12,000 lower than G Taylor's KPI. A spectacular failure.

Yes that's correct, fine weather would have seen the number well over 20k but was never going to get anywhere near the WAFC tossers expected 30k. Crowd was pro Subi or maybe anti Freo, but a fairly big contingent in the purple to cheer their big contingent of AFL boys along.

But timing was against me, my annual subscription to Be my Bitch dating site was up for renewal and it's the only way I get to feel the power Subi supporters are used to.

Guess what this shows is do a bit of prom9tion get the mix right and you can still get a crowd.

From the bom.com.au site 4.6 mm have been recorded for Perth since 9.00 this morning. From 2.39 pm this afternoon 04 mm has been recorded.

Precisely, so at the critical time people make up their mind to attend or not, around noon or so it was shitehouse, by the time it cleared up it was way to late, not to mention a bad forecast, so to get 18 k was quite remarkable , i tipped way less than that, and it was obvious from the tv the crowd was there albeit in shelter, given less than 20k watched ep v wp a few years ago also shit weather..,two dull as shit teams like subi v peel pulling 18 k plus is a miracle in shit weather, as fof 30k any hope of that dissappeared the minute peel got in and the forecast was rain,

Like I say maybe the Wafc can learn fo promote future Gfs, fuck off fhe alignment , clean out the Subi cash rort amd we might get some people back, i fear though the damage is done.

bazza: all they have to do is run an ad each week on a thursday and friday night on sue's television and they will get a few people back. Traditionally, they have not wantted to do it because they have thrown in their lot with the AFL. Channel 7 seems to be a little bit less hostile to the WAFL since they go the rights.

Exactly, wafc wont promote anything that might risk familes not going to dockers or eagles, if they promote a low cost family day out an easy drive from home people might acfualy take it up and give the afl up.

Yes,good pisstake.Total Bullshit,But I'd sooner that package to anything Centrelink City and "friends" have to offer.Marty has us reaching for the sky,even if we're still at the Arse end of the WAFL scene.

I know you wouldn't find it funny you can't get the salt out of your eyes.
