afl need to start letting pets in.........
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Actually last Friday nights crowd was poor as well

For two Melb based teams with a combined Melb membership base of 110k+ To only get 66k is poor

Friday night, massive game 66k is poor

The loss to Fremantle cost at least 20k I reckon.

If it was a tiger home game another 10k would have shown up. Hawthorn just don't draw that well. Many neutrals go to Hawthorn Geelong games because they are usually close and entertaining.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

that's right doc, they don't draw well coz they're a crap club wanting to be like us but they can never be like us because we are working class yellow and black and they are just upper class scum. that's the reality doc. just upper class scum from the east. that's all they are and all they ever will be  :snidegrin

What does it matter that it wasn't our home game?

Why didn't more of ours turn up. Fair few folks have 16 game or 17 game memberships

Several reasons, hawthorn sell 70k memberships to less than 50k people. Most richmond memberships are 11 home gamers/reserved seats. That's 10k right there I woulda thought.

My dog too, (free dog mat  :bow, shout of to my boy WP)

But it doesn't go towards the membership total. In Richmond's case, at least

Every club sells pet memberships these day

Tigers been doing it for over 10 years

My 3 are signed up.

No pet memberships numbers are included membership totals these days. Again haven't been for years

The pee&poo family club didn't even show up for a home game after dominating the comp in successive weeks not to mention back to back premierships. If success cant get them off the couch what will?
If we ever achieve back to back premierships again :pray it'll be standing room only for most games.
This mob are fakers and I cant wait till the wheels fall off and they'll be wondering where all their supporters have gone, well probably signed up as yellow & black members but we don't want your fickle support you bunch of frontrunner rainbow children fair-weather wankers!
Go and get stuffed!
The club that keeps giving.
