Lowest Carl vs Coll MCG crowd since 1921

[Topkent]

Do we just put this down to the time slot
Or do we acknowledge that there is a crisis in support for Victorian football

40,213 is the lowest crowd between these 2 since 1921

Could you imagine what would happen to Victorian crowds if the pies dropped to the bottom of the ladder again

It's a Sunday night and the weather is miserable. Bullshit over reaction thread.

 

[Dirty Bird]

40k? wtf :|

we got 44k vs GWS in miserable weather and the early Easter Sunday game. Worst timeslot in Australian sports.....

 

[SuperCats9]

Sunday night at 7:10pm, one of the worst days as well, cold and rained all day, can't imagine many Carlton or collingwood supporters being enthusiastic about going to the game.

Best to just sit at home and watch it on TV with the heater/fire on.

 

[tangolikelama]

s**t time slot + Bad Weather = Bad crowd

 

[pazza]

Essendon v Carlton got 68K same timeslot in round 3. Blame Collingwood.

Lowest crowd since 1921
Its just another of a continuing trend of Victorian footy this season

 

[helter skelter]

Should have played the game at Etihad.

When was the last time they played on a s**t Sunday night with one team a real contender for the spoon?

There have been a lot of late sunday night games this year. That's one problem, but the weather being bad is nothing new this time of year. There is a problem with scheduling.

Bring back Saturday afternoon footy

Public holiday...

It's a combination of both. Bad weather always turns people away, but pair it up with the worst time slot and it's a recipe for failure.

 

[The Dog]

The absolute disgrace that is the 2014 season match scheduling has hit a new low.

The AFL should be ashamed of themselves, 40k for this match up is embarrassing.

In the name of 'experimenting' for TV deals they are trashing the games history.

I've had enough.

 

[LosBeatles]

It's like the Nazi's invading Russia, the AFL have gone too far with the expansion and it's going to destroy the homeland

 

[Topkent]

no it isn't

Channel 7 says it is

 

[RobV]

Once the AFL reverses these crap ticketing arrangements and crap timeslots the crowds will return..

 

[Exe Gesis]

All crowds are down. AFL is a s**t product to what it used to be. #saynotorugbymaul

Public holiday...

.

Exactly, Adelaide is a ghost town that weekend as more people go interstate than normal.

 

[james brayshaw]

LOL.

WA and SA sides play in s**t timeslots all the time and it doesn't affect crowd numbers. You only have yourselves to blame.

Its better to watch it on TV now as opposed to being live at the game as you cant see what the hell is happening during those mauls

Lowest at the MCG. Obviously there have been lower crowds to games played at Princes Park and Victoria Park.

2013 - Adelaide's best crowd 43k
2014 - Adelaide's worst crowd 44k

Not all fan bases are as big of bandwagoners as you [strike]Port[/strike] Carlton fans

 

[ManWithNoName]

LOL.

Yes you're inspirations to us all. Pray. Teach us humble Victorians how to enjoy football.

Back to the topic at hand though, surely this is the last we'll see of this Sunday night farce.
