1:10pm on a Sunday does not help and neither does the forecast which predicted rain.
Had the game been scheduled at 3:15pm given that by then ppl may have has confidence in the weather and families may have had their late breaks or lunch we may have had another 5 to 10K rock up. Still given the only option to see a game in Melbourne this weekend was either St Kilda v Port or our game the crowd still fell well short of the 52K predicted during the week.
40K though at the G v Freo is still very good. 
No doubt it's still a good crowd Tucky and I'm guessing the biggest of the round. It would have just been nice to be nearer the 50k prediction so we could have told the AFL that all our home games should be at the 'G.
What was the crowd on Friday night?
Still 40k on a cold day was a good crowd against a low drawing interstate team that clogs the footy.
Given we got 43k last year on a Saturday arvo against Freo on a wet and cold day last year suggests to me the Sunday 1:10 PM time slot is one that the RFC faithful probably don't like.
I'll see the Tigers wherever and however but give me Sunday 3:15pm or twilight, Friday night or Saturday footy rather than the time slot we played at today.
