Back in the Football Register Days,it was said the Perth City Council Grandstands fitted about 3 000.
But of a stretch,but maybe 1 000+ these days up top?
957 at Revo
2018 at Basso
Waiting on the drones at Good Grocer.
783 at Lathlain.
Not great,with West Coast putting no more than 100 through the Gate,if that.
The Dees who went along created a bit of atmosphere and a happy one at that,from the 3rd Quarter on when our boys got on top of the eagles.
And glad the Club opened up the OâDea Bar afterwards,or rather kept it open.It made for a pleasant Sunday Arvo and plenty of cheer for those inside.
For the Dees who didnât go,come on guys get behind us,eh?!
Do I need to exhort old Demons,but depressed Bombers to jump on the Bandwagon before you do?Thereâs plenty around,âŠ
For those eagles who didnât go and there were plenty of 'em,âŠwell if the couch fits,âŠ

so you pulled a massive 600 at home in their greatest season in decadesâŠ
Yes,it is very disappointing getting these P.Poor Attendances.
Probably 1 200 if the Turnstiles were unattended for the Colts Game afterwards.
If the missing Demons show up in Finals,fine.
But they canât truly say they were a big part of any resultant Flag that MIGHT happen!!
rednblack has a far harder assessment of such footy fans and heâs probably right!
But I just wish they would show up for a few games before the Finals,to push us on to greater things!
If the players do attain a Status no one at Perth had done in a long time,when they greet supporters on a Big Night,theyâll pick out the ones who rode every bump,or at least the many bumps with them,on good days and bad,1st!

I donât get to too many games, but for me personally that was the smallest Subi crowd for a home game at Leederville. Probably more players than members / supporters for the post match speeches. The game was pretty tough to watch but still lots of goals and a few highlights with a bit of biffo and usual Garlic Muncher head high hits and bewildering umpiring and some nice tap beer makes for a decent day out

989 at Lathlain, 126 more than could be bothered turning up to see Aaron Black play his 300th game of senior football at Leederville. Pity you didnât make it 1447 at Fremantle Oval yesterday instead chose to stay away and watch it on your dearly beloved 7PUSS probably because you have little faith in your team sitting in 3rd place (equal second). How it must feel to be so spoilt.

We donât agree on much these days rednblack!
But BINGO!
That was an ABSOLUTE RIPPER!
Gee the red and black army are really turning out in droves for this record breaking demons season, maybe they are staying home glued to the more comfie live coverage on 7 cannot blame them as decades of failure tends to leave you on edgeâŠBlacks 300th..LMAO not goner pull a lot sweetheart these days.
The mythical demons army better turn out finals time, we expect 1000s at the finals according to grassy predictions.
You and your BS probably this probably that ,attendance figures, based on zero evidence like Trumps stolen election 
I actually believe the Electoral College System,regardless of who Wins it.
The Bloated Fool won with it twice and Still complained.
As for Saaayy,Foundation Day.Well bud,donât take my word for it,but if it wasnât Peter Christie or Cam Britt poking their head in the Sport FM Commentary passing on the Attendance figure of 5 231,Iâll be blowed.
Are you saying they inflated the figures by any chance?Your own President or CEO?
I enthusiastically said it was surprising it wasnât 7 or 8 000 and youâre jumping down my throat,selling your OWN Club short.Each to their own if you feel that way,but when youâre starting to sound like an AFL Mouthpiece,rather than a South Fremantle stalwart,I Do worry for you,âŠ
Your always pulling figures from your arse grassyâŠand blaming some grand conspiracy theory that lives rent free in your head running around with a tin foil hat on in the pig penâŠare you ever happy about anything?
Take that one up with Landsmeer,Sport.
Sport FM put your Officialâs figure to Air,not me.
Are you saying everone in the Booth associated with that figure LIED about that?!
So youâre poking fun at a Legend of the WAFL in the 21st Century now,are you?!
You really must be an AFL Mouthpiece?!
I was sitting in the old Cooper or McDonald stand the other week,and the average demographic age was around 65+,and other than players friends,relatives or girlfriends bothering to turn up,Iâve never in my half century of watching WAFL,have I seen attendanceâs at a lower ebb.

Yet,there were a whole bunch of kids running around the other end.
I know we have a lot of older Sulpporters,but at least they are Supporting their Club.
When you have a football body,that pays a network instead of the other way around and then come out with the bizarre statement,you are happy at the TV Numbers watching from the couch,rather than from the Stands,it doesnât inspire much confidence in their ability,to attract new people to the Competition.
My son is a 21 year old dyed in the wool Royals WAFL supporter Old D,and he attends games when they donât conflict with his amateur club,but unfortunately he is the only one in his circle of friends that makes that effort,as the AFL is now the only comp his generation are interested in.

I can understand the many committed to a PFL Club not being able to attend WAFL Footy much,because both are on Saturdays.Fair enough.
I imagine most folk still follow the Eagles and Dockers,but unable to attend home games on Saturdays there.Can understand those that follow Freo being engrossed in their progress.Given theyâre playing a lot more on Thursday and Friday Nights at Home these days,that leaves Saturdays free if not tied up by PFL Ccmmittments.
Surely a few days a season might be worth a look?
West Coast?Theyâve been down the gurglar for 5 years now.Surely a few games of WAFL wonât go astray,when the Eagles are gettjng Pumped! constantly,âŠ?
If you love ya footy,âŠI must be dreaming.
you have to keep in mind we have just lost as much as 80 to 90% of the generation that took us along to the WANFL
That equates to an enormous patronage alone
We allowed our game to be purchased by the VFL in 1986 - and then we for some god-forsaken perverted reason paid them cash for the priviledge
they gave us a blue and gold jumper in return - a whoore that would eventually kill itâs own mother to further itself
we had a competition that was eating the VFL yet we allowed mass clearances for dollars - those very clearances would be the beginning of this death knell
have a look at how many clubs have vanished across Australia , how many comps that have dissolved - this game is intended for pimple headed fecks and kents that couldnât sneeze without an iPhone telling them to

And on top of that, the Wafl attendances have fallen off the cliff. And yet alarm bells are still not ringing loudly!!
Why not, could be an obvious qjuestion? Heard the other day, the total qualifying rounds attendance for season twenty twenty five just under 141 thousand? Should be attracting a lot more.
The total attendance for the qualifying rounds is going to be a huge fizzer this season!
Nothing being done to arrest this alarming decline.
