It's pretty smile, a lot of fans will make the effort on a cold Sat night if were playing well..but will watch it on telly if we're not
Unfortunate..but it's human nature.,

Having said that..14000 is awful..surely close to our lowest ever home crowd at the ground?

It's our second lowest crowd home or away at the ground, only 500 more than the lowest!

Has live TV against the gate effected us more than other clubs is my big question also?

Does anyone know how the game rated on TV and how those ratings compare to say last year??

None of your business if anyone turned up or not.

Maybe people had better things to do with their Saturday nights.

I for one was up on Sunday morning at 5.00 am for a 7.00am start to the half marathon I was running in.

My fitness and my sport is more important to me than making some far flung supporter from a backwater happy :roll:
as i said before i dont give a malcom blight fat rats tossbag what you were doing or why you didnt turn up ... i just find it hard to belive over half our members had other things on this saturday night ... 14K is pathetic i may be from a far flung backwater but at least our members from this backwater will support our damn team win or loss pending... 14K at a game is a joke and it makes our club look like a joke

live on TV would effect it for sure but i reckon if we were 3 losses this year instead of 3 wins i reckon we would have had more turn up

Weren't you in the CS?
Yes. Myself and about 17 others

That is a very poor argument.
I do not get paid exorbitantly to attend games in fact I have to pay for that privilege.
I turn up to work regardless of the weather and I put in the required effort so should the players regardless of what the supporters do.
fine but its that attitude is why we are never going to be a BIG club ... how many Collingwood ferals you reckon would hold that veiw ?
you want to be a fair weather supporter than in my opinion you have no right to question the dedication to the guys who put 150% into giving their all ... geting beaten isnt not trying , getting outplayed is not giving up , not being up to standard is not being lazy ....
Well said.

How dare you call me a fair weather supporter.
I am a fully paid up social club member and have been for over 20 years.
The club gets my money year in and year out including the 10 years I spent living in Sydney when I only got to one or two games a year.
The club only cares about my cash it sure as hell doesn't care about me or you for that matter.

And as you obviously did not understand my point I will repeat it for you.
Supporters do not have to give 100 % commitment to the club as they pay them.
Players get paid to play. If I was paid to support I would be there screaming my guts out every game.

Were you there on Saturday night or did you miss the game simply because you are on the other side of the country?
That is a good excuse for not going, better than mine certainly but still an excuse.

Well one supporter from that far flung backwater managed to get to the game last Sat night. (1st half made me question the wisdom of my decision tho)


It's a shame ignorance isn't painful
