Guess The Crowd; Norf vs Saints Very Good Friday Footy!

Post: # 1715436Post saintspremiers »

33,787

At last! We have something to do and on one of normally the most boring days of the year.

Sadly, the crowd will be shyte - cricket has stolen any PR we may have had, plus Saints fans don’t
bother much with away games.

Last year we had 26K on a Friday night for Norf vs Us

We really need 40K to get a gig next year IMO

Around 35k

No doubt it would be higher if we were playing the Doggies, which will probably happen next year.

Last years crowd was 42k
Lets hope we can help match that figure .


If we don't then I think our chances of playing next year on good Friday we be greatly diminished.

Not really a fair comparison. Last year's game featured the reigning premiers and a finalist from the year before.

Anything over 30k is good result given the weather forecast for the Easter weekend.

You make some good points

But the reason we never get any marquee games is because none of our fans turn up .
That afl fat cats get million dollar bonuses by ensuring crowd figures at a certain level each year . A small crowd at this game just shows them that we are not worthy of such marquee games.

I hate to say it but crowd might be fairly small. We are not a lock for the 8, North are wooden spoons contenders so not a lot of interest in the game except for our fans plus families will be away for Easter.
I'll be there however as it may be one of the only large wins we have this year.

Given there’s absolutely sweet F**k all to do on Good Friday I’m guessing a half decent turn out tomorrow..... 43k.

I’ll be there, the club really needs this fixture... We need as much red, white and black in the crowd as possible.

we need to be looking to get up around the 40,000 to try and ensure a repeat next year- they had around 47,000 last year

maybe 14 people will show up.

It is Norf after all.
