Didn't see a thread on this already, (please delete if there is one) but just to let everyone know Collingwood have set the new Home attendance record, which was set by Essendon in 1999.......
They got 45,570 vs Sydney last night at the TD (should've been at the MCG), so here is the top 5....

Home attendances
1. Collingwood- 651,375 (59,215) 2008
2. Essendon- 630,399 (57,309) 1999
3. Collingwood- 603,881 (54,898) 2007
4. Essendon- 603,830 (54,893) 1998
5. Collingwood- 581,718 (52,883) 2006
They'll also set the 2nd highest Away attendance record, currently sitting on an 56,084 average with the Freo match left to play, that game should attract between 32-35k so they'll fall short of last years record.
Away Attendances
1. Collingwood- 622,723 (56,611) 2007
2. Collingwood- 560,846 (56,084) 2008
3. Collingwood- 583,264 (53,024) 2006
4. Carlton- 576,275 (52,388) 2008
5. Essendon- 575,466 (52,315) 2000
Carlton slot into 4th spot after their impressive 34k against Brisbane, just pipping Essendons 2000 away average.
For the season, Collingwood will also take out the new H/A season attendance record, unless a hail storm hits Perth this coming weekend and <13,000 turn up.
Here is the current table:
1. Collingwood- 1,214,190 (57,819) 2008 (1 game to play)
2. Collingwood- 1,226,604 (55,754) 2007
3. Essendon- 1,169,551 (53,161) 1998
4. Collingwood- 1,164,982 (52,953) 2006
5. Essendon- 1,124,805 (51,127) 2001
We're also set to break the all time h/a season attendance record set last year (6,475,521 at an av. of 36,793).
The season total and average currently sits at (at the end of Rnd 20):
Total: 5,984,026
Average: 37,400
