I'd have thought at least four to five thousand would have gone to the ground. After all, there was only two matches on the day.

No way on a day like that and given the lead in form of the two teams.



Crap day and EF looking at getting a hiding would never pull many..

Exactly. i no longer go due to the crap performance of EF...stupidly, I went to the previous derby at ef this year with a couple of neighbors of mine. We know what happened there.
This time one of them was asking me if i want to go with him again. Yeah right.I was not keen and in the end he agreed probably not a good idea.

At 4.30pm he came and gave me a beer as a thank you for saving him from wasting his life!!


fine day maybe 5000.

That there is probably a great example of why the crowds have diminished.

Of course there are a number of reasons for low crowds, however the lopsided results and the predictability of them will certainly keep people away.
Not even the greatest optimist could have suggested - gee it's a Fremantle derby, always a chance of a boilover. Not a chance of that happening in this one, or the next one either.
