Weather in the morning would have put some waverers off if it was anything like where I was more generally, even we had second thoughts and that's saying something. A later time slot would also have helped, but we know why that was not possible. In spite of all that there was still a year on year crowd increase for the first week of finals, a far cry from a record low that some were predicting-we fell to less than 6k in 2013. I fear my partner and I will be two of very few Crows there at 12:10 on Sunday, but we'll be there regardless. P.S obviously nobody on here talking about quiet Crows supporters were sitting near my partner and I; probably not a bad thing.
Are you suggesting that Crows reserves supporters somehow contributed to an increase in the crowd for this years elimination final? For that matter, are you suggesting the Crows reserves are a reason for increasing crowds from 2013?
No idea where you sat, but at the scoreboard there wasn't any support for the reserves. Biggest support group I saw was the flag bearers at the start of the game. That group ably demonstrated the Crows demographic, god bless em.
