Crowd vs Saints

[Refried Noodle]

Do people here like crowd guessing threads?

I do :p

Melburnians to turn out after footy starvation:

74,386

[Charlie]

78,442

The buildup is starting to simmer already, and will be boiling over by Wednesday. The media outlets are pushing the Saints bandwagon big time.

[Frog]

62,364

And for what it is worth, I believe the latest estimate of MCG ground capacity for the Preliminary final is 80,000

Every one of those seats will be sold... the only question is whether the MCC seats will actually be used or not.

66,310

Don't think it will push 70. Just because its a night game and will be on tv.

Anecdotal evedence tells me there is a lot of interest from non Swans and Saints supporters. The expectation is of a cracking game and MCC and AFL members will turn up in droves.

As long as I have my ticket I don't give a continental how many turn up.

[stellation]

Every one of them will be there to see Nicky D.

Its taken me all weekend to move on from the Cats game but am now focussed on St Kilda. Am now so glad I bought my airline ticket last week. 70,000+ at the new look MCG will be an awesome experience. I hope every Swans supporter who can attends. Win this Friday night and I reckon we've got the premiership, so important is this game. This is going to be a longer week than last week!

A Lot!!

[BayesysLeftBoot]

40 to 50 thousand saints and 15 to 20 thousand swans. Rough Guess: 67, 843

[NMWBloods]

More than 6 people!

[Grant]

64,273

[Refried Noodle]

2,900 tickets left and the capacity is at least 80,000.

Figure depends on those lazy MCC members :D

[Go Swannies]

AD says he's expecting 80,000.

[cruiser]

It should be awesome with so many people at the game. I hope there's a huge red and white turn out there.

the atmosphere around bay M13 was absolutely electric. I went to the game by myself so was praying that I wasn't going to be surrounded by feral Saints, but luckily was in amongst what felt like a Swans only bay. I dont know how loudly the sydddddneeyyy chant was heard through the tv, but it felt like I was back at the SCG in that last quarter :)

I've never high-fived and hugged so many strangers in my life!

And in no way was the crowd even close to 40-60 - more like 25-75, at best, but we sure made a lot of noise. :D

Fairly loud, was pretty amazing to hear the chant ring throught the MCG, of all places.

Any one else sit near the cheer squad. Loved it singing the song and high fiving for the second half of the last.
