But will it feel like a home game??

Post: # 1118257Post saintspremiers »

Given all the filth fans that are everywhere and breeding as we speak, I have my doubts that the majority of fans will be Saints fans.

Unlike the Geelong sellout in 2009 where we got 54K in attendance, I don't think anywhere near as many Saints fans will be there.

No doubt plenty of reserved seat holders will take along Pies fans, plus filth fans would've been much quicker to snap up the unallocated seats on Level 3 that are normally walk up seating.

My tip is 55% filth, 30% saints and 15% neutrals (given it's a big match).

Thoughts?

The Pies supporters seem to sneak in everywhere - they are used to doing it.

I know a few Saints fans without Reserved seats, who will "never" take their chances in general seating against the Pies. I think that this feeling goes for many other Saints supporters, who aren't prepared to put up with the abuse and filthy language.

I expect St.Kilda to have the support on Friday night.

I would like that to be so, but I think the filth will have the support, not by much but they will have it.


I love this club

22,000 saints
7000 neutrals
20,000 pies

Pies will make twice the noise though. The culture of showing little or no passion is now engrained in the average Stkilda supporter

I make the noise of 10 Pies :)

Pies will be louder what ever happens. Will probably win the supporter numbers as well.

The Pies WILL be louder and noisier and have passion. AS THEIR SIDE RUN OUT THROUGH THE BANNER. The Pies WILL be louder and noisier and have passion AT THE FIRST BOUNCE. They have strength in numbers so it follows that they will be louder. HOWEVER.... that noise and support can be made to evaporate IF the Saints take the game up to the Magpies and (hopefully) get a good start. As far as this poster is concerned its OUR home game and NOTHING will make me fear the opposition!
I believe in the power of the possible! while respecting the power of the probable, nobody gives us ANY chance this week (including sadly some of our own) I give us EVERY chance!!! Until we have no prospect of victory!
This mob have plenty to gloat about, and hate them as much as I do, they are an awesome football team, the challenge is there for ALL of us to do our bit for the club this friday!
Cool heads and strong nerve people!!!! It's there to be won!!!

Thats me.....i haven't yelled at the footy for over 10 years....

The idiots around me spend the majority of the game abusing the umpires or
whining about under performing players of the team they are meant to be supporting....pathetic really.....


Saints looking like a bottom 4 team in 2024.

I booked a ticket on the Moorabbin Wing, so hopefully there are no Pies nearby!

We do need to make a lot of noise to counter them though.

Start yelling then if you want to create atmosphere
