Crowd predictions - GWS v Swans

[Gezball]

On the up side, weather looks like it's going to be good. GWS are looking a lot more competitive than before. Buddy exists.

On the down side, GWS aren't likely to being as many fans as a Victorian team. They're getting better but are still an "unsexy" team. SOO and the World Cup are also dominating media.

Prediction: 28,189.

I was only 1K off the result last time. *brag*

Going for 26K this time.

29,688. Should be a reasonable crowd I hope - certainly I'll be there (Surprisingly my first SCG game of the year and its almost July!) to see us hopefully get some revenge on the Giants!

Well CJK I was only 317 off last time so I was pretty impressed with myself as well My guess is that with Buddy on fire, a potential record equalling run of wins, the Giants also on a record winning run and of course revenge on the table we will have a crowd of 33,500

Both teams in best form of the last few years, so no reason why every AFL supporter in Sydney won't be at this game.

...but it is at the SCG which is hard to get to.

Well, I think you are a funny man, Barry.

I also think we will get 31,482

37, 463. We shouldn't expect any less...particularly given we're attempting to equal our biggest winning streak in about 80 years. Anything under 35k will be a huge let-down. This could be our last chance in 5-7 years to really put GWS to the sword and stamp our dominance in NSW...they will be scary good in the near future.

Another goading jab.......... But I'm ducking and weaving (remember the 'thriller in Manila') and won't be returning fire.

So the maths are -

18K turn up whenever
+ 2K Buddy factor
+ 6K band-wagoners
+ 9K Giants from Carlton last game
- 1K Carlton fans
- 5K GWS fans as SCG is sooooo hard to get to
- 3K wierdos who go to GWS games despite being other clubs members/fans, have nothing else to do with their lives, like watching terrible football, love the Homebush area
