Collingwood and Richmond - who has the greater supporter base

[Zevon]

Just a reminder: Terms like “Minnowmond”, “Shrinkingwood”, “Dwindlewood” and the like belong on the bay, not the main board. Same goes for referring to either team as a minnow, when clearly neither fits that description.

Pies pulled 70k+ crowd to a sunday arvo game against a non vic team

Tiggers then pull a 58k crowd to a Friday night game against a vic team

For the record, I think Collingwood have more barrackers than Richmond.

But Round 3 2022 Collingwood vs Geelong at the MCG had 52,000.

You're not suggesting the Pies are bandwagoners are you?

 

[doppleganger]

For the record, I think Collingwood have more barrackers than Richmond.

Agree.

 

[Django]

Agree.

As the Ghost of Jim Jess said: Tigers had a comparatively better crowd against the Cats, (Or just a bigger crowd) than the Pies in 2022.

Perhaps that number has inflated this year. You know, bandwagon, fair weather supporters and all.

Pies are up and about. It's good to see, and I like it. Everybody needs a nemesis.

I can happily accept that Collingwood has more supporters.

I am also happy to accept that Richmond actually wins Premierships from time to time rather than Collingwood.

The 1920's must have been brilliant though.

The Pies look like they can challenge again.

I guess we shall see.

Enjoy the season.

My dck is bigger than yours because more people come to see it every weekend.

No no my dck is bigger because more ppl pay an annual membership to see it any time they want.

No my dck is bigger because more ppl watch it on tv.

Hold my beer lads...mine is the biggest because Roy from Sydney said so.

Well we’re ****ed if Robin Nahas sides with his former club then

I'll see you a semi and raise you the BIGGEST EVER crowd against a non-victorian side. Rich V GWS 94,258

I'll see your 94,258 and raise you 97,665. BIGGEST EVER crowd against a non Vic side in any game other than a GF

Richmond fans very very quiet! Collingwood easily the biggest club in the competition. Out of the 97,665 at the mcg 97,000 Collingwood fans. Seriously tho the mcg is too small for Collingwood!!

Love how you won a PF and dug up this thread for 3k supporters just to compare to Richmond

Amazing

Not quite buddy. As you can see by the comments below, a GWS supporter mentions it was the biggest showout from their fans in Melbourne, one estimate of 7,000. So please, enough with the bullshyte. It was THEIR supporters which bumped the crowd figure. Tiges v GWS still the most supporters at a game from any one supporter base. Long live being the Kings of the AFL jungle

You keep telling yourself that mate. Yes there was only about 300 gws fans. The other 97,300 were all in black and white. We the the biggest and into another grand final. We have the most members in the afl an all time afl record. We smashed the all time home and away attendance record and averaged 75,000 at the mcg during the home and away season. Collingwood total home and away attendance record this year was 1,384,000. Collingwood is the only club to break over 1,3 and 1.2 million during the home and away season. Richmond have never done this and never will! We broke the all time most one sided crowd v interstate club with 97,000 Collingwood fans.

Enjoy your next 30 years of mediocrity Richmond.

According to Roy Morgan collingwood have 875,000 followers to Richmond only 554,000. So it ain’t close and it never has been.

Your one record v and interstate club that you had against Collingwood to try and prove a point that Richmond were bigger is now gone. I know it hurts you and I do honestly hope you can seek some comfort knowing that collingwood is the king of the afl. The biggest army in Australia always has been and always will be.

One of their biggest show outs in agree but the biggest show out gws had was in the of in 2017. Gws has 2,000 that game. Tonight they had 300!

if the mcg could have hold 150,000 we would have filled the ground. Like I said Richmond are all things going equal are we’ll behind Collingwood in regards to total support numbers and are also behind Carlton and Essendon

 

[gopies1981]

Seems like tigerRANCE is not getting much sleep tonight. It’s ok Richmond are still a relatively big club not the biggest but big enough to remain financially stable for the next couple of years

 

[Shane Heard]

If that was Essendon last night vs Giants we’d get 99k in there easy.

Pie fans have been ever so desperate for a long time hoping everyone else will acknowledge their fantasy about being the biggest club in the land.
Facts are RFC EFC and blues are bigger. Collingwood just have a cult following and members actually turn up to most games.

 

[Fadge]

If that was Essendon last night vs Giants we’d get 99k in there easy.

Only problem is... a team needs to win at least one final to play in a Prelim.

So that rules Essendon out.

 

[Stottzy]

There were plenty more Giants fans (or plastic ones) at this prelim than there were at the Tigers 17 one. Still, great crowd.

 

[smasha]

3k more 6 years later.
Well done Pie Army.
We set the benchmarks for you to follow.

In the hypothetical world I know it’s true. And that’s what’s most important in this case.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

The latest Roy Morgan Poll had the Pies well ahead of the Tiggers on the number of supporters. The Pies are the best supported of the Vic Teams, but still 450,000 behind the Bloods.

What's your definition of supported? Regardless of any poll the Swans would be lucky to have the 'supporter' most the traditional state clubs have.

agree,

20,000 pies supporters make more noise than 50,000 swans supporters

 

[tiger_tough]

So finals attendance is up 15% since 2017 yet pies could only manage ~2% larger crowd than our corresponding match 6 years ago?

 

[Pistol Night]

So finals attendance is up 15% since 2017 yet pies could only manage ~2% larger crowd than our corresponding match 6 years ago?

Yep that's certainly on our minds today

 

[Occidental]

You expected us to increase your 94,000 crowd by 15%?
You expected us therefore to exceed the ground capacity?
Try again.
