It's our draw that pumps up the crowd figures.

So this data is only taken off a team via membership entry otherwise its not possible to know who supports who at games.

Not sure how you've come to that conclusion Monk
It is average crowd numbers. Has nothing to do with membership numbers
Simple take all the crowds in games that Richmond has played and divide by the number of rounds played. Gives you the average crowd number
What percentage of the crowd is actually there supporting Richmond isn't really relevant when talking about crowd numbers
Look at it this way. In the 3 big blockbuster games we've played total crowds have been 225k divide that by 3 and our average from those is 75k, doesn't matter what the break up of support is/was

What kinda crowd could we expect for the Eagles game after the bye?

Apparently that depends on the draw.

For 30 years we've had the greatest unrealised potential for crowds => money => on field success. Maybe Benny's 3 0 75 is starting to reap rewards.
I wonder why the Hawks are down? Everyone thinks they are too old and done for mebe? Both playing styles our n the Hawks are pretty ugly but that never stopped the swans getting good numbers and they used to play super ugly.

With them travelling well I'd be shocked if it wasn't 55k+

AFL crowd attendance rises thanks to cheaper food, improved match times and Tigers’ form
Samantha Landy
Herald-Sun
June 14, 2015
FOOTY fans are flocking back to the MCG in droves this season, spurred by cheap food, improved match times — and the success of the mighty Tigers.
A Sunday Herald Sun analysis of matches played in Victoria to Round 10 shows the ’G is on track to get its mojo back this year, after a lacklustre 2014 saw crowd numbers drop by more than 11 per cent.
About 1.18 million people have flooded the gates over 22 matches this season — an average of 53,569, or 8 per cent higher than this time last year.
The MCG’s stellar crowds have ensured AFL attendance statewide is slightly up on 12 months ago, despite crowds at Etihad and Simonds stadiums dropping by 4 and 11 per cent respectively.
The combined attendance at all three stadiums has risen 5 per cent on this time last year, with 1.7 million people attending across 44 games — the biggest improvement of all the states.
The AFL says its efforts to make footy more fan friendly by ditching some of its experimental match times, reducing exorbitant food prices and introducing fun initiatives such as kick-to-kick on Sundays were reflected in the improved crowd numbers.
Fans agree the AFL deserves some credit for enticing them back to the stadiums, but say flying Victorian teams Richmond and Collingwood have also contributed to the ‘G’s big crowds.
The eighth-placed Tigers have played four of their five matches at the ‘G in front of 58,000-plus crowds. Two of the games attracted mammoth audiences of more than 83,000.
Richmond cheer squad chair and super fan Gerard Egan said his team’s strong finish to the 2014 season and recent form had spurred supporters into the bays of the MCG.
“If we're playing well, it’s worth a couple of extra thousand bums on seats,” he said.
AFL Fans Association president Gerry Eeman agreed the form of the top Victorian sides had upped attendances.
He said affordable grub at the Melbourne grounds was also a factor — particularly at the MCG, where the cost of hot dogs, chips, Four ‘N Twenty pies and other popular items has dropped by as much as 40 per cent.
Better match scheduling had also made more people want to come to the footy, but fans still wanted earlier games on Friday nights, he said.
Mr Eeman was torn on whether some clubs’ efforts to offer better ‘match day experiences’ were having any impact.
“Things like Captain Carlton riding in the hovercraft pre-match probably make kids happier to go with their parents. It also adds value,” he said.
Etihad Stadium communications manager Bill Lane said the poor early season form of AFL giants Carlton and, to an extent, Essendon had slightly marred its crowd numbers.
But the stadium’s cheap food offerings on Sundays — especially $3 pies — and the availability of free water and wi-fi had been a winner.
AFL general manager of clubs and operations Travis Auld said initiatives such as kick-to-kick and free admission for kids on Sundays had been well received by fans.
He said Victoria was the only state to boast increased attendance so far this year, with SA, WA and NSW enjoying similar numbers to last year and Queensland crowds taking a slight hit.
“Overall it’s been quite a positive start to the season, we just need to continue it,” he said.

