A strange trend from the Swans games to have been played at Telstra Stadium to date.
2002 -
54,169 v Essendon (who wear black shorts at home games)
34,404 v Carlton (blue shorts)
40,386 v Richmond (black shorts)
2003 -
30,803 v Carlton (blue shorts)
45,917 v Essendon (black shorts)
72,393 v Collingwood (black shorts)
71,019 finals v Brisbane (maroon shorts)
2004 -
33,127 v Melbourne (blue shorts)
50,091 v Collingwood (black shorts)
46,440 v Essendon (black shorts)
40,282 finals v West Coast (blue shorts)
As can be clearly statistically shown, no game involving a team who wear blue shorts has ever got more than 40,282 (no H&A game more than 34,404); while no game that didn't involve a team wearing blue shorts has ever got less than 40,386.
Before people talk about moving the Kangaroos or Western Bulldogs up here, maybe they should heed the statistical warning. Their uniforms just don't appeal to the Telstra Stadium-going classes.
(Yes, this thread is a ********-take).
