There is a hell of a lot to take into consideration for this weeks crowd prediction. Weather, day, opposition, recent performances, watts out...and of course the obvious.

I'm going to say 18,500 will rock up to the G but I am desperately hoping for more. Anything over 20,000 would be great. Anything below my prediction will be a disgraceful effort by some of our fans...

Too many weak supporters have already jumped off, and not many West Coast supporters will be making the trip given their season.

24335 - fingers crossed for a good turn out for Jimmy!

19,407- A bit more than the equivalent game last year. Weather doesn't look too good either.

Looking at those numbers, i'm actually quite impressed. We've been turning out some pretty good figures at some pretty poor matches.

21500.... I'll be there rain or shine!

Probably between 18 and 20,000. That's providing the clouds don't look black before the start of the game. It's going to be cold and we've got a lot of [censored] weak supporters.