Richmond is averaging more than 50,000 fans to home games in 2015
Jon Ralph
Herald-Sun
July 15, 2015
RESURGENT Richmond is on track to set a home attendance record average as it surges towards an 11th consecutive profit.
And the Tigers, who on Friday night drew 52,564 against Carlton, will start next year with another bumper windfall from Round 1, when they host the Blues on Easter Thursday.
Richmond is not prepared to consider sharing the gate with Carlton next year after the Blues this season ended a long-running sharing arrangement.
There were 83,493 to watch the Tigers take on the Blues in Round 1 this year.
Entering Round 15, Richmond led the league in attendances with an average 53,904 in seven home games.
The average is 21 per cent up on last year’s figure and above its record average, 50,900 in 2013.
The Tigers’ only other year to average more than 50,000 at home was 1980.
The club will this year post a modest profit after last year’s $1,329,530.
After cracking 70,000 members for the first time, the Tigers know they must continue to convert off-field strength into on-field success.
Chief executive Brendon Gale said on Monday the Tigers continued to build on their success.
“We have worked really hard to build the business. At the end of the day it starts with the organisation and footy follows,” he said.
AFL figures have the Tigers fourth in total attendances this year — home and away.
Collingwood has had an average 48,973 to its six home games, and Hawthorn’s 44,702 is affected by its Launceston home games.
Essendon ranks second to Richmond with an average of 51,290, after bumper crowds on Anzac Day and against Hawthorn in Round 2.
At the other extreme, Greater Western Sydney has averaged 9278 fans at its six home games.
The 9-5 Tigers, who have won seven of their past eight games, last year made successive finals series for the first time in 40 years but have not won a final since 2001.

:banghead
Sorry Benny but this is not an accurate assessment.
I'd argue that you haven't worked hard enough when the club is still so reliant on the FTF. I've been banging on about this for a while
Building the business means you are finding new ways to generate other revenue streams over the reliance of members & supporters continually putting there collective hands in their pockets which is what the FTF does/represents.
Yes things have improved markedly and kudos for it but if you took the FTF away then I doubt very much the club would be making profits and there in lies the problem

5. Tiger fans roar, with Hawks on the horizon
Richmond heads into Friday night's blockbuster against Hawthorn on track to notch over one million fans in attendance on aggregate, for the third time in its history. The Tigers went into the game against Fremantle needing 321,145 spectators in the final seven games to match their record home and away attendance of 1,040,290 set in 2013. Tiger crowds are up 25 per cent on last season, a glowing endorsement for the rebuilding of the club under CEO Brendon Gale and coach Damien Hardwick.

If it was a tiger home game another 10k would have shown up. Hawthorn just don't draw that well. Many neutrals go to Hawthorn Geelong games because they are usually close and entertaining.
-
that's right doc, they don't draw well coz they're a crap club wanting to be like us but they can never be like us because we are working class yellow and black and they are just upper class scum. that's the reality doc. just upper class scum from the east. that's all they are and all they ever will be :snidegrin
-
What does it matter that it wasn't our home game?
Why didn't more of ours turn up. Fair few folks have 16 game or 17 game memberships

Several reasons, hawthorn sell 70k memberships to less than 50k people. Most richmond memberships are 11 home gamers/reserved seats. That's 10k right there I woulda thought.

Every club sells pet memberships these day
Tigers been doing it for over 10 years

But it doesn't go towards the membership total. In Richmond's case, at least
No pet memberships numbers are included membership totals these days. Again haven't been for years
-
The pee&poo family club didn't even show up for a home game after dominating the comp in successive weeks not to mention back to back premierships. If success cant get them off the couch what will?
If we ever achieve back to back premierships again :pray it'll be standing room only for most games.
This mob are fakers and I cant wait till the wheels fall off and they'll be wondering where all their supporters have gone, well probably signed up as yellow & black members but we don't want your fickle support you bunch of frontrunner rainbow children fair-weather wankers!
Go and get stuffed!

