cadete Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Aami is such an amazing stadium to watch sport, I don't care how far eithiad bring in their seats, aami is just so much better. The only thing eithiad has on aami is ease of access LOL - You do realise that Essendon fans voted on mass to have Etihad over the MCG as their Home Ground? Unpopular opinion but I don't mind Essendon playing @ Etihad, 5 train stops from my usual pre drinking spot, 1/4 of the time spent walking compared to the G, heaps more convenient for a majority of Essendon supporters. I stand at the footy so I therefore hate it as its the worst ground to stand out of the AFL grounds in Victoria and up there as the worst place to stand in the entire league.

Im of mixed opinion between you too. Like MaliMate, it is 4 stations from my house and the walk is simple and undercover. Changing trains etc to get to Jolimont or Richmond is fucked. That said, I also stand at the footy and Etihad is undeniably shit for standing room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue with Essendon at Etihad is it is such a big club it forces nearly every one of their matches to be fully reserved. The MCG is great to just wander up and choose wherever you want to sit, a much better experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heart_fan Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Wonder what is continuing to drive the numbers up? Is the Lampard talk forming part of it? With no other announcements, other than confirming the FFA Cup game will be in Ballarat, its hard to pinpoint this continued strong showing. Whatever it is, keep it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Based on the trend it looks like we'll have about 11k by the time the season starts. I think one thing this reflects is there has been a lot of latent interest out there, but they have been deterred by what I would summarise as "The Sidwell-Aloisi Factor". Now with that behind us and the bringing in of big name players Duff and Villa this is crystallising into memberships. I always felt that the membership and crowds we got last year, rather than poor, were close to miraculous given the dross that was dished out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandev Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Scarfs or jerseys will be a wise idea. Instant club apparel in the stadium, which would take a season or two for its members to acquire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heart_fan Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) ^^ Still ticking along. If Lampard is confirmed for a loan move here, it will be interesting to see if this does create a significant boost. His profile is big enough to cut through to the broader public, even those who only have a passing interest in the game. That may only bring casual fans though, not membership interest. We have to get results though to gain value from this move, as anything less will reduce the ability to translate that interest into ongoing support for the club once he leaves.
