigantic]

Bought additional tickets and upgraded my seats to sit with them in the Cumberland Stand. Hopefully I'm not surrounded by Swans fans.

No need mate, I’m taking the kids

 

[Powkid]

Hope ALL members turn up, they haven’t for years now. But our recent form and to see one great man TFG do his thing, there’s no excuses. Why not open up an additional 3/4K standing tickets? GS has a great concourse and plenty of space to cater for standing. Need to throw everything at tying to get 20k. More than this the place will be absolutely rocking

What’s the likelihood there will be more swans supporters than giants supporters?

More than likely unfortunately.
Last club left that does that to us
