Is it cos the members don't turn up cos I seem to remember seeing attendances struggling to get over the 90,000 mark the past couple of years

Yeah alot of mcc members are melbourne supporters.
I think before last years gf the anzac day crowds were bigger than gf crowds for about 4 or 5 years.
Pity mcg doesnt get filled, i remember in 1993 about half way through the 1st qtr the crowd was still packed outside so they opened up one of the members area and let people pile in. The atmosphere was electric


Maybe 1995 when there was 95000 which I believe has been the most.

Yeah just when back through my photo album. Still got the ticket. Think it was just under 95,000. Round 4 1995. Drawn match. Not sure of exact figure but think a queens birthday game between collingwood and melbourne drew about 99,500. Those are 2 largest home and away crowds i think
