The Roos drew 12,448 fans to their round eight encounter with Port Adelaide in 1997, and 12,958 spectators two rounds later when it took on the West Coast Eagles. And while the club will be looking to draw a crowd in the high teens to break even on gate receipts this year, Walsh was eager to promote the positives.
http://kangaroos.com.au/?pg=printerfrie ... leid=47759Butterss said the break-even crowd figure for Colonial Stadium was "simply too high" for now at 27-28,000.
http://carltonfc.com.au/default.asp?pg= ... leid=48527Whats that got to do with anything J?
for example... is it walk up punters who pay to get in thaT make the dosh on the day?
Does club membership change the dynamics??
For example.. the club already has 34k worth of members money... right???
Ok... so those people dont pay to get in... follow???
so opposition supporters pay to get in right???
And non members.
supposing our members are higher than Norths... which it is...
But supposing in 1998 we had a membership of 20k..... 10 k rocked up to the ground as members... 14k paid to get in (average crowd 24k) and we broke even.....
Then suppose we had a membership of 34k (2005) and 20k rocked up to a game.. and 4k were non payers... (24,000 attendance)
I wanna know how the hell do those figures get worked out???
all we know is John Elliott said we break even at 14,000 at Optus.. what the fuc k does that mean???
If 14k members came to the ground didnt pay a cent we break even???
Is that the same Jack Elliott that was going to sign an affidavit that the club didnt cheat the salary cap?
Was that the same Jack Elliott that thought the Legends stand was a ripper idea.,.???
Is that the same Jack Elliott that was trading insolvent and bankrupted??
Butters... hmmmmmmmmmmm... bitching cos they cant get a crowd... is he bitching now???
What was their profit last year???
And North are bitching ten years later that life is too hard...
SO WHAT???????
