Attendance Stats

ThePope · Sep 1, 2003

I'm sure that they'll appear on Footystats Diary soon, but a few interesting things about this years attendance stats (and yes I know the MCG redevelopment might skew some of them).

In order of Home attendance (include home games sold to other states)

Code:

Collingwood   551364
Adelaide      489765
Essendon      479099
West Coast    418847
Richmond      391933
Sydney        365181
Port Adelaide 350296
Brisbane      348892
Fremantle	     337486
Hawthorn	     326450
Kangaroos     322218
St Kilda      321393
Melbourne     307459
Carlton       301824
Geelong       285685
Bulldogs      275428

Interesting items:
Port #7 at home, but #16 away puts them #14 overall. I guess despite them being the top team, noone else wants to watch them.
Freo have climbed to #9 home, but still only #14 away and #12 total.
Carlton's poor season and 8 games at Optus put them #14 for home attendance... only ahead of the Dogs and Geelong.
Despite Richmonds poor season, they still had a good following... the bandwagon mustn't have broken down yet!

Pope,

You being the super stats man, see if you can work out a percentage (this would be difficult) for some of the clubs in regards to attendence Vs ground capacity.

ie. Freo avg 30680 per game / Subi ground capacity 43000 = 71% capacity every game

Thats a damn good idea, I'm sure we aren't the only 2 who would like to see something of that ilk.

sportsfan7 · Sep 1, 2003

How do you do the calculation for clubs that use multiple grounds (like all Vic clubs plus Sydney) ???

PrideofSA · Sep 1, 2003

It's hard to judge that list as the interstate teams play a team from interstate 11 out of 12 times (brisbane and sydney not at all) so the opposition have less supporters than they would 2 melb or 2 adelaide teams played...melb teams play eachother more often coz there is more of them lifting the crowd.....but u could also argue that coz there is 10 teams in melb it leaves less supporters per club.

Any comments Grayham on sydney in relation to Collingwoods massive appeal? For a team that operates in a ten team town, compared to a team that has 3.8 mill people to draw from, then your teams result crowd wise are not stacking up as the crowd pullers you seem to say they are.

Perhaps the cost of living in sydney is too much to go to the footy.
What with the theatre and all to choose from.

2 points I'm sure you dont want to hear.
1) Since Sydney doesnt have a derby, its only fair to compare non-derby games in any comparison that involves Sydney. That removes all the Anzac day, queens birthday, etc games.
2) Sydney is an 11 team town. 12 teams during the super 12 season. Most, no all, of the time we spank those.

Based on Grayham's stats, those figures are obviously wrong. Or else all those supporters who attended COllingwood and Essendon games were Sydney fans.

You need to stop talking, and start reading. You can read?

You need to stop posting at the same time as me and wait your turn.

A little bit precious arent we?

Damn the MCG reconstruction, we could have picked up that record with a full sized stadium to fill. 50,000 short!!!

What is it with the constant bandwagon label.

No success for past 20 odd years however we still manage to pull a reasonable crowd.

MarkT · Sep 2, 2003

Adelaide need a bigger stadium.

morgoth · Sep 2, 2003

We should demand compensation from the MCC, AFL and State Government from cutting our numbers. Standard practice you disrupt your tenant's business you compensate.

Bet the AFL still rips money out of us via equalisation.

Don't confuse opposition supporters turning up with your own drawing power. Expect figures similar to other mid range vic clubs next year with no guaranteed dates against the real drawing clubs in Vic.

i always knew collingwood was a common club for the common supporter.

if it makes you pie supporters sleep better at night, knowing you arent alone, im happy for you.

by the way, who gives how many go to such & such games - "collingwood the big crowd pullers...." - how insecure are pie supporters? really!!

They used to play all of their home games out of the MCG too.
Play most of their home games at the REDUCED sized Docklands!

Might account for something, dont ya think?

You'd have to ask them why they did that

Looking forward to the new reconstructed MCG in 2006 myself where we will smash all the crowd records.
