Actually EF did play Anzac Day but against Peel so not much chance there.

Or was that on another Friday? Better check.

No, Good Friday it was.

But anyway, it will all even out a little over the course of the season and hopefully we can stay above 2013 and maybe increase it a little.

By the way, it's pointless bagging the attendance figures in the hope that the WAFC will change their mind about the alignment.

The people who orchestrated the alignment don't care about the WAFL attendance figures.

The only thing that will change their minds is if WCE and FD perform poorly in the AFL.

Can't work miracles without proper and constant promotion though.

Constant promotion being the key words LA - the promos for the long weekend round was great and it worked as the crowds were good but then they take their foot off the pedal and the numbers will be average again from here on in ?

Geez 11 rounds in and East Perth are still the most watched WAFL club in the country.

It just depends if they are home or away for EP they have all been away. I have noticed a big drop however in home numbers at our games but our supporter base still travels away in reasonable numbers. Is it worrying for the league as a whole that East Perth has the highest attendance this year even though hundreds if not thousands have jumped off. For me this makes no sense at all.

I'm inclined to agree with this, these figures include all the big games of the year, also jun days, the stats are weighted in their favour,,,

Mate, I'm telling you with the exception of foundation day. I have never seen south games for friggen empty..

I'd imagine the back half of the season to taper off even more, once dockers fever takes hold again , the local. Clubs are fucked,,,only positive is eagles are a non factor again this season,,shit if they started pumping it would be curtains,

Subi crowds are way up. Shame about Souths though.

Noticed 9,943 is the total attendance figures from round 11. Have been keeping an eye on attendances and the total numbers at the completion of round 11 has just nudged ahead of last season at the corresponding time. But the total crowd numbers for last season were well down. Attendances for the second half of the season could likely drop further as the weather is now colder.
