Tue 28 Jun, 2011The mighty support Richmond receives from its “19th man” - the Tiger Army - is reflected in the crowd figures after 14 rounds of the 2011 season . . .
In seven home games to date, the Tigers have attracted a combined attendance figure of 332,916, at an average of 47,559 per game.
They are ranked No. 2 in the competition for home-game totals (behind Carlton), and No. 4 overall for average home crowds (behind Collingwood, Carlton and Essendon).
For the entire 2010 season, Richmond’s home-game total crowd figure was 411,969, at an average of 37,452 per game.
