Pathetic crowd of only 20K
Reckon of the 20K nearly 5K were Eagles fans.
Where the heck are our fans?
Saturday night - great time slot and we have won 4 games this year - not hopeless yet!
What an insipid bunch of fair weather fans we have.
Pies play a useless Carlton and get 69er thousand!

Saints supporters would rather stay home and nit-pick their club, it would appear.

Re: Pathetic crowd of only 20K
I'm surprised because I thought this was a really winnable game & expected 30 plus but writing was on the wall at quarter time out coached again really needed to make an early impact but same ol same ol slow start playing catch up all day no wonder people stay home.

I think it’s just a reflection that there’s not a strong belief in the current direction.

Re: Pathetic crowd of only 20K
I think the Saints supporters have finally had enough of the the clubs incompetence and are showing that by staying home and watching the game on Fox.
The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Re: Pathetic crowd of only 20K
It was on free to air channel 7 tonight so maybe why less turned up (not many have Foxtel)??
Also the Alanbomb* (trademark pending) may be putting people off.
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: Pathetic crowd of only 20K
Yep, that'll happen, when we lose two straight and reality dawns on the fans who thought we were finals bound when we were sitting nicely at 4 wins and 1 loss around Easter. A shame, because maybe another 10,000 people could have helped to inject more adrenaline into the team.

Re: Pathetic crowd of only 20K
So, we are now 4 and 4 and, at least, competitive.
Give you some advice pal, don't turn up to the MCG next Saturday. You might be disengaged when you get there and disenchanted by the final siren, What did you expect?

Re: Pathetic crowd of only 20K
What do u expect?
The days of people mindlessly handing over money for a rotten product are over. They can smell the bulls**t a mile away.
The time for a fresh start is well overdue, let’s hope not too much damage is taken in the meantime.

Re: Pathetic crowd of only 20K
The players played 80% of the game lacking passion. It seems like they were going through the motions.
Wasn’t aware it was on channel 7. Then again, Kayo is so cheap there is no excuse not to have Foxtel coverage anymore unless you are a serious dumb c***.
It’s crazy that pre season 7 decided to show our game our the Showdown IMO.
Wait until we play our home game against Carlton at ColonialTelstraJihadMarvel Dome - it will seem like an away game, even though they’ll still be stuck on one win!

Re: Pathetic crowd of only 20K
Im sick of Ross. Given the opportunities Ross has to set up goals, a kid like McCluggage would have us on the top of the ladder.

Re: Pathetic crowd of only 20K
The trains don’t help. I left the ground right on the final siren at about 9.45pm. Caught the earliest possible Frankston train and didn’t make it back to Cheltenham until almost 11.30pm. Happens every week.

Re: Pathetic crowd of only 20K
Agreed I didn’t enjoy the game much at all one of those soulless empty stadium nights we have experienced so many times last 5-7 years.
20,000 on a Saturday night is pathetic.

I think you'll probably disagree with me here, but I think we need a new long term plan for the club.Special wrote: ↑Sun 12 May 2019 7:31am The players played 80% of the game lacking passion. It seems like they were going through the motions.

I'm talking about a 10 year or 20 year plan and we should push the State government and the federal government (along with the Hawks) for a new stadium in the south east of Melbourne. Let's be co tenants like we were back in the days of 90's at VFL Park Waverley
Make it easier for people who live in the South East and live in Gippsland and perhaps the supporters who have struggled to attend games over the last 20 years will flock back to the footy
Dave will hate me now

Re: Pathetic crowd of only 20K
Match lost at selection table. Players are being picked for 'structure' not exposed form in the reserves. Too many players are being gifted games, while others are dropped indiscriminately.guitars4 wrote: ↑Sun 12 May 2019 12:20am I'm surprised because I thought this was a really winnable game & expected 30 plus but writing was on the wall at quarter time out coached again really needed to make an early impact but same ol same ol slow start playing catch up all day no wonder people stay home.
Players clearly weren't prepared sufficiently for their competition again. Poor skills displayed under minimal pressure at times. Groundhog Day. Blowtorch will be on everyone at the club in two weeks if the game against Carlton doesn't go our way.
Your friendly neighbourhood samurai.

Re: Pathetic crowd of only 20K
20k was about right... It was a cold s**t Melbourne night against an interstate club with maybe more than half of the St Kilda team missing. It’s very easy to just say... f**k it, I’ll just watch at home. Frustrating game!

Re: Pathetic crowd of only 20K
The average modern football supporter is softer than ice cream. They get a cushy seat, a roof over their heads and a smorgasbord variety of food and beverage and won't even turn up because it's a cold night. Just hopeless. This insipid commitment only hurts the low-market clubs, like ours. Perhaps these types of supporters should jump on the Collingwood (and other popular fair weather clubs') bandwagons instead.prwilkinson wrote: ↑Sun 12 May 2019 3:22pm 20k was about right...

Re: Pathetic crowd of only 20K
If we f......en win more the crowd will be there rain hail or shine!!! When you are beaten down all the time, don’t draft properly, get the dregs of the coaches and administration, supporters lose interest.
If the club concentrated on winning games instead of ALL other bulls*** (marketing spin, painful chants on the PA after a goal when we actually score one), etc. etc people might become interested again. As much as people dislike Eddie McGuire, he bends over backwards to ensure Collingwood gives themselves every opportunity. Why can’t we have someone like that. We bend the other way and just cop it all the time.
