Would have been around 4-5,000 Port fans there, the black and white army has surrendered?
Lowest home crowd in 11 years for the Pies.
The Power are a very unattractive proposition.
Collingwood were averaging over 50K per game before the weekend.
Bullshit. Not nearly as unattractive as Collingwood! They are pathetic and their skipper won't want to see images of himself in the second quarter taking the easy option and looking decidedly soft. That's why Pies fans aren't going, not because of the opposition but their own team.
Their home games : Richmond - 72,000, Melbourne 47,000 - Essendon ( Anzac Day ) 85,000 - Carlton 60,000 - Geelong 59,000 - Bulldogs 45,000.
So, Richmond, Carlton and Essendon the biggest drawcards in Victoria, Geelong, Melbourne and the Doggies. Not one non-Victorian team to get a true gauge of the Pies rocking up. I'd say it's the "other" teams supporters getting them to that number. They aren't side by side anymore. If they are, there's shitloads of empty seats between them!
PAFC. Forever.
LOOK OUT, WE'RE COMING!
