Preview Dees game crowd size (?)

[Gasometer]

Bristle and Lloydy were talking about us getting a big crowd this week with North supporters getting out this past month. Some chatter about a big test for supporters. THey thought 30K should be expected.

I will say 24,701.

 

[Benno_900]

No way there'll be 30K with Melbourne in this form.

 

[Spitta09]

21,000. Maybe a 16,000 north 5,000 melbourne split.

 

[Event Horizon]

In any form, Dees supporters don't go to Etihad. There will be about 5k of them I reckon. If that's the case, any crowd around 24-25k mark will be a good result.

 

[fuego]

They have already set us up to fail, would be great to get 30k, but I would be very pleasantly surprised if we did, I think 24 k hope we get more.

yes that will be about it, pity we have to play them at Etihad every year it whacks out home ground attendance figures, year in year out.

Threat of snow...

 

[Gasometer]

I dont think we have shut level 3 this year have we? That's a good sign I suppose.

 

[NMFC 1811]

Lets hope for 26,000- 27,000

 

[GeordieRoo]

Saturday Afternoon 2.10 pm...

What this still exists?

 

[Tas]

This should be a 'bring a friend' game.

 

[TheKanga]

24,725
90% North
10% Melbourne

Dees fans seem to never turn up to Etihad games.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Mid 20's would be great. I suspect it may be closer to 21k. Hoping it's closer to 30k though (highly unlikely).

 

[Forever North]

2 for 1 coupon in the herald-sun + free beer, an Abba concert at half time, a giant water slide for the kids and maybe we'll get 30,000 at ES for a NM v Melb 'blockbuster'. FFS do these dickhead football experts have any idea.

 

[LB2Snake]

He doesn't sound ready, and i have seen none of his vfl form, but you would thnk the marketing team at north, at some stage, must be pushing to get Maj in for a home game. That'd get a few extra K through the gates. Let's hope it's for one of our (4????) Friday night games next year.

 

[toneG]

Etihad is too expensive for Melbourne supporters. And thats a real worry.

 

[Tas]

Maybe raffle an opportunity to stick the jumper on and have a run with the boys?

 

[Bluish]

At least it won't be as bad as the 2009 game against the Dees at Etihad (Goldy kicked 5, we broke a long losing streak). That game had the strangest atmosphere I can remember.

 

[Dan]

I think we'll get 26K.

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

If the dees were in form would we even get 30k at Etihad?

I'm calling 22,245

 

[Long Live the King]

Its a pity the darwin game was such a bad spectacle,with North getting some good press about its game style there could have been a few neutrals out there happy to go to watch some free flowing footy on a Saturday arvo. Anyway Im not concerned about crowd size. lets just get a win with no injuries.

 

[Old Skool]

I'm hoping we get the 23K required to break even.

There's definitely a few more North fans turning up to games.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Deees don't come on principle, and their team havking no chance gives them more of an excuse. I'll be surprised to see more than a couple of thousand there. It will be interesting to see how many of us turn out - it's the Saturday afternoon slot everyone says they want, so let's make it a real home ground crowd. Mid 20s would be a great result, because that would be the kind of North crowd that only normally comes to see a Carlton/Collingwood/Essendon contest.

Dees fans seem to never turn up to Etihad games.

Agreed.

Apparently the trek all the way to the other side of the CBD is just too frightening for most of them.

I reckon maybe 19-20k North fans, 4-5k Shemon fans.
