MCC is tipping 22,000.
I'll go for 25,000 - a few supporters will be out to see if Neil Craig can fire the Dees up,
and Saints supporters will be out to honour Nick and Nick, AKA The Two Nix, not related to Stevie Nix.

Re: Guess the Crowd: Sinners vs AFL Demonds @ MCG
Don't care how many are there, as long as we out number them. It's a massive game for us, for many reasons. Get there Saints fans. It's snowing at the moment so it will be even more embarrassing if we are out numbered.

They'll have to lock the gates at quarter time. To keep the crowd in. First to score will win.
I started with nothing and I've got most of it left!

Re: Guess the Crowd: Sinners vs AFL Demonds @ MCG
My first game since the "big walk" across Northern Spain. I've got a general admission membership, can anyone tell me where the MW will be sitting? I'm assuming that it will be the Southern stand? Q or P? Hope to see my Pals (and Eastern!) at the game GO SAINTERS!!!!!
St Kilda forever ( God help me)

90% of the demon fans will be at Falls Creek, Hotham or Mt Buller.
Except for the sanity nothing much has been lost.

19235 at the actual game.
In Perth, at the official home of the Western Saints -the Inglewood Tavern- a famous #7 Nick lives 10 minutes away- the attendance will be TWO people supporting the Saints.
TWO. Me, and this old guy sporting a grubby beanie and a 5 day growth, hunched over the bar, cackling like a witch.
Welcome to WA. It stands for "Wait Awhile". 2 hours behind Melbourne.
And 30 years behind the rest of the civilised world. With dumb people as far as the eye can see.

If only we all had your foresight!
The MW is generally Q14-15 upper deck wing of the Southern Stand, although much better free seating can be found on level one next to the MCC members in the new stand.

Re: Guess the Crowd: Sinners vs AFL Demonds @ MCG
NO idea what the crowd numbers will be but we have two modern greats of our club hitting 250 games this week, one of them is one of the all time greats to pull on our jumper. Whilst this core group may not have had in them the extra two goals they needed to snare a flag, they have given all they have to the cause and have earned the tribute of ALL OF US turning up this week to acknowledge their milestone.
This group may not have achieved the ultimate glory but they have changed our club forever - they have raised our expectations. As a club we no longer find joy in winning one quarter, or admiring the efforts of a singular player. We now expect to be planning and working towards our next flag tilt. Prior to this era we were simply happy not to be walloped. There is no going back from this position as it is a collective mindset. The outside world may not have changed it's opinion of us, but WE have changed how we see ourselves. And that is entirely the result of this era.
To paint the contrast, the fact that we are not on the bottom of the ladder used to be cause for celebration. Now, the fact that we are not in the finals is cause for angst and demands that actions be taken immediately to correct the situation. Key amongst those we need to thank for this 180 degree change in the mentality of our club is Roo.
TURN UP AND SAY THANK YOU........................

Re: Guess the Crowd: Sinners vs AFL Demonds @ MCG
Normally, I'd go for 23,000. But Roo and Dal's 250ths should drag more if we are fair dinkum. Anything less than 25,000 would not be a crowd befitting tow giants of the Saints. No overlooking the greatly under-the-radar Sean Dempster's 150th. I'll go for 25,997 based on the missus, the nipper and me not being there. Bloody working this weekend!

P66 supports the umpires. Which makes him a troll worse than a filth supporter.

I still dont get you. You say im on ignore but seem to read all my posts. very strange. The funniest thing I have read on here is you saying you are some type of banking executive and then i read your posts. i think we then can guess you have nothing to do with being a bank executive but you maybe a wank executive.

Too bad your boys didn't come home last night. You must be gutted today. Do think it's because the umps have been told to even up the free kick count?plugger66 wrote:Cairnsman wrote:plugger66 wrote:To cold for me so 23456.
