Unfortunately the majority of our supporters are fickle front-runners.Dan Warna wrote:St Kilda is a bit like Richmond lite wrt support
we have a massive latent support as well as a solid unmoveable core of about 20,000 people.
Richmond you can add about 5,000 to 10,000 to st kilda's numbers.
when st kilda are rolling well, expect big numbers.
97 prelim v north there were maybe 70,000 saints to 15,000 north fans.
92 eliminator v Collingwood at waverly it was about 30k/30k each way.
we aren't a big 4, we lack the corporate support of essendon, collingwood, carlton and richmond.
However st kilda for all its lack of success is probably just 1 rung below the big 4 in support.
Despite a lack of success we supercede melbourne, hawthorn, north, footscray quite easily.
although when we fail, we tend to drop off faster, a bit like richmond.
if st kilda get say 2 premierships in 5 or 6 years, expect crowds to fill the stadiums regularly for a decade, as happened in the past.
IMO the AFL has handed Sydney and Brisbane flags, and will help west sydney and gold coast, while missing on teh $$ available form facilitating a richmond or st kilda premiership.
as for North, $$$$$$ have flowed the way of north and despite success they are at their peak membership now, they'll struggle to get much past it.
that as maybe, but the same could be said for a number of clubs.GrumpyOne wrote: Unfortunately the majority of our supporters are fickle front-runners.
