        If it is very hard to compete, that must make Sydney the big crowd pullers. We have drawn crowds TWICE in Adelaide, AND twice in Brisbane.

        You say its hard to do, but surely with Collingwood apparent national exposure, shouldn't you have more than Sydney? Essendon? etc?

        Even the Saints have a high crowd in WA, you guys don't even rate.

            I'm saying you are not the holy grail of crowd pullers.

            Maybe there's abit of crowd pulling amongst yourselves though!

              Dave, Dave, Dave......yeah look to be honest maybe I should get over this inferiority complex....

              I really should have done it a long time ago.....about the same time as the then inferior South Melbourne turned Sydney Swans and had to move to Sydney for their very survival.....

              It's that simple......

                    Hello Greg..welcome to RWO.

                    Don't be too nasty you hear.

                    The only seats left are the top level on both ends and they are slling fast. I thinks we might fall short of 70k but an amazing turn out.

                    Sydney Vs [Insert any team here playing for 2nd spot] would have drawn a huge crowd.

                    Don't forget that only a third of the crows will be black and white..the rest will be a sea of red and sprinkles of white.

                      Well the AFL mode of the ground used to only seat 73,000. But they seem to have developed a few more season, which could take it just over 75- 76,000.

                      If there are only 7000 seats left, I would say we're odds on favourites to get over that, even if people just turn up on the day!

                        The weather forecast isn't great, that could keep people away, although as we'll all be setting off at about 3 am, we should get there in the dry.

                        For Saturday Fine at first but cloud increasing and rain developing later. Light to moderate north to northeast winds, strengthening later. Precis For Saturday

                          Just heard on the radio that only 6000 tickets were left for the match at 2pm Friday.

                          Looking forward to throwing cold pies at the army!

                            Can you beleive City rail are doing track work on the northern line that night......just like they did at the essendon game.

                            Surely this must qualify as a "special" event.

                                If you are on that northern line. I think the one that comes straight down toward strathfield, buses will be replacing trains. Which means leave an hour eariler. Check the cityrail website for more details. www.cityrail.nsw.gov.au I think.
