The 76,424 crowd figure at the Richmond’s Round 22 home game against Essendon at the MCG was the highest for an AFL Friday night match in five years.
You have to go back to the Carlton v Collingwood clash in Round 15 of the 2013 season for a bigger Friday night attendance – 78,224.
Richmond’s home crowd average this season, with one game to go, is 61,592 – the best in the Club’s history.
The Tigers’ previous best home crowd average was 55,958 in their 2017 premiership year.
