Outnumbered Essendon?

[The Zebra]

I am sure we did.

I used to respect those *****, but they have proven to be the biggest front running supporters in the league.

Our crowds may be small, but at least we are consistent.

 

[Twinkletoes]

We certainly held our own tonight. The noise was full on in the last quarter.

 

[snrub]

Yeah you can usually count on a 40,000+ crowd vs Essendon regardless of the time or day. Tonight they have cost us money.

 

[BoomerBrownlow_29]

Noise was fantastic from the North supporters tonight - was sitting on the wing, and can say there were far more Kangaroos in the ground than Bombers.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

watching on tv there was near on nothing in the way of essendon supporters. About 4 people in their cheer squad.

 

[Benno_900]

I think they easily outnumbered on us on level 3 but we were definitely louder.

 

[robaba]

Get your hands off it guys, there were plenty of Scum supporters at the ground,
maybe more then us.

Nup.

 

[theboxmike]

Probably because we are playing terrible ATM and big controversy with Knights ect .....

(I hope you guys don't mind opposition posters on your board.)

Not at all dude, as long as you follow the board rules . Youre not breaking any rules so make yourself welcome.

 

[Roos4eva]

Thought it was 50/50 (perhaps slightly in our favour), but we were louder by a good few decibels.

 

[The Other Dean]

I haven't heard groaning that loud since the last time I watched a Cytherea flick*.

*last night

LOL. I wish she was there. The wet conditions would have suited us as it did the week previous against the Tigers.

 

[grimface_87]

Definitely more North than Essendon last night

 

[ManWithNoName]

Definitely more North than Essendon last night

Well you'd hope so given it was your home game...

Whole crowd was disappointing last night IMO. It was a tight game for most of the night yet there wasn't much noise from either set of supporters. I rememberthe days when these games would draw 70k at the G.

Well that hasnt always been the case...

Yes was thinking that last night also, even filled the Dome round 1 a few years ago... shows a fair percentage of fans are not keen to hang around for the rebuilding years.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

About the 15K of us that come just about every week, broke even at least - and there was plenty of noise from where I was sitting. I'd say a disappointing Essendon crowd but I wasn't surprised given their form, between protesters and bandwagonners their crowds have dropped off badly. Hope we get that jumper thing sorted for home games from next year, at least Pies come rain or shine.

That game when Thommo kicked the winner late in the game at the Dome in 2005 attracted 33K. That was the year Collingwood 'achieved' priority picks.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

North "supporters" make me sick.

I know it applies to none of you on here but why is it ok for most to turn up on a Saturday night against Essendon or Collingwood or a Friday against Carlton but where the **** are they when we need them against Freo or Port on a Sunday.

Not good enough!!!

 

[brad]

Didn't go and not upset about it either (even though we won).

After last year (with the disgusting game dished up and the fact it's ALWAYS your home game) I won't ever go to an away game vs you again.

I travel interstate (often watching us lose) and attend all the other away games here in Melbourne but won't be a statistic or pay $$$$ for your mob.

I know many others feel the same.

30K eh we were only 3K short of that last week against West Coast.

There'll be 45K + next week at our home game against Saints, 70K+ following two weeks against Blues and Pies at the G (both our home games too).

I agree you guys get a terrible run with fixturing.

I dont know why the AFL don't schedule 22 Essendon Home games against top drawing Melbourne sides at the G every year, IMHO it is the biggest travesty in our game today. God knows why the AFL haven't given them Good Friday yet either, that is the second biggest travesty.

 

[whats_at_stake]

I doubt we were outnumbered but certainly you guys would be louder. Even Freo's cheersquad drown our supporters.

So basically, you're not really an Essendon supporter as much as an anti North supporter?

What a w***er.

Thats because of the farcial ticketing setup that your club employs for home matches. Everytime a North game is on tv nobody is sitting behind the goals, it looks ridiculous, make that area gen admission.

I reckon the crowd was 50/50. Didnt look to be many North fans on the medallion club side of the ground.

We've tried to fix that - blame Collo.
