is a big crowd expected on friday night ?

[bayman]

well i think given the forecast & the history part of the night there should be at least 6,000 & maybe up to 10,000 for the west v north blockbuster, i wasn't around when norwood played there first game underlights at norwood but i can say i saw the first night game at richmond after friday c'mon get there & do the same

[Mr Fuller]

I plan to be there since my Eags don't fire up till round 2. Love the opening round!

[baggy8]

If they had 5,000 there (which I think is realistic) West would be ecstatic as that would be their best crowd since 1992 or thereabouts (spelly could confirm).

[Voice]

As I said in the game preview thread me and a few other Sturt lads will be down there.

[Thiele]

I have herd they are expecting around 8,000. There will be extra catering

[CK]

Looking forward to this one enormously, should be a cracker. If they can get 5,000, that will be a great effort by the club and supporters, as well as many neutral supporters heading along.

Round 2 1992 - 5671

8,000? Well, you'd have to go back to Round 8 1986 for that - 10,808.

Cant Wait!

[Dog_ger]

Crowds could be down this weekend.

So much happening around the country.

The Dog predicts around 3000,

[Ian]

Considering it is the 1st game of the season, the 1st ever night game at Richmond and no other games on at the same time I'd expect a lot of nuetral supporters as well, should be a very good crowd

[The Sleeping Giant]

A healthy crowd of 4500.

[whufc]

Absolute no chance of 10000 imho at absolute most i would predict 5000 this is about 3k up on what would usually attend this game.

[Big Phil]

I'll be there for sure, I know that...

Well more likely to be in the line-up at the BBQ actually

[NO-MERCY]

Something really wrong with West & North supporters if they can't achieve 6,000 fans.

especially if pram lady brings her kids...

[85 WAS A GOOD YEAR]

I'll be there to support my Flaggies Boys

[The Sleeping Giant]

Perspective people. West v North games at Richmond have attracted less then 2000 spectators in recent times.

Yeah but they're unveiling "THE LIGHTS". Surely this will get people out just for the novelty of Night Footy @ Richmond

[Wedgie]

I hope West use some common sense and open up every entry point and all the car parks. My son has footy training on Friday nights and I have a concern about getting a park and getting in ok time but I hoping Westies will adequately cater for a big crowd.

I'll wait until round 4. Not a big deal. According to the messenger these lights are less bright than Norwood's old ones.
