Absolutely agree but that wont stop the haters on the 'crowds thread' Sunday evening stating well you guys let kids in for free blah blah blah, anything to detract from the overall attendance will be used....

Let them hate away AT. The G are predicting 50K plus. Whether the weather allows that or not is to be seen but fact is that only three clubs ( Richmond, Collingwood, Essendon ) could ever dream of drawing 50K V Freo. Those are the three clubs that will top the attendance ladder this year and every year unless one of other is out of contention.

If the weather is like today,I'm wondering if we will get 50k.
According to the weather bureau tomorrows forecast is almost identical to today, 13 degs with a few showers. Rug up!

Ask NFL fans or European winter soccer fans if 13 degrees and a dusting of rain is a problem......no excuses. Those who want to be there will be. If that is 52K. Great. If its 40K then its 40K and we didn't draw the huge crowd.

Looks like a top day ahead. Sun is out all around Victoria and doesnt look like raining. 50k on the cards for sure.

Weather did not keep anyone away MT. Those who wanted to go went and those who did not want to go did not go. Simple as that.
Fact is we didn't draw the huge attendance we wanted. However it is still the 8th biggest turnout ever in Victoria for Freo. Carlton have never drawn 40K VS Freo. Essendon have only done so once. Any 40K turnout V Freo is a good crowd. It is only poor when compared with the huge expectations but was it what we wanted? No.

How did we draw 44k from outside the 8 in the worst weather last year and only 40k from inside the 8 yesterday?
Yep spot on i also posted that on the crowds thread main board, if the game was 2.10 or even 3.20pm u could add another 5K min, when i left at 11.30am it was 7 degrees, yes it was sunny and weather conditions dont worry me but it does for some people if ur feeling under weather and its 7 degrees trust me most would kick back on the couch and watch it in warmth than sit in freezing cold for 3 hours, these would be the 2 most common factors with the start time being the most contributing factor....
On a side note; I know of 2 blues fans who didn't go on Friday night cause it was raining i go but ur playing indoors

took you a while to come up with that
Seriously, get a life and stop abusing your fellow tiger supporters just because they don't go to games.

Busy working here. I'm just trying to harden them up a bit. If if was 3 or 4 degrees warmer there would have been another 10,000

There would not MT. The turnout would have been almost identical.
Most of the best attended sports leagues are played in much colder weather...NFL, CFL, Euro soccer. Generally people go if they want to and don't go if they don't.
The reason there were about 38,000 tigers there was because theyere are about 38,000 tigerfans motivated to attend. Tella Green Bay packers fan it was cold on Sunday.
