The 2010 team was a very "Collingwood" team, if that makes sense. It was cheeky, had rat-bags, had guys who'd stuffed up and come back. This team is very young, we aren't as invested in them yet. Plus it has a lot of players from other clubs, and free agency and trades makes it easier to leave a la Beams.
I think people aren't as invested in the people playing in the jumper anymore, because they could leave at a moments notice. Loyalty isn't a big thing anymore, and people know that? |
nope, the bandwagoners have jumped off. will be back on again as we close in on regular finals appearances. |
Not sure it'll get back to the last few years
Crowds and interest is down across the comp, especially with the kids _________________ We just got nutted at the clearances... |

Pretty good summary really.
I'd add the cost factor. People are doing it tough, negative wages growth and day to day expenses booming. I know myself it's increasingly difficult to justify the $40-50 in fuel, the $10+ for parking, the cost of food and drink at the game or enroute, the cost of a few drinks pre-game if you catch up with mates, all on top of ticket prices. |

Yes of course it is.
Must be that Richmond supporters all bought small electric cars, gave up the piss and got promoted at work.
What a load of crap!

Free full strength beer for Collingwood members would double our crowd numbers within a week and make our membership the most sought after and cherished ticket in town. If I run for President there will be two types of membership. Wet and Dry. The Wet Magpie Premium Package includes free full strength beer at all our home games. _________________ I love this club and I hold anyone in contempt who does not think it is worth fighting for. |
