Almost 81,000 watched the two teams clash in Round 1 last year.


Nearly 20k down on the same game last year..........................wow

Whats going on AFL fans, like i said before on this site...........................you cant beat economic factors and the car industries leaving SA, VIC is going to effect your crowds weather you like it or not.

120,000 down after round 1
excuse
venues not available

venues available for rnd 2
2 games in .... about another 25,000 down on expectations

looks like that 120K will grow considerably by the end of this round eh fumblers

so far this round:
AFL: 105k after 2 games, with some big games coming. How dissapointing....

30k after 2 "big" NRL games.

120K down after rnd 1
excuse: no venues available

probably another 60K down for rnd 2
with all venues available

fumbler = wankers

that's all we need to see here folks

60k down for rnd 2? >

So the AFL should get 165k for two home and away games with total capacities of 155k?

Oh dear....

44k for Bombers vs Hawks at etihad..............................wow in years past that game would have been close to 50k.
Fri 26-Jul-2013 7:50 PM Att:49,505 Venue: Docklands

So we have 20k down for thursday game
And 5k down for the Friday game..

Alarm bells are ringing Mr Demetruio.....

AD is concerned. The AFL need access to the MCG from round one. I think he is using rnd 1 crowds to prove that a vacant MCG in mid march is a joke and the AFL should have access.

You can't compare Car v Rich to previous years because its usually the season opener which always draws a few more. Add to that both teams lost in the first round which lessens expectations of tiger fans because they always hope for a special year but are left dissapointed after game 1 :_<>

Having said that 60k for a soggy Thursday night is awesome

And tonight? Over 40k in a sellout at Etihad. While the NRL only managed 30k from 2 games.

a sellout of 40K
in a stadium that holds 56K

:_<> :_<> :_<> :_<> :_<> :_<> :_<>

when will their delusions cease :_<> :_<> :_<> :_<>

a large proportion of the middle tier of 3 isnt available to members or GA, so unfortunately its a reality at Etihad stadium. The GA sells out for games like this very quickly.

This was posted on twitter 4 days ago:
@AFL: Less than 500 full view and 300 impeded view seats left for #AFLDonsHawks at Etihad on Friday night. Book tickets via http://t.co/D2sNuZhUTM

15K empty seats
that's all we need to see here folks
