Was interested to hear on the ABC yesterday Clint Wheeldon (who does a great job btw) made comment that last years WAFL GF ratings were apparently 20k down on previous years WAFL GFs and that was with a poor crowd attending as well …so much for 7 being the great white knight some have portrayed on here!
Just listening to Sport FM and they made a good point about the amount of rain and bad weather we have had on game days this season. That IMO has definitely hurt attendances in 2016.
Gotta chuckle when the media start using the ol’ weather as an excuse. For example in previous years (1960’s to 1970’s) hundreds of thousands of people rocked up to the footy each season. Wasn’t there a Winter season back in those days? Or are cold wet winters just a recent phenomenon that never happened before? Perhaps the grounds were more comfy back then?
Usually in the past WAG it’s rained during the week and been fine for the footy on the weekend.
Yeah,it rained and the WAFC weren’t backward in giving us their excuse?
Pity they weren’t forward enough to promote each round PROPERLY.
With our Clubs’ promotion money,the thieving sods
