2011 SANFL Draw

[GirlPower74]

I'm with you on that one.

Chandler said the other night they hadnt worked out how it was going to work for club members yet, therefore Id be giving the NFC and SFC as much feedback as possible before decisions are made. Esp as Port arent going to make $ if they allow season ticket holders/kids in for free

?

If port dont allow Season Tickets and kidds in for free then its a disgrace and the fans of NFC and SFC and any other club in the future playing a curtain raiser should be entitled to some compensation on their season tickets

Why assume its Ports decision? Surely this will be an SANFL decision how they structure pricing for these two matches.

Hopefully, season ticket holders just need to show their ticket at the ticket booth then get given a free ticket for the match. Makes sense to me.

Wont happen. Cant see the afl letting sanfl members in for free. They will want full tote prices for adults and kids.
Havnt received a reply from NFC yet but not paying twice for same game. Ive paid my membership which included ALL home and away games, not paying a second time to attend

Port are doing this to make more $ no doubt, so if they get less than 30k to the double headers they will be considered failures. Personally I cant see them getting many more than their usual average. The first game of the might have a chance being the season opener but the Sturt game in June starting at 11.15am?

Are Port trying to get Sturt/Norwood fans to the game to try and convert them to the AFL animal?

Seriously this mob are a bunch of amateurs, put something into place and they still don't know how its going to work.
You would think they would have discussed this with all parties before making it official in the draw, absolute clueless at best

I think that they are trying to convert those Port Magpies fans that are non Powder Puff fans.

wrong to assume, I apologise for that

Does the NFC/SFC season tickets have the 2 AFL games added like some other clubs? If so I presume they may make these games the ones you can attend

Not that im aware of.
That would help but still got to pay for my lad

Precisely. As well as the inactive Power/Maggies supporters. There are lots out there who consider themselves Port fans (often of both varieties) who don't go to eithers games. This will be a great opportunity to get them along to see the two reunified clubs playing on the one day.

Regarding the two curtain raisers the second one - Magpies v Sturt followed by Power v Carlton makes sense, as I suspect that more than a few Sturt fans also follow Carlton.

The first one - Magpies v Norwood as a curtain raiser for Port v West Coast doesn't make much sense, it should have been Magpies v Eagles or Power v Melbourne. Or combine Glenelg with Richmond or Centrals & Western Bulldogs or Westies and Essendon.

As a supporter who follows SANFL and AFL keenly, a curtain raiser is a rather attractive idea and I'd be more likely to go to the double game than either of the single ones.

Pretty sure this was available to all season ticket holders not just a few sets of fans, and the tickets were for 2 people per season ticket. So if you had one, you could go with your lad to one of the selected AFL games.

Not sure whether it was available to those with home match passes only or just those with entry to home and away matches, but I'm sure the SANFL has some info buried somewhere on their site.

Wouldnt there be a large protion of centrals / hawthorn supporters? So a magpies / centrals game before a port / hawthorn game would make sense

Unlikely to happen, there would be more opposition supporters than Port supporters.

[JK]

Port v Norwood prior to a Showdown could have been an interesting idea, given how low the Showdown crowds have been in recent seasons

[redandblack]

Nonsense, CP, Westies are playing that curtain-raiser

LOL, laughing then, will be a sellout for sure

Again, that's a good argument for playing the Magpies games after the Power. Playing it pre-game usually results in empty seats at the start and AFL fans stuffing around getting to their seats getting in the way of people who are genuinely interested in what's happening on field.

If they play the Magpies after the Power, then the Magpies fans who haven't been converted might come in towards the end of an exciting game and be roped in. If they're already dead against they're just as likely as a Sturt or Norwood supporter to walk out after the SANFL game.

Then again, after 13 years everyone is probably hardwired into who they support and no amount of mucking about with curtain raisers is going to change a thing. It'll probably just annoy.

Yep I reckon you're right - given the Platten link for us old-timers and the Clarkson link for the newbies.

[goraw]
