Our Average Crowd

[Gunit]

After todays match our average attendance for 2017 sits at just over 51k.

Currently we are the highest in the league showing the sleeping giant has awoken.

Hilarious.

Bunch of fair weather supporters and bandwagon jumping dickheads.

 

[Joey longshadow]

Surprised the Dees are as high as they are... Snowfalls must be shit this season

 

[Drofder]

And yet Cwood, Carlton, Whingethorn and Arsendon all never have to go to Geelong. Unreal.

Here's the one that really matters to the end of Round 14. Still an obviously excellent result for you guys as polesitters.

Was literally about to post the same thing.

Footywire needs to default sort on a home crowd basis, since (for example) the 10K who watched GWS-Richmond in Canberra are hardly reflective of the Tigers' numbers yet drag them down compared to clubs which don't play GWS/Brisbane/GC away from home.

Horid for Norf. Got to wonder how long we all have to bankroll these kunts.

Let's be fair, they're sitting fifth on the ladder and playing good football. Not surprised by the demons at all. Still hate them and their fans though.

The AFL has worked wonders with that club. No bias of course...

Not denying it in the least. Should probably call them the AFL Demons these days.

Don't tell Eddie.

 

[tigerz18]

average? i think our crowd is pretty awesome

 

[Dr Tigris]

YOu can see GWS just continuing to grow their crowds. And it isn't too far to Norf from where they are. Hmmm

We rock!! And if we can get on another roll the numbers will go up even more.

 

[Madtiger2006]

Imagine we played Pies on a Friday night instead of Thursday night and Dockers on Saturday instead of mother day. Would have been an even better average.

 

[telsor]

Melbourne's crowds have been more about who they've played.

Their biggest.
85657 Vs us, rnd 5
70926 Vs Collingwood, QB, rnd 12
47882 Vs Adelaide, in Adelaide, rnd 8

Next 2 are Vs Carlton (rnd 2) and Essendon (rnd6)

They've only had 1 non Vic club in Melbourne 27K Vs freo and the Suns at Alice Springs, which only got 5k.


Point being, that they're not exactly pulling their own crowds.

Norf are a surprise. 182,860.

I dip my hat to the 150,000 people who went to watch their team play lolnorf

It's really not.

What matters to those who matter (The AFL, broadcasters, sponsors, etc) is the total crowd. The Carlton v Richmond crowd in round 1 wasn't irrelevant to Richmond just because it was an away game for example.

Let's be honest, Carlton are a bunch of kids and are no chance of finals. Collingwood are unwatchable. Essendon play more games at Docklands. We bloody well should be #1 given our ladder position. We'll probably end up first again this year, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Like we've argued in years past - always need to factor in form when comparing crowd sizes. I think any of the top 4 have potential to end up #1 if results go their way.

Not sure Carlton could..they seem to have shrunk. Essendon, as you said, too many Docklands games...They'd have to have a VERY good year (and/or a really bad one for both Collingwood and us). Collingwood could beat us with a similar year...The rest would be relying on Us/Collingwood/Essendon all being shit.

Not 'irrelevant', but home crowds are where the host club makes bank as a vital portion of its business model. It's why membership and stadium deals are so vitally important. It's why Hawthorn and North have pushed into Tasmania. It's why Geelong has spent the past 15 years pushing hard for its taxpayer-funded Kardinia Park upgrades, etc.

Consider also, if a club like North has a run of away games against Richmond, WCE, Adelaide and Port those resultant bumper crowd figures have practically zero to do with the Arden Streeters.

They're certainly not taking any matchday revenue home or contributing to paying the operational costs of the hosts beyond turning up as 'away team', but jeez, doesn't their "total crowd" figure receive an artificial pump-up.

To put into context 60K average home attendance is what Pies were averaging in their golden years 2010-2011. Imagine if we have a couple of years like that!
