We've been shit for 35 years..... and have 70,000 + members coming off a year we didn't make finals, and many tipped us for bottom 4, GAGF.


Edit: Last time the tiges got the wooden spoon, 2007.

Richmond crowd attendance (3rd) - Total - 909,203 Average - 41,327

For the record, Adelaide finished 8th that year, and came in at 7th for crowd attendance.
If you count away attendance then Adelaide will almost always be lower as we actually play Away for all Away games.

Only way we get close is if Dusty Martin kicks the winner, after giving Toby Greene a don't argue, then slotting a running goal from 50 on the boundary, to put us up by a point with seconds left.

Yellow and BLACK!

Sold out, the week after their opponent drew 14k. I'm not sure whether to me more concerned about the Tiger bandwagon or the Night King's army...
Heard Gil on AFL360 talking about the Night King's army.

Hai Gil. Do you read BigFooty? Or maybe I'm Gil and I don't know it...

Tigers supporters are always talking their fans up and how big their crowds are etc etc

SO you would have to say if they don't break this record then they have to consider it a failure

Would be embarrassing if we did take the record, Richmond v GWS ... overseas sporting arena's would get the impression that the GWS supporters had contributed to the noise when both GWS supporters could be off buying his chips or in the dunny.

I was lucky enough to be at the drawn Grand Final in 2010. That would have broken the world record for silence after a game was played when the final siren went.
KP when Freo beat Geelong in the final was quieter. Was like a funeral procession leaving the ground.

There are no places in our sport where you can work up a huge roar.

Soccer is slow paced,nfl has ten minutes of action in three and a half hours of a game.

AFL is unrelenting from start to finish.

The 1995 semi against Essendon and also the draw,some great Tiger roars in those games.

The West Coast game that year when we had not beaten them in ten years at Princes Park,17k there but flea said it sounded like 70k.

I went troppo that day.

2013,when Richmond ran out,you could feel the walls shake.

Adelaide crowd Friday night by far the loudest I have ever heard. Been to grand finals, saw the 09 Anzac Day game, been to premier league games and Richmond games but the Adelaide fans are easily the loudest.

Kidding, right?
110 is 'normal' pain threshold. 150 is eardrum rupturing from excessive vibration.
Yep. some extraordinarily ignorant jizzfesting about achieving permanent hearing damage on this thread.

Folks, hearing loss is permanent and irreversible, and exposure to the sort of levels we're talking about here will cause it.

Nightclub owners dislike this.
