"MCC communications manager Shane Brown is confident Saturday’s (replay) crowd will threaten last Saturday’s turnout of 100,016 and the ground’s capacity of 100,018."

So the question is, who were the two people who were no shows last Saturday?

Was actually told by someone of importance just after the start of the game that the crowd would be 100016. He said that there was actually only 99700 in at the time. They had to break 100k because it looks better.

If the 100016 figure is accurate (and I have no reason to beleive that it wouldnt be) then I can confirm that the ground was at capacity. A young man who works for me and his mate snuck in with a crowd of smokers using the pass out trick just before the anthem. He reckons that there was so many people going through at once that he just pushed a peice of card into the guys hand and was pushed on by the surging crowd?


Maybe this year?

I can pretty much assure you it isnt.

Leon Davis and Dayne Beams were basically spectators on the day. They could include them in the figure and claim a capacity crowd.

Was a spare next to me also.

Think the crowd was more like 103,000 going by SEN yesterday. One bloke said there were passouts being sold everywhere...another bloke reckons he got 200 in...i don't know why you'd possibly ring up and brag about it on radio. I'd expect too see a much stricter pass out system this weekend

One was definately me!!!Just to emotional this time around....especially against Collingwood... would most likely be killed or up for manslaughter :shock:

Would plead severe profication of course !

Prefer to move between the T.V and back patio where the Esky of Crownies on ice reside and the occassional walk around the back blocks of Mt,Martha...just need a flag to cure me :oops: 8-)