Richmond crowds up 10,000, now biggest in AFL
Grant Baker
Herald-Sun
August 20, 2015
RICHMOND has shaded Collingwood to become the biggest draw in football this season with average crowds to Tigers games almost 10,000 up on 2014 figures.
The AFL’s overall average attendances are up — thanks mostly to the Richmond factor — despite 11 clubs playing in front of smaller crowds this year.
The league is unlikely to eclipse last year’s total home-and-away season crowd figure of 6.4 million attendances because of the abandoned Adelaide v Geelong match following the death of Crows coach Phil Walsh.
The figures, which include clubs’ home and away games, show Richmond’s remarkable rise. The Tigers average crowd in 2014 was a tick over 38,000 — it is now more than 48,000.
The club also has broken through the 70,000 member barrier this year, joining fellow MCG tenant giants Collingwood and Hawthorn.
Richmond chief executive Brendon Gale said the Tigers players — set for a second successive finals campaign — appreciated the turnouts.
“We enjoy fantastic support that we will never take for granted,” Gale told the Herald Sun. “Our players appreciate the fact they get to play in front of passionate Richmond fans all around Australia.”
The Western Bulldogs — widely lauded as the most exciting team to watch this year — have also enjoyed a large upturn in attendances, with average crowds approaching 27,000.
Crowds for Hawthorn and GWS matches are also significantly up.
The Champion Data figures show Essendon, Carlton and the Gold Coast Suns are significantly on the nose with fans this season.
Average attendance at AFL matches so far this season is 32,548 — just up from 32,333 in 2014.
AVERAGE CROWDS 2015
Adelaide 35,992 (-1364)
Brisbane Lions 20,715 (-668)

Great stuff from everyone involved, from the top right down to the little guy heading off to one or two games a year.
Why arn't we signing $3 million dollar naming rights deals though? What does M.E pay for the naming rights?

We should get Commonwealth Bank to sponsor Punt Road Oval. The colors are the same and they are the biggest in the banking field in Australia. CBA would be a great sponsor.

Why arn't we signing $3 million dollar naming rights deals though? What does M.E pay for the naming rights?
Doesn't matter now. But it was significant
ME Bank sponsorship ends at the end of this year (oct) and they advised the Club last year they wouldn't be renewing the deal
-
How accurate are these figures? GWS?
They're Home & Away figures combined. That's why GWS is 19k.
We're No.1 for Home crowds too at an average of 50k.

Even Pie fans are admitting it was a pro-Tiger crowd at their home game yesterday.
"There was about 63,000 at G today. It was a pro Tigers crowd at a Pies home game. Was sitting in the Olympic stand and it was chockers and bloody loud with Richmond folk. Looked over at the Ponsford stand and it was barely half full. Not just today but also last couple of games against Melbourne and Carlton."

Eddie was extremely salty about this all week and absolutely refused to believe it even when the figures were read out to him. Deal with it McGuire, ya knob.
MMM hot breakfast will make for good listening on Monday morning. Eddie vs Mick :lol
Yep. Reckon Mick will be in at 6 too :lol Granted that Mick does stir him up, Mick remains mostly jovial yet Eddie just doesn't do banter. Always has to make some really low statement. It's for people like him that I vow to never be humble when/if we have a Geelong/Hawthorn patch. Stuff em all ;D
Yep Collingwood paying equalisation funds to other clubs.
Richmond caused the player wars themselves stealing their players.
Blah blah blah.
Using the 7-8 year Bomber Thompson model you get to a flag in year 7-8 and sustain that.
This is Dimma's 6th year.
Payback will be swift and oh so good. ;D
Unrelenting, loud and satisfying. ;D
I'd love to see the Pies miss the finals for another 2-3 years maybe more just like in the 1990's and lets see where their membership lags.
It was 79K a few years ago back to 75K now. Will slip further.
Tiggers are the hottest ticket in town.
Will be proven again this season if we play a final in Melb just like in 2013 90K plus. Hopefully multiplies by 3-4 will make finals tickets as rare as hens teeth. :thumbsup

ed is an intolerable git in that program
mick is a gun :bow

Still No.1 :wavetowel
We need only a further 24k to break through the pne million attendance mark. So we'll smash it this weekend :thumbsup :gotigers.

