It was a sell-out but at a ground with a capacity of just 2.8k. I was almost burned that day, just happening to read mid-afternoon that tickets were almost exhausted and managing to get one just in time. Because of that I've just checked the WO capacity and am happy to read it is 10k. So there should be no repeat of that panic.
I'm sure it will get a bigger crowd that it would were the men's team not also in town for a fairly big game, but I'll be surprised if the crowd comes close to what we get at Henson. There were 5.5k there this afternoon, which is fairly typical. Not just a derby-inflated crowd. We won't know what the crowd would be at a fictitious Swans Lions game in Melbourne. I'm happy not to ever find out.
