Crowd Predictions for Round 1 @ ANZ Stadium

[Beaussie]

So, how big a crowd do you think we will get for round 1 against the Saints at ANZ Stadium?

Lets hope the club and the AFL promote the game properly. That means no more ads for our games at midnight after the game has already been played. Hope the AFL and the club learnt from that blunder of the past.

My prediction is 44,000.

Know nothing about the social forces in Sydney for that weekend so will take a punt on 37,373. I'm in a Goodsey type mood.

31 752

I reckon the as the Swans start showing some good form the crowds will return but perhaps with quite a bit of lag. When they win 5 games on the trot then we'll start to see 45k at Homebush for a team like the Saints

I'd say early 30s, and I'll be pleased with anything over mid 30s and stoked if they get over 40k. I haven't seen any ads for it yet (a little while to go, I realize) and I'm just so scarred by that final vs. North that they didn't promote that whenever I don't see a heap of ads kicking in I get concerned.

Alot of St Kilda supporters I know booked flights ages ago so I think we will get a good crowd.

There have been plenty of ads on channel 10 in Sydney over the past couple of weeks.

Official 31300.

31,895. Roy Masters to declare that AFL is finished in Sydney. Kevin Sheedy to announce that GWS will save Swans by boosting interest in the west.

I think many will turn up on the night. It will be a warm one.

Someone else here was just closer.

It was a photo finish
