Message to the MCC - 25 years of crap and we still bring the crowds through the gates. 2nd highest home attendances and if you took off the ANZAC game crowd which inflates the Pies and Bombers figures, we'd be pushing for top possie.

Wouldn't it be fantastic if we could sell out the Dome vs the Swans and keep the average over 50k

Would be better if we could play at our home ground which has a capacity far greater than 50k and where interstate sides traditionally find it harder to win there :thumbsup. We're playing at the Dome while Melbourne hosts Freo at the 'G where you'll be lucky if 15,000 turn up ???.

Only 32,000 at a Carl v Ess match. A couple of poor years and their fans drop off whereas after 25 years we still stick by our Tiges :thumbsup.

That is a point I've been making today mightytiges. 32,000 is pathetic. Pure pathetic.
I get slagged off at work etc for saying it but i am convinced that we are a bigger club than Essendon. For that matter so are carlton. Essendon will implode when Sheedy goes.

The Bombers might have more members and supporters but ours are more loyal (he says with bias) :thumbsup. When they were last crap for a long period in the 70's no one wanted to them and you would only find Essendon supporters on the Broady line. We were a bigger club than them then but 25 years of being pathetic has done us damage in the big club stakes.
