Could be better. Our crowd against WC was 10,000 down because these 10,000 tiger supporters don't love the club enough to drive an extra 5km to Etihad. Probably should be 55,000 average home for home games

and I think this was the reason for alot of people not going to that game the fact that it was at etihad didn't have as much an effect on those crowd numbers against westcoke. Families don't like Sunday night games IMO.

the game started at 3.15pm and was over by 6.00pm don't think that can be classified as being at "night"

Carlton's stats are helped by the fact they played Collingwood in a blockbuster in their first home game and followed up with Essendon in their next home game a week later.

Collingwood got 57K against us and were the home team on Anzac Day.

Essendon's chance comes this week being a home team against us.

We win this week and we can boost our home gate with a big crowd against Hawthorn next week. :thumbsup

Our supporters need to show up to away games. The crowd against Pies in Round 2 was very disappointing. You'd expect a game like this so early in the season to attract 70,000 at the very least. 10,000 tigers jump off the bandwagon after 1 loss. Lack of passion and excitement to be at the game

the round 2 crowd was very disappointng because the team that boasts they have 70k members could only draw a total 60k to its first home game of the season

Would think those numbers say more about Pies supporters than Tiger fans

Has nothing to do with being precious about money. I didnt go, I choose not to give money to the enemy. I buy my RFC membership every year. I contribute to JD Foundations and Fighting Funds. I think its incredible that some Richmond people think it appropriate to make other Richmond people feel bad even if they make a decent yearly contribution. Personally I think that attitude stinks. Anyone who buys a Richmond membership is good enough supporter for me.

last year in Darwin it sounded like there was about 10 tiger fans there, yet they easily outnumbered the enemy.

were those tiger fans and all the others who travel to interstate games precious about their money.

Is it true that you yourself wont go interstate to follow the tigers? Precious about money or just not a true supporter?

FFS give it a break.The collonwoood game was during the easter extra long weekend.

I'm with Madtiger. If they game is in Melbourne, you need to have a good excuse not to go. I think it would make a massive difference to the boys out there having a rawkus tiger crowd behind them.

As if you wouldn't want to go to the game anyway, regardless of whose home game it is. Going to the footy is one of life's greatest pleasures.

R1   2003    45,436    vs Adel @ AAMI
R1   2008    45,383    vs Coll @ MCG

R11 2011    43,801    vs Rich @ MCG

The paper yesterday mentioned that all but two clubs (Adel and Bris) had lower home crowds this year compared to last year. We're on 42,114 per game at the moment. We'll need 92,000 over our last two home games to pass last year's total and average.

http://stats.rleague.com/afl/crowds/2012.html

We're still in the top 4 for home crowds btw despite playing a home game up in Cairns and our season falling away thanks to all those narrow losses.
