Saintsational Fan Forum - A passionate community of St Kilda Football Club fans discussing news, history, players, trade rumours, results, AFL stats and more.
from the Vibe I'm gauging have to agree- many saints who would normally go to every victorian game are staying away- away game , at the G, in mid winter, against feral supporters who are known to spit on children...
plus no general admission on level 1
(oh and the team no doing as well as recent years - todate)
may be a surprisingly low crowd for a grandfinal rematch.
generally despite being an ok draw if the team had been doing well- for the Football side of things the start of the year has no been good for developing supporters and enthusiasm-
only 3 games at Etihad to date and one of them a Monday and One a Sunday arfternoon...
This will be the last mid-season GF rematch I predict..back to Round 1 next year..a home game for the runner-up
Last year was a drizzly Fri night and only got 45,000-ish? even though both sides were travelling well.
The Pies pulled 52,000 v West Coast last weekend. Granted that was a sunny Sat arvo.
I too know people who wont go tonight "cos were playuing Collingwood and their fans are feral". If thats genuinely the reason then I reckon they need to toughen up. Fair enough its a Sat night, big crowd, chilly evening, lack of decent reserved seating.. fair enough, but..cos they fear for their health?
I saw just as many feral Saints fans as Pies at GF2 last year. Unless you are dead unlucky or are sitting behind the goals at the Ponsford Stand, I doubt you'll get knifed.

Oh yes, transmittable diseases are another matter altogether. IF you are taking kids, make sure their vaccinations are up to date

None of those reasons are any chop

I love the big games at the G but have f#@ed my back and have to watch on tv. Cheer louder than them for me, we were voted the worst fans for a good reason.

Well they arent supporters. I suggest they are just pathetic people.
True supporters would never stop following their team!
Not a better sentiment said well done.
I remember going to Moorabbin and you could fire a shot and not hit a saint supporter. Except the animal enclosure they were great supporters loved them all.But we did only win like 2 or 3 games a year back in the late 70s early 80s.
They might have some dreadful disease
