The rain after half time certainly sorted out the die hard fans from the casual visitors.
Still working out who came through when
BUT
we had about 2300 come in AFTER the last carnival match started so you could assume there were here for main match not the U8/U10.
Based on that I would estimate we had around 3,200 at games start.
Down to around 2800 by half time
and 2500 or so drowning by games end (dont forget the smart ones went to the grandstand, cricket or footy clubrooms.)
Players and Godsy certainly noted at post game presentations it was a larger and louder support than what they were used to,
Would have loved another 150 or so to break a couple of records but the forecast of afternoon rain was always going to be an issue for our target market of footy fans who don't usually come to games but might if invited and we put on an family friendly event around it.
Such is life, the 3 previous carnival days have been played in perfect conditons ... we were due for a wet one.
