780K +

[brad]

This year we've had over 782K fans attend Essendon games up to Round 16.

Amazing considering we went on a 8 game losing streak and play the majority of our "home games" at a stadium that doesn't hold much more than 50K.

At this rate we're on target to reach the 1 million spectators with games against Collingwood, Bulldogs and St Kilda to come.

Looking at yesterday's crowd yes it was disappointing but at the same time when you look at the overall picture our support this year has been brilliant.

When up and running in a year or so time we'll be back to NUMBER 1. (imagine playing Geelong, Roos, Dogs and Saints, Hawks at the G instead of the Dome)

btw what a terrible attendance for the Hawks (3rd) v Saints (8th) last night. Just over 41K

Essendon fans NEVER desert the team - never

And that is exactly what seperates us from the rest of the comp along with the Filth. Must be the only two clubs to continually have decent memberships, good off field management and for EFC common sense (lets face it, no Filth supporter has any sense at all )

I beg to differ, I just think we have more genuine supporters who buy a membership, regardless of coach, whereabouts, potential etc.

Woops! Saw the title 780K+ and thought this was the salary package they are offering for Quinn's replacement.
Silly me!
