Title: Poor performances by Richmond partly to blame for falling Vic crowds: AFL (Age)
Post by: one-eyed on July 31, 2014, 06:06:54 PM
The AFL has identified four key factors for the fall in Victorian attendances this season.

In short, it blames its own fixture, complex ticketing, poor performances by Richmond, Carlton and St Kilda and fan fatigue over the Essendon drug scandal and its messy fallout.

In my case, forget about the fixture and complex ticketing, they are NON-ISSUES. The poor performance of Richmond is of course a huge reason why I haven't attended a match since the Dreamtime game: As is the continuing frustrating wait for a huge raft of Essendon players to be rightfully given lengthy suspensions for knowingly trying to cheat their way towards success by injecting illegal substances into their bodies. Another huge factor, which the AFL has been powerless to address is the continuing congestion of the game by Lyon, Roos and others which is ruining the game as a spectacle for me.

I know we have banged on about this before RR but I refuse to watch Dockers dees or swans games on tv

 How is that graph accurate? It has us with less mcg crowds than Carltank and the other muppets in 2013 which wasn't the case
