Thought I would point this out too ...

1999 - Pluggers 1300th goal kicked. If Fitzroy had turned up we would have gotten that amount.

1997, at the height of our success in Sydney. We average 39,000 for crowds this year, so this crowd was not out of the ordinary for a Sydney match.


Once again, you do not rate in Sydney. Sydney people would barely know who Collingwood are, let alone care.

There is none so blind as those that won't see, eh Masey?!

Pfft ...

I've already explained why C'Wood have more heads through the gate than other teams . You'd think the AFL could do a deal with two beenies for the price of one , for C'Wood supporters ... But i guess they spend enough money already, making six fingered gloves

Ah yes!

How sweet that goal!

That must REALLY hurt!

Gordon who?

I read that and looking between the lines, the reality is that Collingwood have via the negotiating skills of the omnipresent Mr Maguire gotten themselves ANZAC Day and Queens B'day clashes.

Good on Eddie, he's going for the Bye Round now too so the exposure for the Pies increases. But the article is flawed!

Where is this explaination?

Collingwood have a lot of support in Victoria. Probably the most.

Their crowds are the biggest in Victoria, and this is heightened by the fact that they played the majority of their games there, which allows:

a) their supports to go to 18 games a year.
b) opposition supporters to go to 18 games a year

With this fact alone, that is going to push up Collingwoods home and away crowd figures (away being in Victoria).

Fact is, that outside of Victoria you actually DO NOT rate at other clubs grounds.

The pies supporters that DO turn up, and the army that will be coming up to the Sydney game. They are just same Vic supporters that go to the game down there.

You do. You're the one telling us that you are reason we're getting a big crowd. The facts go against your claims.

If the Swans chant gets going, you will not be heard. Nobody will even notice your presence in the sea of red and white.

Hmmm. I why do I feel like this person is about 9 years old?

Whoopy do?

Anyway, I just wanted to reminisce about a great Swans moment.
Nothing wrong with that!

Pluggers 1300th must really drive magpie supporters "Nuts"

Since when did that matter?

If Buckley wins the Brownlow does that mean the Lions have bragging rights too?
