God knows, Elvis live could have came over that PA tonight and could have been mistaken for Pink it was that bad.
If they had a greek wedding on in the function room there may have been 6000 all up.

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

well i at least got the crowd right !! but i thought north would win comfortably & was only 20 goals out

Sorry, I was talking about the lights.

Surely there is some sort of standard the lights have to be before sport can be played in it.

Congrats. You were within 4000.

read it properly

I think with a slight adjustment those lights will be fine, the crowd seemed to be better lit up than the centre circle but as I said before it was easily superior to Elizabeth.
Put less light on the crowd and more on the centre corridor and they will be good IMHO.

PS I thought the crowd would be somewhere between 1 and 100,000. I was spot on!

LOL - I was thinking the same thing Wedgie

Yes, between 6000-10000. Like I said, well done.

[redandblack]

This is going to be a disaster. Move the game too Saturday afternoon. Have a night game later in the year, when everything is 100%.

You were spot on again, TSG.

It was a disaster.

[bayman]

re jeff wells, he was at the footy last night & ran into plenty of people he hadn't ''seen in years'' & is living down port adelaide way

[Trent Plucktrum]

Yep i grabbed him after the game and he was little bit wobbly by that stage but then again that may nave been me !!

Surely there is some sort of standard the lights have to be before sport can be played in it.

The AFL recommends a minimum for State League games of 300 lux, which is what we have at Richmond.
Gee TSG, the lights aren't bright enough, posters' match reports are too long to read - I'm starting to think your eyes are a little delicate.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Yep, very delicate nickname.

Still. IMO the lights at Richmond are sub standard. Then again, what did anyone really expect when they were only switched on 48 hrs before the start of the game.

[redandblack]

"Look, our TSG is the only one in step".

Mate, the only thing sub-standard about Friday night was your team's effort.

I look forward to the day you post something positive about anything.

[The Sleeping Giant]

I understand West supporters are a bit sensitive about their lights, but I'm not the only one who has mentioned it. Trust me, if they were at Prospect, I wouldn't be happy about it, as it would mean I would see them more than once a year max.

I thought the lights were okay, certainly better than other suburban grounds. Perhaps you aren't used to a ground that runs North/South and the goals line up?

[NO-MERCY]

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

Well done West & North supporters.
I was 1 of probably 1000 non supporters of either club that attended the game.
I thoroughly enjoyed the display of hard contested football executed by the Bloods, that type of consistant footy should see them shape the 5.

If you were able to see North's performance then I'm surprised you aren't complaining that the lights were too bright.
The standard is 300 lux, our lights are 300 lux, therefore our lights are not substandard.
