Attendance for Aussie game

[WiggoTiger]

Looking at the ticket website it looks worryingly like spaces everywhere apart from middle of Cat stand, are the prices to high, KO time affecting commuters or do folk realise that it will be both teams third string playing??

A bit concerned!!

[TigerCam]

Three of us going Maybe it's the Tuesday night that is putting people off?

Certainly won't see me heading up the A14 on a Tuesday night.

Only if your going to Bedford??

A 'cash cow' match - of no importance whatsoever apart from money .

i would say it's the thought of the third team that has put the estimated attendance to be minimal bad timing by the club for this fixture

[Purebob]

My family will be going because its AWESOME to have a national touring squad play MY HOME TEAM. Doesn't happen for many.

and I was SO PROUD of the lads against the Boks it would feel, erm, unfaithful not to attend this one.

It's also on ESPN!

Dead right Purebob. Unfortunately I will be in the States on business so will miss this one and, now they have moved the Quins match to the Friday night (17th) I will miss that as well - I had just about sorted it to be back in time for a Sat 3pm KO.

Prices don't seem too hig to me - not considering this is essentially my beloved team versus an international side.

Unsure as to why this isn't selling as well as the South Africa game last year.

Last year we had an Anglo-Welsh game the weekend before, South Africe mid-week, and then a league game the weekend after.

This time we have Anglo-Welsh before AND after so potentially we could be seeing a stronger side than we did last year.

The noise last year when we were defending hard and stopping South Africa even making it to the halfway line for the last 10 minutes was hair raising - I don't think many grounds

ever get that loud, even at football with 50,000+ fans

Much like the SA game which was a sell out...

I think most people would say that last year the South Africe game was an awesome spectacle and a great way to give some people a run out who wouldn't get such high-class opposition very often

Totally agree - bring on the Wallabies!

And then next year we can thump the All Blacks after they choke and crash out of yet another World Cup.

Not many international sides can do a clean sweep of the southern hemisphere - would be nice if a club could do the same!

Quite simply, I think the bottom line is cash. The country is in a different financial climate to when we stuffed the Boks last year and this game against the Wallabies is perhaps one game too many for a lot of folk.

The sell-out last season was fantastic but I think there'll be swathes of red visible in the A&L on the 9th.

This is true for us BJ. Especially in the run up to Christmas I'm having to be ultra careful the matches I take my family to see. We haven' been to any away games yet this season ( apart fro notts pre-season) , unusual for us, and only ( Leinster) Exeter and Leeds. Just can't afford it, as so many of my family loves to come it costs me at least a family bronze ticket to come each time.

Aus is my family and a few friends going , but it means we chose between that and Quins on Friday. Grim times financially mate you're right.
