If the weather forecast holds true (few showers, windy, 13 degrees), 40k would be a very good crowd. On the evidence of yesterday's North v Demons game, there won't be more than about 5-8,000 Demons supporters there.

I should be able to use my tickets for the game then as it is certainly not going to be a sellout... (the ones the afl gives out through auskick). Although i am a little wary after what happened to the people who were given tickets to the Geel/Haw game and had to return them.
