Guess The Crowd: Saints vs Lions

Post: # 1714268Post saintspremiers »

27,444

In an unusual move, the AFL have forecasts for all games this round. Normally Etihad doesn’t do crowd forecasts (at least publicly) which is Shyte. Anyway, they are going for 26,500

Too many other marque fixtures are on so we will suffer crowd wise sadly.

The AFL's prediction is around the mark.

I reckon around 26k

But really should be 40k +

Ok we don't look like a top four team
But its the first game of the year
The weather should be warm .
The game is at a good time
We are favorites
We should win

Cmon saints fans
Turn up and cheer the boys on .

We've got 37k+ members . If most of them front we could crack 40k .

Lions have few fans in Melb

and I don't think our fans are that keen

Temp downgraded to 24 with plenty of rain. Hopefully a deluge!

25-30k and close the f****** roof!

No need to get wet at the footy anymore. How times have changed.

It’s round 1 which always draws a premium re the crowd. Problem is we had 43K at Etihad last night and 90K and the G on Thursday night. 64K are forecast tonight at the G. Also plenty at Albert Park.

So that’s why the official forecast is only 26.5K

Neutrals don't go to Etihad, unlike AFL members and MCC card holders at the MCG, having said that the Lions do have supporters in Melbourne from the Fitzroy days. I have read an estimate of 25,000, but that was 20 years ago and some may have died, so perhaps there are 15,000 around now. I would think the club would be disappointed with less than 30,000 on a Saturday afternoon. The Lions are entertaining to watch and the Saints will be favourites so I'd expect a turnout in this vicinity.

It was just over 23K. But it seemed a bit bigger. Moorabbin wing in good voice today.
