Let's crack 50,000 on Saturday Night

[Young Dee 1,303]

I'll be there with my 35 week pregnant wife. C'mon Dees, back to back, let's go.

Shes brave - might be able to add one to crowd attendance

Let's hope the game's not TOO close then.

[Demon Disciple 11,189]

I'm all for trying to get as many people to the game as possible. But 50,000 is a pipe dream. I'd say we'll be lucky to get 35-40k.

15k at least - MFC

10k at most - WBD

10k at most staying from FOW.

5k extra as leeway.

35,000 is my prediction. Saturday forecast atm isn't looking too good. So weather will also be a factor.

[Dr. Gonzo 22,785]

There were 32k at Ess/Bulldogs, I'll be happy if we beat that. Where are all the Bombers who were at ANZAC Day the week before?

Figures, I remember the first one (with the umpires inexplicably in pink) was an absolute shocker of a night. I think this game can actually be built into something between us and the doggies if they give it a chance.

I don't think I'll be able to go unfortunately as I'm having some surgery on Friday. But who knows, I could come good!

[Bitter but optimistic 21,572]

I have a number of very tasteful pink ensembles to choose from - some difficult decisions coming up.

go with the miniskirt.

I completely agree.

There's no reason the field of women game btw us and Footscray can't be a regular occurrence, just like dreamtime at the g has been a resounding success for Essendon and Richmond.

The only difference is that the latter two are considered 'power' clubs and we are relative minnows.

But given the opportunity we could build this as a blockbuster and make it a regular 50k+ game.

As it stands, I think 35k or so this week is likely.

[Oneday 248]

go with the miniskirt.

I will be there with all the family, but I don't know how much of the game I will be watching now as I will be trying to find bbo dressed in a pink mini skirt. Not so sure how I will explain that to the kids though!

[McQueen 17,864]

I'm making the trip over from WA for this one. Getting the old man to come along as well as my Geelong supporting Mum and sister who are based in Vic.

Such a great cause that needs everyone's support where possible. Being a bye round, I hope many other clubs supporters will get on down and see a great contest.

I've secured a rocket to the Presidents dinner courtesy of a mate (and fellow demonlander) (Thanks if you're reading).

I will however make sure I scan the normal membership to bump the crowd figures up

i've noticed every clown that doesn't even know the rules of the game and attends one game per year pledges their allegiance to Collingwood or Essendon

if someone claims to barrack for Melbourne, North, Doggies or the Saints you know that have some sort of clue and some sort of passion

Spot on. Absolutely astounds me how many 'half followers' barrack for Essendon or Collingwood.

It's absurd.

Make sure she knows where the taxi rank is, in case you have to send her off during the game.

[Pipefitter 2,083]

Clubs like ourselves and the Bulldogs are crying out for blockbusters. We should be really making this one of the biggest games on the calendar. Its a beautiful sight, great cause and gesture.

[The Chazz 4,077]

take em to the rocky horror show.

They would be exposed to twice as much spending the first quarter next to BBO in the miniskirt.

They have been exposed to fair bit already, seeing as all are die hard members of our wonderful club.

She can walk to the Mercy from the g. It's not far.

[ucanchoose 1,807]

What's the point of going if we can't play our best team?

[Bitter but optimistic 21,572]

Good point. Taxis are expensive. You could probably buy four pots for the price of a taxi fare. No brainer really.

If she has a watershed moment during the match then it's probably a sign that they are not meant to be together.

One must read the omens.

[jane02 3,558]

Just send out an SOS via the paging system for me. I'm a midwife and will be there with an obstetrician and a handful of other midwives - that way neither of you will have to leave.

[jazza 1,323]

well after the last 12 hours,and reading demonland this morning.

we will get 50,000 there.

great advertising for the game.

Perhaps you could give Uncle Bitter a quick examination Janie?
