Tickets going for Terry Wallace farewell
Matt Windley | June 05, 2009
THE AFL is expecting more than 40,000 fans for Terry Wallace's last match in charge of Richmond at Etihad Stadium tonight.
AFL spokesman Patrick Keane said that based on sales to date, there would be tickets available at the gate.
The last time the teams met at Docklands, a draw in Round 5 last year, the crowd was 37,767.
On that occasion Bulldog defender Brian Lake famously "cramped" after taking a mark 45m out, leaving Will Minson to kick the equalising goal with only seconds remaining.
Keane said the rate of sales had not increased after Monday's announcement about Wallace's future.
TAB Sportsbet's Gary Davies said punters hadn't jumped on the bandwagon.
"We did bring them (Richmond) into $3.75 earlier in the week but we didn't have heaps of supporters jumping on so we've gone back to $4 and (Bulldogs) $1.22," he said.
