Boycott round

[MJ23]

Im all for a boycott round. It should include TV as thats where the AFL would be influenced the most.

I think then all supporters should make the effort to go and watch local footy. That way you get to watch a game, the AFL miss out on the attendance numbers, the broadcaster misses out on ratings and Local footy gets a big boost.

if the boycott is on for the pies dogs match then attendance will be like 22 thousand at marvel if the boycott is not on then say 40 thousand

it will be a pisser if there was like say only 4 thousand turn up

[eureka]

what is collingwoods lowest attendence match that you all can remember

[eureka]

mine was in 1999 wooden spoon year we played freo at the mcg pies won by I think 1 goal it was the pies first win of 1999 and was round 14 I think in the middle of july was around 8 degrees wet with hale and windy bitterly cold at the mcg attendance was I think approx. 18 thousand if that we were 14 losses before the match and won the freo match does any one remember it was a Saturday or sunday arvo match too in terrible condtions

It was 26,339 and a Saturday afternoon match, Eureka.

We had less than that against Fremantle at the MCG just a few years ago – 20,320 on a Friday night in round 14, 2016. Our lowest attendance in the last twenty years (and probably for a good while longer than that) was 8,102 in our first game against GWS, up at the Sydney Showgrounds.

another match was v geelong at Waverley park in I think 1989 or 1988 it was an icy 7 degrees wet hailing and thunderstorm plus extremely windy attendance was around 4 thousand pies won in the scrap muddy match by I think 2 goals it was truelly artic park that Saturday arvo

[David]

Yeah, not sure about, Eureka – the only times we played Geelong at Waverley, attendance never dropped below 26,000 (in 1977). Our lowest attendances against them in that period were at Vic Park (16,852 in 1985) and Kardinia Park (17,659 in 1986). And in case you have the opponent wrong, our lowest attendance ever at Waverley was 15,709 against St. Kilda in 1985. I doubt we've had a crowd anywhere near 4000 since World War 2. I also doubt that any organised "boycott" of this week's game would even be perceptible as such.

[Clifton Hill-Billy]

I boycott every game at dung pile Docklands. Everyone should tune into state of origin instead of watching AFL, that would truly frighten the crap out of Fuhrer Gillon and his goose stepping security squad!
