Re: The Crowd
attendance for this game is the first above 25,000 since the Hickey stand was put in place and completed in 2005, when it was apparantely meant to be a 28,000 capacity.
I'd be willing to put a fair amount of money on it that we dont see an attendance there over 30,000 until the completion of the next redevelopment phase, whenever that is.
When we played the Dogs there in 2008 EVERYONE wanted a ticket to that and that was sold out for days leading up.....24,801 turned up. 3200 short of capacity for a game where scalpers would've cleaned up! looking around i couldnt see many empty seats, that definitely makes you think, and there is the resell option for members who can not make it as well
I guess, like someone already mentioned, it must be those empty scattered seats that are hard to see from afar and on TV that is the case.
Would there'd be a reason why the club would need to fib about the capacity???
i cant think of one off the top of my head but then again how often do you see 55k at Etihad or 100k at the MCG(obviously post Great Southern Stand days)??
Etihad = NONE (Once for soccer GF, not this years one)
MCG = Once (2008 GF)
