Lowest Carl vs Coll MCG crowd since 1921

[carlton2dabone]

I don't blame the AFL like you Vics, It was our fault and I blame our supporters... I was there week in and week out. They weren't, they are now because of our oval and our success

Attend the games and support your teams you blood vics. Stop being using excuses

Bullshit, I pay the money to attend a game, that means the AFL either provides a service that is adequate for me or I don't spend my money and time on it.

Which fool would fork out his hard earned cash and valuable time for an inadequate service or product. AFL competition is a business, I am not in the habit of giving charity to profit making businesses.

They want my business then they need to earn it with a worthwhile product or service. Do you understand how business works?

I don't blame the AFL like you Vics, It was our fault and I blame our supporters... I was there week in and week out. They weren't, they are now because of our oval and our success and they will continue going to the game (unlike vics do)

You raving hypocrite. Maybe the AFL will build you another new stadium the next time Port fans drop off.

The fact is, people aren't going. The AFL can thumb their noses at the punter like they usually do, or they can take heed because the bottom line's taking a hit.

 

[Righteo]

Earlier this month..... It was a sellout.

Such a cheeky s**t Quinz.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Simon Lethlein should be out of a job.

No he won't. He's just doing what he's been told to do by the fat controller and the silver spoon-sucker.

Also, our poor attendance is down to fixturing. Yours is down to team performance. So basically no matter when the game is scheduled, you won't turn up unless the team's any good. Is that right?

I'd say that's actually worse.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

So if you were middle of the table and drawn a Sunday twilight game you'd sell out Adelaide Oval?

Not a chance.

We would fill up at least 80% of the stadium that's for sure... That's a lot more then you vics would.

 

[Tiger Toffee]

What game are we talking about?

I thought the person quoting me was talking about fre-wce but he was talking about wce-nm which I think your referring to also but didn't you folk have a public holiday the next day. This game tonight doesn't go into a public holiday, it goes into school holidays.

If they played their biggest rival they would.

 

[CrazyJoeDevola]

Western Sydney = Stalingrad
Gold Coast = Kursk

richmond = Hiroshima

80% of a stadium as long as tarp was covering half the seats?

 

[ManWithNoName]

If they played their biggest rival they would.

So they'd get 10k more than the two clubs tonight got?

HAHA, with one of our lowest crowds ever for a Carlton vs Collingwood match we still beat your average crowd figures over in SA.

That enough should be enough to shut you up.

 

[Mr Smiff]

No

Sunday night fail.
North or Saints can have them from now on.

Now, that's a little unfair on those two teams...
Give it to Port Adelaide.....
At home, of course.
After all, they're making the most noise...!

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Fantastic crowd attendance tonight if you care about scheduling for games!!

The people have spoken and I couldn't be more pleased about it. People are fed up with this s**t with crap timeslots!

No the crowd numbers at AMMI was not only due to performance, There are thousands of reasons why people did not turn up

That's funny don't think I have seen 1 tarp all year, have you been watching 2012 games?

Go on then.

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

Exceptional circumstances yes, but it was 11th v last, and still a crap timeslot. I had the headlights on driving to the game. People will turn up if the attraction is strong enough.

Surely after the last 18 months you understand how strong the Cult of Hird is?

 

[HeavyPop]

It was a strange feeling watching the game. Not sure if it's because it was a poor game or the time slot, but I was pretty happy for it to end.

It makes me wonder how Sunday Night Football is so massive in America.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Sunday night football (other than a twilight game) is a stupid idea. I suspect it will be dropped next season in favour of Thursday night football.

 

[The King!]

sunday night is god awful for families especially

unless its a long weekend don't bother

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Sunday night is a bad time for a footy match. Twilight is OK, but not night.

 

[Pie eyed]

Go on then.

The dog ate my...Ticket
Bus pass, wife...car...

 

[Cursed Cat]

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

Harry Taylor approves of your historically reference, though is conflicted by the nature of the comparison.

 

[ManWithNoName]

My ever lasting memory from that game is a chant of "If you love James Hird stand up" starting and EVERYONE, Essendon, Richmond, neutrals, all stood up and cheered him. Same thing when there was a Sheedy chant. Great night. Even though we lost.

 

[Engimal]

It could be worse. 40k is as good as some clubs get all season.

Imagine fixturing a St Kilda/ WB/ Melb/ GWS/ North etc time game at this time slot.

10k max attendance.

Richmond v North got around 34k, which was pretty good considering the two clubs have a combined ~20,000 less members than Carlton/Collingwood.
