Crowd Watch Mk 3

[Cumberland Throw]

On a positive note it seems the afl fans have decided they would rather sit in the nose bleeds

Rather than be fisted for $120 bucks

Greedy greedy pricks

I don't hate the game it's ok

I just don't f**kin trust those slimy merkins

 

[Chook Norris]

looks like 25-27 at AAMI - better than I thought

this thing should've easily sold out. disappointing..... more great marketing from the folks at the NRL

Agreed and it is not the Storm's fault.

 

[ash the bash]

On the bright side the corporate areas look well occupied.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Strategic audio though, atmosphere sounds alright..

 

[miguel de cervantes]

Decent effort from the storm. You can't say league hasn't come on in Melbourne since 10 years ago re/ stadium and crowds.

 

[Saint Doc]

The crowd are lovely it! Very vocal and passionate

25,543 @ aami

 

[ME SO HORNBY!]

Good effort Melbourne

 

[Neatoboy]

Good effort Melbourne

Agreed. A bit disappointing that it wasn't a full house but a good crowd none-the-less.

 

[DIOGENES]

Assuming 82.5 k next week, 75,000 needed tomorrow for record average and aggregate.

 

[Wilson1]

That's all right. Still reckon they could have got more had it been played at Etihad.

 

[Clifferd]

Good effort. Remember Manly would of had no more than 2,000 fans there, and their dorky stick insect team was playing on TV

 

[Saint Doc]

Wow that crowd noise at the end was as good as you will hear!

 

[Son of Minto]

It sounded fantastic. Great effort tonight from the Storm fans.

Based on what? Anyway i'd rather the game be in a packed Aami and look and sound incredible and look empty in a cavernous AFL ground. We should avoid playing at any AFL grounds if at all possible, it ruins the spectacle.

The storm probably should have been in there signing members for next year. Now is the time to really try and push memberships for next year.

 

[Trentosaurus]

I don't think the crowd figures really matter for that game. They were loud and passionate and it looked good on TV. Who cares if Etihad might have fit in a few more fans?

57K at the Boggerball game according to Sydney Olympic Park on Twitter.

Gees that's surprising. It looked more to be honest.

Really? Any source you listened to on radio or tv was predicting 70K+. So after all this doom and gloom about AFL taking over it isn't even as big as crowds they have had in the regular season. Also considering collingwoods away support i dare say the storm brought almost as many fans as the swans.

The crowd did look like more than that so i will wait for another source though.
