1980 is still our record year when we averaged home crowds of 50,864. Last year we averaged 42,784.

Could be better. Our crowd against WC was 10,000 down because these 10,000 tiger supporters don't love the club enough to drive an extra 5km to Etihad. Probably should be 55,000 average home for home games

[tony_montana]

Our highest ever season average of home attendances is 50k in 1980

Win bigger games = more people!

[Phil Mrakov]

Look at Carlton.. Would rather pay to go to matches than buy memberships..

Idiots who don't sign up.

Why is Essendumb's so low?

Will go well into the 60's once we are killing it.

people didn't show because it was Sunday night.

and I think this was the reason for alot of people not going to that game the fact that it was at etihad didn't have as much an effect on those crowd numbers against westcoke. Families don't like Sunday night games IMO.

Some just prefer to pay cash - untraceable

Sunday night?

the game started at 3.15pm and was over by 6.00pm don't think that can be classified as being at "night"

Carlton's stats are helped by the fact they played Collingwood in a blockbuster in their first home game and followed up with Essendon in their next home game a week later.

Collingwood got 57K against us and were the home team on Anzac Day.

Essendon's chance comes this week being a home team against us.

We win this week and we can boost our home gate with a big crowd against Hawthorn next week.

Our supporters need to show up to away games. The crowd against Pies in Round 2 was very disappointing. You'd expect a game like this so early in the season to attract 70,000 at the very least. 10,000 tigers jump off the bandwagon after 1 loss. Lack of passion and excitement to be at the game
