Hahaha, as if the NRL could fill Etihad for the Storm in a preliminary final. They are struggling with tickets sales for AAMI Park as is.

Meanwhile front page of the Daily Telegraph in Sydney today

They played at etihad in 09 against the Broncos & only got 27,000 so I guess thats why they are still playing at AAMI park.

Imagine if they played at the MCG & nearly got a sellout like the Swans are going to get in Sydney.

yes, imagine if were talking about the storm out drawing a collingwood v essendon game in Melbourne!

2UE reporting ticket sales thus far as:

50,500 for Canterbury vs South Sydney

Nearly 20,000 for Melbourne vs Manly

54,000 for Sydney vs Collingwood

AFL is just an unstoppable force, even with the higher ticket prices and the friday night time slot.

Yes the storm would play that game in lollipop land where the pixies frolic and the faeries dance.

That's only because AAMI Park is such a $hit venue! You only have to look at the State of Origin crowd at Etihad to see that it'll pull more!

Hilarious to revisit this thread from the start and some of the comments made by Raider.

Since then, Raider has gone into hiding.

Already over 54,000 tickets sold for Swans vs Magpies.

The joke surely is that this is a contest between the two biggest NRL teams playing in the second biggest game of the year V a foreign imported team (Swans) that is shuned by many in Sydney and a Victorian side playing in a foreign area which hates the sport according to many on this site.

The only comparision I can think of is, the Storm out rating Collingwood V Essendon on Melbourne TV. It would never happen.

lets wait for the final attendances to be announced shall we

& lord almighty if the title of this thread does indeed come true .... still a very .. very strong possibility
combined with the Swines game being bumped out of main steam TV for a chick flick ... Sweet Home Alabama .. due to lack of interest
I will wreak havoc on this site for weeks
