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.
totally agree! Personally I wont go to any Collingwood game, purely because I hate them so much! >:( As for other away games, maybe some of us are the only Tiger tragics in the home, I have my membership but I also have other commitments, we all do what we can :gotigers

While the side didn't turn up to play, credit to our supporters for turning up in large numbers once again. It was the 6th largest ever H/A attendance against Fremantle.

R1   2003    45,436    vs Adel @ AAMI
R1   2008    45,383    vs Coll @ MCG
R10 2007    44,480    vs Coll @ MCG
R13 2009    44,114    vs Coll @ MCG
R7   2002    44,058    vs Adel @ AAMI
R11 2011    43,801    vs Rich @ MCG
R21 2006    43,527    vs WCE @ Subiaco .... biggest WA derby crowd ever

And on such a crap day that's an excellent turnout that speaks volumes of the size and quality of our supporter base.   :clapping

true but we all can see the culture is changing.
Hopefully all the postives from this year will help the teams belief,  winning mentality and culture that  makes them better for next years season and beyond. 
The club that keeps giving.

Our home crowd average will take a bit of a hit this week given we're playing in Cairns in a 10k 'stadium' but up to now we still have the 3rd highest home crowds  :thumbsup.

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.

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.

No great surprise with drop in crowds

Had to laugh in yesterday's HUN when Patrick Keane from the AFL said about the drop "we were expecting it"