We've cracked one million in attendances for this year :gotigers.
But thanks to the terrible weather last night and Bomber fans giving up going, we're now only 119 ahead of the Pies.

Would be pushing 60-70k if it was played where it should be played - our home ground - the 'G!

Lets hope they count the attendance at Coll V Ess after the 20min mark of the last quarter! If Gollywood are losing 90% of the crowd goes home .... :P

Can Tigers steal the Pies' No.1 crowd crown?
AFL.com.au
September 4, 2015
THE COMPETITION'S two biggest crowd pullers for 2015, Richmond and Collingwood, will go head to head in round 23 to earn a title the Magpies have held since 2004.
After 22 rounds, Richmond has attracted just 119 more fans to its games than Collingwood and will set Magpie fans a target in Friday night's clash at Etihad against North Melbourne.
The number of supporters who then turn up to Sunday's clash between Collingwood and Essendon will determine whether the Tigers or the Magpies have bragging rights for attracting the biggest home and away crowds for 2015.
The Tigers have not attracted more fans in the home and away season than the Magpies since 1982.
Collingwood, having attracted more than one million home and away fans once again for the 11th successive season (and 20 times in total) have not been topped for total home and away crowds since Essendon attracted more fans in 2004.
But Richmond has had a bumper season as it heads into its third consecutive finals series and only needs to attract more than 27,000 people against North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium on Friday night to eclipse its biggest season home and away attendance ever of 1,040,290 (set in 2013).
It is just 159,982 spectators away from having its biggest season attendance including finals in its history
The Tigers attracted more than a million people to home and away games in 1998 and in 2013, but slipped below that figure last season after a poor start.
The Tigers also attracted more than one million people to games involving their club when finals are included in 1972, 73, 80, 95 and 2001.
The average crowd between Richmond and North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium is 36,100 while Collingwood and Essendon clashes have averaged 73,541 people in home and away games at the MCG, with Anzac Day of course boosting that average figure.
Collingwood averaged crowds of 56,551 at the MCG this season while Richmond has averaged 54,215.
Richmond president Peggy O'Neal said ahead of the club's game against Fremantle in round 17 that the club's increased attendances and membership was a sign of great loyalty from its supporters.
"I don't understand why commentators keep insisting our fans are fickle. They are not. They prove their loyalty time and again," O'Neal said.

40,461 at Etihad last night.
That gives us a total H/A attendance of 1,054,354, which is a new record. The old record was 1,040,290 set in 2013.
We need Collingwood vs Essendon to get less than 40,580 on Sunday to remain No.1.
As for home crowds - thanks to being forced by the AFL to play our home game at Etihad and North's tanking, our average home crowds will now come in just under 50k (49,877). Which is our 3rd best behind 2013 & 1980.

40,270 attended Pies BS Bombers.
Looks like we win this one!
-
Sadly the pipped us according the AFL Website they got 42,270
-
well considering we had to play BS games like North Away at Hobart and North Home at Etihad, it's a fair effort to only go down by a little bit. If last saturday night v bombers wasn't pouring, would have been a much better crowd too.

This number is incorrect .
The official crowd from the mcg is 40270
-
If the AFL has put up the wrong number then its a disgrace. We have been robbed of our well deserved status as the No 1 club in the land.

The AFL website article has both figures:
As the sun set on the 2015 home and away season, a healthy crowd of 40,270 watched as Heath Hocking sealed the Bombers' first win since round 15 - 14.11 (95) to 14.8 (92)
Official crowd: 42,270 at the MCG.
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-09-06/dons-at-the-death-in-close-clash-with-pies
The second one looks to be a typo as the official MCG twitter feed has the 40,270 figure and this was apparently the figure shown on the scoreboard.
"Full time at the 'G: Collingwood 14.8 (92) defeated by Essendon 14.11 (95) by 3 points. Official attendance today is 40,270 #AFLPiesDons"

Patrick Keane, from the AFL on twitter, has confirmed the Pies vs Dons crowd was the lower 40,270.
"The reporter must have misheard the figure and filed an incorrect number. Crowd was 40,270 today."
