Last year's crowd between Port Adelaide and Centrals at Alberton was 3,304, the year before the two sides attracted a crowd of 2,603. So I would hardly call a crowd of 3,048 "embarrassing", especially given that games involving Centrals are getting lower crowds, much more likely due to the poor onfield performance of Centrals than the no AFL obsession from some here. They are, after all, second to bottom! I know when we played Centrals a couple of weeks ago, there were significantly less travelling supporters than we've seen in previous years at Glenelg.
I should also ad that the previous two years, the Power played away on the weekends of the Port Centrals games at Alberton, and it goes without saying that that will inevitably have some impact on a Magpies crowd.
On the game itself, certainly a good effort from Centrals after quarter time. Will be interesting to see if they can take some momentum from their performance in that last three quarters in to next week and beyond.
No Surrender!
