After 15k turned up to the trial match against the Bulldogs , you would expect the same amount, if not more to show up to the season opener against the Eels.
While I was at the game, I guessed there was 20,000 people there, but that just shows I ‘aint to flash at guessing crowd numbers.
Instead there were 13,500 which surprised me. Maybe the fact that the Warriors had not won an opening games since 2002 was a factor?
Alternatively, fans think the ticket prices are too high – well this is just what I think. Based on the performance over the last 3 seasons, paying hard earned cash to watch them is just not a value for money proposition for fringe fans.
They are in the entertainment business and over the last few years, for the price of a couple of tickets folks can get entertained just fine elsewhere.
What fringe fans want is a winning team, and then they will show up. So until the lads put on a bit of a winning streak the big crowds may not eventuate.
