Attendances

[domus]

Early days but I think our two games so far have had disappointing crowds on nights which were perfect for footy. You'd think at the start of a new season, everyone would be jumping out of their skin to see us in action. We were ten to twelve thousand short against the Crows. I fear further drop off if the season nosedives into mediocrity. Disappointing so far, Magpie Army.

Some facts to combat the nonsense Domey.

We gave St.Kilda their biggest home crowd in history. 82,528 would have beaten the 4th highest attended H&A game of any in 2025.

The 62k on Saturday was the 4th biggest in history to watch a Pies Crows H&A game. Equivalent to around the 20th highest crowd of all games last year. Another 10k of attendees would have been a massive increase on the record of 67,697.

Close thread.

I haven't been to either game, but that's not much concern. A single true supporter such as you is worth at least two of my type.

You sound like an early leaver too.

Only because I hate to see so many sad people. Breaks my heart.

I agree it's definitely a worry but I have devised a marketing campaign that I am sure will have them bursting down the doors to get in

 

[Vicky Park]

I thought both crowds were very good. Especially for Sunday/Saturday night games, the latter with an interstate side.

At our worst in 2021 we were getting some crowds below 50k.

I know the sky is falling in after our loss, but if the fans drop off, they are pathetic anyway.

The pile of cash is a nice touch

I think the bottle of Chianti in a wicker basket bottle and the Turkish Coffee liqueur in a genie bottle are also the kind of classy signal I want to send

True. I'm glad you are honest enough to acknowledge it. Credit to you. Why weren't you there?

 

[anshell]

I think 62;000 is pretty much par for the course for a match against Adelaide,isn’t it?That seems pretty reasonable to me.

Darcy Moore. Restraining order still in place. He's purportedly uncomfortable with my attentions, especially when he's sitting in the stands.

Nothing derails a thread like a few facts. They trump gut feelings. Please close this thread!

Cost of Living Keep going up does not help

Also Members getting Charged more for Seats don't help

Though the Crowd Size for 1st 2 Games where good

If ever anyone needed more confirmation that our Darcy is definitely a soy boy here it is. I mean, a gentleman of your calibre, adept at duelling and peasant suppression as you very obviously are, should be welcome company for our Captain. Instead he associates with all kinds of riff raff but denies himself the chance to comport himself with a gentleman of substance.

How dare he.

It is the double standards I so despise. They are everywhere. Take this for example. I had some difficulties lately that were most outrageous and reeked of double standards.

I mean, if you burn a body at a mortuary, you are just doing your job. But do it at home and suddenly you are "destroying evidence" and some such. The cheek of the constabulary these days. They used to know who they belonged to.

If you will excuse me my man Jenkins is asking where I stored the quicklime.

Get yourself a boat and some cabling. A few wraps and dump in anything more than 30m. Crabs will do the rest.
