At the start of the week the MCC were estimating 55K with general admission being on the ground level of the Ponsford Stand.
Now they've changed their tune estimating 62K with only the top deck available for general admission.
This is exactly what happened with the Round 3 Carlton game.
Is it likely to attract 70K?
With Carlton and Collingwood playing interstate the neutrals who want to attend a game will choose this one over Kangaroos V Fremantle.
Richmond's turmoil during the week just may also drag a few extra along to see how they'll respond.
I love the MCG and can't wait for "hopefully" another exciting win on the big stage in 09.
What will the crowd be this week?
Re: What will the crowd be this week?
For a team that's 1 and 7 and about to self destruct yet AGAIN, I see no reason why their bandwagoners would want to attend. No Richo, no Cousins (remember the hysteria pre-seson???? What a f***'n fizzer this has turned out to be) and a team that is disenchanted and divided. The only reason their supporters will turn up in droves is to vent their spleen and spit all over their own.

I thought it was a similar deal to ANZAC Day as the Dreamtime game is a bigger game than the 2nd time we play them.F111 wrote:75K+ ..great number.robrulz5 wrote:I think we split the gate with Richmond over the two games we play against them.The Man from Bomberland wrote:Awesome crowd figure.
