Message: [QUOTE="Locky’s Left Boot, post: 3065293, member: 9358"] Victoria in general have a better sporting culture and are more outgoing where they will attend sporting events no matter what. Plus AFL is a religion down there. So AFL matches in Victoria will always have high attendances as other external factors don’t stop them from turning up. I think part of it too is because of the set up of their sporting precincts and facilities where it is made easy for the average Joe to attend. I wouldn’t read too much into the Lions figures though. I do work out at the Gabba once a year and know the management out there. It’s been almost a ghost town there for the last half decade and the mood has been pretty damp to say the least. Most of their crowds in the past have been made up of travelling Victorians supporting the away side. It’s only pumping now because they are winning but good on them though as it’s still good for the city in general to have a successful team in one of the codes. I follow their results but don’t watch their games or AFL in general as I can’t stand it and get no enjoyment out of it. But from what I have heard they are playing an exciting brand of footy which also helps bring the fans in. If Brisbane were winning and playing like the Lions have all year, Broncos crowds would still beat it. Also doesn’t help that Lions constantly play Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon games which are more fan friendly than these abomination Thursday nights and constant Friday nights. [/QUOTE]
