home average - 9,226
members - 13k

Ok, part of the problem with GWS members is they come in two types - almost no one is going to have a full season membership due to 4 games being played a season in Canberra - which has its own membership class. So while I think the membership numbers are accurate, they are only so if you assume they comprise mostly 3 and 5 game memberships, and generally will go to different matches.

no worries mate

im not talking members, im talking people with season tickets. supposedly 12k people with season tickets means no one is using them. I mean, you'd except lots of people with memberships of shorter durations and walk ups to account for at least several thousand a game, which means probably 5-6k are turning up in an average home game with the season ticket.

I don't know why AFL did'nt just put a team in each area. An ACT AFL team and a Western Sydney one as well as Gold Coast. The code seems to always boast of record profits, so 3 new teams to keep funding would have been no problem.

Instead they have a Sydney team playing in two cities.

& not popular in either.

Yeah AFL really thought they would be like the Wanderers when they put a team in Sydney's West. Now it's a 30 year plan apparently

heres a quote from 2011, before the Giants even started

– a $200 million investment that chief executive Andrew Demetriou has said is a long-term vision for the game. According to the AFL, its support for the expansion franchise is "not for two years, or five years, or 10 years. We've based our plans on 20 years, 30 years and beyond."

idiot

GWS will probably need 300 years before they can pull more than a few thousand watching that fumbling crap on tv

The dumb fans lapped up every bullshit line sprouted by Vlad about the midgets..

Of course he will say. It will take yrs , it was his baby & when the fans finally wake up that it was all bullshit ,Vlad will be long gone(bolted already) with a golden handshake.

He won't be around when reality hits hard.
Unwanted,unasked for team in a city where AFL fans already had a club & that club needs lots of extras,& made sure they are in the finals to keep them relevant.
