I've got some stats for you Teffy:
74% of your posts contradict previous posts.
Of the remaining 26%, 94% of those do not make any sense.
As soon as you admitted that you made up those figures 100% of readers realised that as they suspected all along, this is a troll.
You can claim innocence all you want and go round in circles forever but sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken.
Easy to claim no troll when you keep changing the rules, shifting the goalposts, and generally flip flopping your way towards the egg that is coming quickly at your face.
Hawthorn will bet more people to Aurora stadium vs Port than half your sunday suppers at etihad.

Ess and coll carry the whole league, not sure where Teffy is coming from by including Essendon.

Impressively, and in contrast to these four, North seem to be immune to any increase in attendances, regardless of performance.aka the REAL "Big 4"
Adelaide
Collingwood
Fremantle
West Coast
That is all, thanks for coming.

Firstly West Coast and Freo have a 40,000 capacity oval which they can sell out even in bad times. So you can't really notice any fluctuations.
And Adelaide crowds have dropped of significantly over the last 2 years.
As for the Vic clubs:
Richmond have had a consistently high home average since 1995, with 2002 the only year that dipped a bit.

There is even less deviation if you look at all games:

Again consistently high since 1995, despite being shithouse. If you think Richmond's crowds drop when they're struggling they are going to be massive when they're up and about.
It's kind of hard to analyse Richmond's though as there isn't really any "good times" to compare it too.
Carlton experienced a dip following the salary cap cheating and a surge following the Judd arrival. So you may have a point there. Despite that they still have had very strong crowd numbers since the early-mid 90's, and decent numbers in 06/07. They've just exploded over the last 4 years.

Collingwood dived a fair bit 04/05 so i'll pay that. Having said that 41,000 in bad times is hardly a concern.

Essendon have been consistently high since 1993:

http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ta-essendon-bombers?t=R&h=H
Their lowest ebb was 2006 but even then it wasn't a sharp drop off. Their average's since 2005 stack up against the far more successful 2002-04.
Hawthorn did drop around 03-05 and have exploded a bit around 07/08.
The rest have consistently low crowds anyway so I won't bother there.

I'm not a North basher by any stretch, but this did elicit a good chuckle.
Essendon and Carlton are surely in the mix of the big 5, Fremantle are certainly not apart of that

I haven't read much of this thread, but I could imagine it would be full of Richmond supporters trying to justfy their place as a "big" club.
I don't think anybody considers Richmond a big club, besides Richmond supporters.

I consider us big because we draw decent crowds despite being pitful for 29 years now. I couldn't care though, i'd rather be small and succesful than big and failures

Every single club are going to have lower attendances when they are at the bottom nobody is immune. So a pointless topic.
But this thread is designed to get underneath the skin of Richmond supporters. We are not a big 4 club get over it. But the supporters the club does have are incredibly loyal and passionate. If north had 30 years in the wilderness they would be playing all their games at Blundstone oval and probably have 35 people show up.
