Saints vs Freo - Guess the crowd!!!
26,269
This is our biggest Friday Night Mockbuster for years boys and girls!
Thankfully, Freo got a win out the way last week and Dog Act Farmer will no doubt get on the piss, get locked up and jailed and be out for this week's game.
Plus....with Carlton in the eight, it's a must win for us.
So....
Not as big a Mockbuster as it coud've been, but still a very small crowd no doubt.
Last year, vs Freo at the Dome on a Saturday arvo we got 24K late in the season when we were still crap.

I dunno. But where is the bloody selling of the club? It's been non existent all year.
Let me tell you what I would doing this week.
All week, I would be portraying this as make or break week (the fact that it is should have some resonance). The real test of Fortius Quo Fidelius. And challenging Saints supporters to come out. What we need is Telstra full of biased, hateful, angry, loud, THAT'S LOUD, and most important LOYAL Saints fans.
I'd be talking it up as though it was the RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE.
This week we have to GO THE GUTZ!
The club lacks this sort of person. If not the coach (doesn't have to be) then the Pres. If not the Pres (doesn't have to be ) then the GM or CEO, I think they call them these days. If not the CEO, then the Media Manager or Chief SpinMeister. For goodness sake, just SOMEONE!
We don't need somnambulism. We need awakening!
Then, we might get more than 22,000 to the game. Otherwise, it will be like Warrandyte at midnight!

If they don't want to spend money on 'public advertising',
'why not bombard us members via the internet?
why not use some of The Age 'contra' (there must be some in the sponsorship deal?)?
Why not use the 'txt message' facility they have?
I agree with you Perfectionist - the silence has been deafening.

We have a real rivalry with Freo now...Bakes, Sirengate, Whispers in the sky....its our ONE chance for the season to get a 95% pro-Saints crowd...and is there any firing-up coming from the Club?,...NO!!

Low crowd for an unpopular interstate side, particularly as we havent been traveling too well of late. I would be shocked if we broke 30,000
