The build-up towards next weeks Grand Final

[Dirko]

I will be there for the 18s then go home again

I won't be going home, but after the half time Auskick thingy I will....

[Dutchy]

like last year i am sure the sanfl will give out oodles of freebies in order to have a decent crowd there

And so they should, the people that get them still have to make the decision to attend, and once they do hopefully they have a great day out and attend more games in 2011

Centrals get accused of having bandwagon supporters by some on here.
I wonder how big the Norwood bangwagon will be? Hopefully chockers, as it will boost the crowd significantly.

Considering we get 4000 to a game during the minor round, then 25-35,000 to the GF, I'm pretty sure the bandwagon is huge for all teams.

Forecast is for 25C on Sunday, hopefully it stays that way. That should attract a few more.

I'm sure there are plenty of "bandwagoners", but we should also take into consideration there are people who only go to watch the U18s and/or Reserves teams who are counted in the days attendences. So therefore you will get people from 6 clubs attending the finals. But then this should increase all finals games attendances, not just the GF

I know a few too many Glenelg people who didnt go to last weeks Prelim who are attending GF this week, so am guessing other clubs have the same

i dont think there was a bumper crowd the last time 6 clubs were represented in GF's.

happy to be proven wrong though

Anyone know what's happening with the Grand Final 'parade' on Saturday. Is it still going to go ahead on Saturday, considering I doubt 5AA would be available for it and people will probably be getting ready for the AFL Grand Final replay.

I reckon it should be shifted to 7:00pm Friday night. Have KG and Rowey do their sports show from the stage, then have the presentations. If anything, this should increase the attendance as there will be many people in or near town who would most likely stick around for something like this. If it's wrapped up by 8:00pm, it's not too late for families either.

EDIT: http://cdfc.com.au/cms/index.php?option ... 0&Itemid=2

The presentation has been moved back to 11:00am Saturday morning. For those planning to go to the Slowdown (and don't want to drive in and out of the City), the AFL Grand Final replay will be screened as a 'curtain raiser' to the Slowdown at Adelaide Oval - gates open 1:00pm.

Both teams would be training Fri night?

I think...
Centrals train at AAMI on Wed night and again on Saturday for a light run through;
Norwood train at AAMI on Friday night and the Parade on Wed night.

Would be nice if the SANFL/Clubs could release a schedule of events for the next week so fans can make their plans....

Norwood have a good following so I will predict over 35 000. Would they get more if it was a night game ?

Only if they served Coopers
