Nah - one game on Friday and one Monday , 2 Saturday is the way to go.

I see in today's West that Peel want another Good Friday game.

Only 1596 at Basso on the weekend between SD & Perth. Surely this is incorrect?

The figure doesnt look like it was guessed at due to the number. I always get suspect when a round figure like 1500,2000 etc etc.
I suspect the number could be the actual gate takings as They do mark off a sheet as each person enters. Now we have the Kids who get in free and a lot of blow ins including the Free list and the people who come in at Half time where there is no entry fee.

I have quite often seen the crowd figures given in the SUNDAY TIMES with disbelief as I know there were more than the number given at the game. I suspect that that figure is given by a reporter or another source at the game who gives a rough equivalent as the Official crowd figures would be unavailable.

Like umpires Rock it is just something we will have to put up with

TheRock it was an extremely disappointing attendance for the game. A good gauge is the outer bar and it wasn't any where near capacity. Normally we have a good attendance for the Perth matches and you would have expected a similar turnout last week especially given Perth's good start to the season.

With respect to the game tomorrow I am not particularly confident that it will be well attended given that it is the ABC game and neither Souths or us are travelling too well at the moment. Hopefully, however the Swans' supporters will realise that it is a big game for us and will get behind the boys on Saturday.

Mate judging by the piss poor turnout at freo oval last friday night, and our form and being on a saturday after a dockers ( a lot will be at subi the night before and dont do two games a weekend) game plus being on ABC, that with the travel factor to basso- there will be F all south crew there.

hopefully you can crack 2000.

btw - who was the rocket scientist that planned a friday night game the same night as freo take on essendon?

They may be trying to set a record low for a WAFL match! They may succeed given
1. Dockers match
2. Lousy weather
3. Clubs with not the biggest supporter bases

Mikeh yep , I agree mate it's amazingly insane.

Yes it was the Subiaco Football Club that asked to experiment with a game tonight.

Am I hearing things? Surely the attendance was more than 500 people for the Claremont v's Subiaco match this evening? How can that be? Perhaps they meant 5,000 attended and forgot to put the extra 0 on the end of the total?
Maybe I need new batteries in my hearing aids?
