The Good Friday games are at Docklands. Most years we get 2, sometimes 3, games at the G, all away games and usually at least 1 is against Melbourne, another low drawing team. What makes you think that attendance at away games at the G is any less than at corresponding away games at Docklands ?The opening game is most likely going to be 95% Melbourne supporters. Bulldogs supporters refuse to travel all the way to the mcg at the best of times. It's the reason the club doesn't deserve big games the supporters haven't turned up on good Friday so that will most likely be gone unless something dramatic changes.
Having slightly less sleep for one night of the year is not a genuine excuse if you want to watch the side.
