When the Bombers have played Home and Away games of 92,000 plus against teams such as Hawthorn, Richmond and Melbourne then come and talk to me.

Yes thats nice, we have won one in the last 10 months. Have you? Please don't make me laugh about 2013. That is Gold. In reference to your comments re quality of supporters it is obvious why your crowd figures can't match Collingwood. We accept everyone. You seem to be rather elitist. Very sad.

Probably a few rugby trolls among them, but some of the comments are a tad vehement.

Biased and clearly ignorant statement.
When Collingwood sit in the bottom 4 and Carlton or Essendon in the top 4, the crowd figures will be reflected accordingly, or maybe I just don't understand your interpretation of "always"
Then again you may just think that Collingwood will "never" have a look at the bottom end of the ladder again.
Have a think about it.
Total patronage for all AFL games will be a record this year.
The averages though will be down.

Richmond were similar this year with a very young list.
I think we kicked 6 to 2 against the Pies in the 3rd but got blown away like Essendon in the last quarter.
We started to play some really good football after the 3 openers.
Then we hit a patch and the Richmond I don't like came out.
I don't know if it's players getting tired or confidence.

Richmond first with a million through the gates in a year.
Wait till theTiger army get up.
Shit ,we've given the other big clubs 30 years headstart FFS.
Just bloody wait when we start getting up there.
And we actually make noise.

The very pleasing thing is to see the GC Suns ave over 22,000 a game in their first season.
BTW even if the overall crowds are down slightly this season NO other footy comp comes anywhere near the AFL!
I dont think the AFL would be losing any sleep over the totals just yet!

If it's elitist to say that Collingwood is a bogan magnet then I guess I'm elitist.
But of course you're getting huge crowds - the Pies have a massive fan base and have been performing very well for the past few years, including multiple grand final appearances. If anything it's an underwhelming result.
The Bombers, on the other hand, have been very average for a decade, at best we'll finish 8th this year and yet we're sitting at #2 on the crowd tally.
- Banned
- #488
only because Collingwood were playing at Victoria Park, Carlton at Princes Park and Essendon at Windy Hill while Richmond were playing at the MCG. Richmond can't get near these since they all moved to the same ground.

Aah I think the win/loss ratio of the last 30 years has a big say in that mate.

And to use your words 'Collingwood have only won 2 flags in the last 50 years'
Imagine how big we would be if we had won 6. Collingwood The Crowd KINGS.
The Suns have averaged 19,487 this season. That was boosted by two large crowds at the GABBA. At Metricon, their average is 18,309.
Thats not bad, given they are amongst the cellar dwellars and have copped some fearful hidings. Better than the Titans.

Only if you include finals. Home and away Collingwood were there 6 years before you.
Number of times drawing a million in a home and away season:
Richmond: 1
Collingwood: 15
BTW, Collingwood still drew over a million in a year in which we finished 15th, coming off a bottom 4 finish the previous year. And we outdrew Richmond the last time you made the top 4 (2001), despite it being officially the worst period in Collingwood's history.
But keep telling yourself that you're bigger, it probably helps dull the pain.

When you had home games at the MCG while the other big clubs were still at their traditional home grounds with 30k capacities.
Really all your post shows is that your mob aren't the big passionate supporter base they're always made out to be, rather just a bunch of bandwagoners who only jump on board when the goings good.

Pfffft, one of the reasons given for sacking Knights was financial haemorrhaging due to falling crowds. Essendon supporters wouldn't know the meaning of hardship.

Someone has their figures for GC wrong then!
BTW Sydney ,Brisbane, West Coast,Adelaide and Port Adelaide are all down and would be having a pretty negative effect on the overall crowd numbers.
.
Because of the humiliation you lot dished out to them they wouldnt show up again
We can provide 60-65,000 people but some supporters from the opposition actually have to show up to get a big crowd and the Bombers fans stayed away in their droves
Would love to have seen the crowd for Carlton v Essendon if it was the week after we belted them, on the other hand if Essendon had beaten Carlton then there would have been 90,000 there
Its such a shame that the last time the 2 teams met late in the year with massive implications on the result it was when the MCG was missing a stand
I was talking about home averages. How is an AAMI Stadium or Patersons Stadium crowd relevant to GC when they get about 6 of their own supporters along? Their home averages are 19k - that is the only meaningful point of comparison.
The home averages for all clubs are as follows -

Sorry about the formatting but the info's there.
I think these are really good numbers considering that their home ground can only hold 24-25 K. The AFL average crowd per game last year was about 37K so it is no suprise that the averages are down a little bit, due to the introduction of a ground that only holds 25K. An interesting thing to do would be to remove the Gold Coast games and compare the average attendences with last year. I would suggest that it would be very close or even exceed the 37K mark. Sorry if this has been suggested before it was a lot of pages to read through.
removed Gold Coast home games: AFL average attendances: 36755
removed All Gold Coast games: AFL average attendances: 37439
2010 Home and Away averages : 36901
With out the Gold Coast the AFL average attenances would be up 1.5%
The teams that were in the competition last year have overall increased their average crowd numbers.
