Round 10 South v North (Noarlunga on Saturday)

Crowd 1,164

Perfect day for footy and South flying, those sub 1000 crowds are not far away

1,164. Fewer than the same match-up / venue last year in R13, the same round that averaged a touch over 1500 people over five matches. That round was colder, damper and neither of these sides were doing as well as currently.

Strewth, that's an ominous stat.
I reckon the sub 1000 crowds are on their way. Sturt's crowd of 3,300 yesterday would have been in the 5,000s in previous years, given the importance of the game. It looks as though that is the new upper limit for us in minor round games. When we played South a few weeks back we drew about 3,000 odd then as well. Not good for top v second.

There was a sub 1000 crowd in 1999. South vs Central at Noarlunga that year only drew 950 people.

There were certainly a few hundred North supporters on the hill.

I said to a South supporter that I thought that they would have had a bigger support given how well they are going. He responded that there would have been more at the local Southern league games. He maintains that South get better crowds on Sundays when the locals aren't playing.

On what day was last year's game played?

Yep, that was the Sunday.
