That was my thinking for choosing Central.

Oakbank will be there next year but Central may not play another ANZAC day match for 35 years.

Plus my misses is due to give birth any day and Oakbanks a bit far to be away.

There is only bout 10 minutes difference whufc.

Good point by sleeping giant. She would of had to driven herself again.

Would have been a lot harder to get a taxi, and if it came to worse i could have got the train home.

There were 3 helicopters in the paddock next to the track.

Now that would have been an entrance to the hospital.

LOL

Just disappointed i didnt bump into the Weed yesterday

[HeartBeatsTrue]

Reckon the crowd figure was about right.

There were a lot less people around where I sat than the game a couple of weeks ago v Sturt and the people on the southern hill you could count on one hand.

As for the food outlets... Tried the only open outlet in the western stand twice. Qtr time there was too long a queue. Right on the half time siren there was a short queue but fk all food ready. I ended up paying $8 for a bottles of lift and water.

Plenty of medium/rare Rib Eye up in the member's!

I find it amusing the comments made in the early days of this forum and late Footy SA days as to why the crowds were so low because we were a part of the matches. Now the excuses have been shifted to holidays, amateur clubs using the day as a fixture too and so on.

What was the deal with that 2009 crowd??

[Mr Irate]

What was the deal with that 2009 crowd??

western stands were down/closed off and it was bucketing down......

[Dog_ger]

Get this many to Adelaide Oval today to have more people attend football matches rather than the AFL sideshow over the weekend.

Outside chance?

Impossible to compete with AFL, nut....

Ah of course, cheers mate.

[Brucetiki]

Was also up against 3 other SANFL matches as well

[dedja]

You can all stop now, I think Spermy's got the picture ...

And for the record, my comment is made by not taking 2009 into account. I can definitely understand why people did not go that day. The wind (and the chill factor) alone was bad enough.

[The Sleeping Giant]

I remember that day. North played Sturt at Unley. Terrible conditions.
