Ads for this all over SEN this week, great to see.

I'd cut ties with Koren right now. Melling/Mauk were good.

Thought the 8,403 crowd was decent enough. HAVE to crack 10,000 on Friday night.

As I've said before, it's really not all bad. Most of those 2.5k would be Eurosnobs.

Yeah, understand where the doom and gloom is coming from but we're two games in FFS and played both GF sides away yet with our second XI. Need to relax.

Ads on radio and in the paper today, club is doing plenty of promo. Should be 10,000 honestly.

Utter shit. We need a massive name in his marquee spot next year. Time to take this club to the next level.

Few more tickets released in our end http://www.ticketmaster.com.au/melbourne-victory-v-melbourne-city-docklands-victoria-17-10-2015/event/25004F2241692549?artistid=1055545&majorcatid=10004&minorcatid=11&tm_link=artist_msg-0_25004F2241692549

Or, as I suspect, those 2000 odd are purely Villa bandwagoners/Eurosnobs/Manchester City fans. Not sure we've lost too much ground with the actual MCFC fanbase.

For those interested, away bay tickets are now available to the public. http://www.ticketmaster.com.au/event/25004F2241692549?brand=&tm_link=tm_homeA_g1&hot_ticket_brand=home

How is the away bays selling? Sold out?

Great result, old Heart would have lost that. Derby buildup will be huge.

Memberships moving quickly now, looks like the massive ad in the Hun yesterday did its job.

Really solid effort all things considered. Reckon we'll get more sign ups than last year from this point as our first home game is rnd 3. Wasn't the Jets opening game in rnd 1 last year?

8354 on October 1 2014 So around 1400 down and probably less considering this time last year the AFL was done for the season and AFL hype had started. Not bad considering there's no marquee this year. Crowds will be up this year.

6811, big jump.

Going up nicely now, 6,703. Would love 8,000 before our first home game.

Reckon crowds will be just as good, if not better than last year if we start well. 1170 basically are made up of Villa bandwagons. Don't think we'll lose too much in terms of actual season support.

Only reason I can think of is because they want to maximize attendance. Can't get much more than 43,000 with seats in.

We have our usual active and prem B seating on level one. Seats not coming in. Link, onsale tomorrow - http://www.ticketmaster.com.au/melbourne-victory-v-melbourne-city-docklands-victoria-17-10-2015/event/25004F2241692549?artistid=1055545&majorcatid=10004&minorcatid=11

Same day last year - 7,685

6421 now and climbing. Seems to be gathering momentum as the season starts. 8,000 by our first home game in rnd 3?

Just getting back on topic. September 12 2014 - 7,554 September 12 2015 - 6,282 So we're 1,272 down, which is probably a large part were/are Villa bandwongers. Not bad tbh.
