Richmond vs Port - Round 23

[Penelope]

if only 25k turn up, which i think means a loss for the club, then people shouldnt whine when the corresponding fixture gets moved back to docklands

And we would make a greater loss financially at Docklands as only 20k would turn up.

isnt 20k, the break even figure for docklands?
whatever it is it is substantially lower than the MCG.

Bottom line is people moan and groan about not wanting to go to docklands, but then when the club gets these games to the MCG as the supporters wish, then they should turn out in force and create a cauldron like atmosphere.


They should do that at docklands anyway, but all clubs have fair weather supporters.

Get on board were gunna win by a 100 and jack will kick 11 goals.

this maybe a stupid question but how does the MCC make money if a good portion that come to games are paid up members.

1/ MCG receive a fee for every member that shows up, whether that be Club or AFL members

2/ and most importantly Reserve seat sales on memberships - clubs have to pay that cost back the MCC, they don't make a cent on reserve seat attached to memberships

Sunday will be only the 4th time since Port entered the AFL in 1997 that we've played them at the 'G. The last time we played Port at our home ground was 5 years ago and the time before that was way back in 1998  .

If we were on top of the ladder we would make all other team's crowds look like Nought Melbun crowds.
Tiger clan aint nuttin to stuff with.

Yep, we got the best bandwagon fans. People were coming out of nowhere in 2005 when it looked like we were gonna poo on people.

I stayed inside. Was a bit cold most games.
