I guess a logical (but we know that won't happen) way of doing it is see how many attended when the Giants where playing the Swans and how many attended when they where not playing the Swans. Like I said that would be the logical way of doing it and like I said that won't happen, will it?

BTW I did tune into this game, and the pics provided of the crowd are what I saw, so players or not, it's a true representation of what the stands looked like during the game.

So logic would also tell us the Titans have virtually no fans judging by pics from their games? Right? Logic yeah?

Exhibit A

So what? We are talking about the first game of the season, not the rest of the games!

well the proof is in the pudding TLPG. and the pudding is the whole season. comprehende? eels is right. blind freddy knows this.

We are talking logic when looking at the numbers beau not pics. 38000 with swans and strugling to get 7000 when they didn't have them in what you would have thought would have been a well attended game on a sunny Sydney afternoon.

No he's wrong. You can't make a judgment like that because there will always be curiosity value for a first ever. West Sydney's first ever game in the Australian Football League was always going to draw a higher crowd than it's average no matter what. That's why your "pudding" fails to be relevant - as usual.

"Everybody knows that there were 30k swans fans and 8k GWS fans if they are lucky at that game." (The first match of the 2012 AFL season)

Oh man, another member of the side of good makes a meal of it!

Come on, Eel. You can't make comments like this and get away with it, and I'm a league guy!

TL is right about the curiosity value. That faded out after the first game to the point that the most recent home crowds have been below 10,000. Which for an AFL club is a major concern. But like TL said, that's not relevant to this file.

But to be real, who can really tell just how many fans of each team is there on match day? At any match; NRL or AFL or any other code for that matter. Unless Eel has a link to show these numbers, I think he should get a BS point. Just concentrate on what's reported, Eel. Plenty there to keep the AFL mouthpieces whining.

Striker, how about you work in conjunction with Xman in adjudicating our BS files here? Would be good to have someone from the RL perspective to remove any calls of bias.

How about it?

Yeah I think that would be cool. You know I think it may be good to be a moderator here as a part of it.

Good to hear you've taken on the role in the BS files. I hope this puts to an end, once and for all, any calls of AFL bias in the BS files.

As for moderator status, you mean the BS files or the Fight Club or some other part of the site?

BS Files only. If that's okay of course. I know I'm only new here.

Yes striker as mod and adjudicator here sounds reasonable...on the condition Xman has no authority to sack striker :D

Will you and others from the RL side for that matter, now accept there is no AFL bias here now that Striker has come on board?
