happy to be stand corrected on this, but after the fiasco of the 2015 GF, I believe the state government has a deal to hold it at Marvel if the GF is to be held in Melbourne. the AFL has agreed to keep Marvel free for use on HAL GF day 



City vs CCM = 7,000
Jets vs Perth = 7,000
WU vs WSW = 5,500
Victory vs Nix = 17,500
AU vs BR = 8,000

3 of the 5 games in Melbourne again. atrocious fixturing. 

Also need to remember thatt there have been 3 melbourne derbies in the first 4 rounds which would be propping up the ffigures

Propping it up even more is that Wanderers have had 3 home games so far this season compared to 1 last season and that 1 was played in Mudgee.  They have home attendance of 60k this season compared to 5k last season.

If you’re going to do that you also have to allow the fact Roar have only played at home once and that was a crappy 6.30 kick off on a Friday. After the first two rounds last year Roar has pulled over 30,000 in for two games. 

Silly me, I was thinking more teams, but of course, the number of games are the same.

Brainless scheduling by the new mob this season. Good luck getting 15k to any Roar games now this season...

If it happens it should be the 4PM Saturday games now. 

City vs CCM = 8K
Jets vs Perth = 7K
WU vs WSW = 6K
Victory vs Nix = 17k
AU vs BR = 10k first game since ffa cup final cmon adelaide  

City vs CCM = 6.2k, cant see how they get more than last week.
Jets vs Perth = 8.2k, dont understand how they have 10k members but lower attendances?
WU vs WSW = 6.4k, core of 5/6k is there
Victory vs Nix = 15k, back at aami but fans not happy after last week
AU vs BR = 9.2k, standard adelaide. 

Just noticed 3 games in melbourne, crazy.

if we can get two games over 10k a week that would be good right? 

As long as no club getting below 5k, thats good enough for me.

you would hope so.

second time this season and it happens a few more times. It doesn't help those of us who are interested in checking out a WU home game at some point.

so victory will get more than 10k so we are hoping for adelaide, newcastle or city to help out 

Melbourne City v Central Coast - 6k
Newcastle Jets v Perth Glory - 7k

Da a league Suxx. What sort of loser goes to live matches anyway... lol kek

Sheer incompetence.

Thanks new ffa...

City v Mariners published as 5547 in News group  websites

No games in Sydney to maximize Matilda's friendly attendance in Parramatta.

Lol that's a flat out lie.

3k max.

I didn’t get to go tonight but I agree that there was no way that was over 5k based on what I saw on TV.

Weather was terrible today but damn the club really is struggling to get traction. This was a big event really that the club has been promoting heavily on social media in particular, but many didn’t even bother to go (I had a work function until 8pm so I wasn’t able to go).

Top of the table and that crowd turns up.. worrying 

Agreed.

Yes weather was ordinary, but Sheesh that crowd was alarming.

Officially they just fudge numbers, but reality is not good for your mob.

Actually quite accurate so far....

Agree. Flat out falsification. Makes it even worse. 

It could very well be a lie, but you can't base it off what you see on tv. You only get to see 3 sides of the stadium meaning you're basically one whole grandstand. 

You have to be at the game to make that judgment accurately. 

This is true, but having seen the game on tv, this argument assumes the fact that the unseen grandstand contained a disproportionate amount of people compared to the rest of the ground.

Is there a reason that this would be the case at AAMI?

And in all honesty it normally is the case at every stadium except Bankwest, because Bankwest is the only one where only one side is corporates and happens to be the side that isn't shown. 

Basically if behind both goals there was a total of 1k which was easily possible, another 1.5k on the side with the camera view which again was easily possible, you would only need the remaining grandstand to have 3k to bring the total to the 5.5k announced. 

With all that in mind anything under 8k is a joke of a crowd either way, so there's no chance I'll defend that crowd, even with bad weather and it being a Friday night game. 

Yes there is.
The western stand is always shaded for summer games.
Might not have been an issue last night but I dare say memberships in the western stand would sell well due to having good views for all games at AAMI Park.

At the absolute most.

LOL @ anyone trying to defend 5k....
