Port v Sturt and Norwood v Glenelg potential double header week 1 of finals, come on SANFL, promote the 5hit out of this. No AFL, double header at AO, needs to be 20,000+

Massive thanks to the SAFC for inviting us to play our home game (u15's) as the curtain raiser at Hickinbotham this Saturday before South/Crows.

Especially considering we are not in their zone, they do a lot of things right down there off the field.

Probably struggle to get 7,000 even with promotion and heaps of free tix

Even though Saturday is free would it be beneficial to hve them on Sunday with local comps finals?

8000 last weekend across the Port v Norwood and Eagles v Adelaide games.

Thought that, or make the double header a twilight elimination into a night qualifying.

I might go if its a Sunday but only because Im getting paid for it, having the day off if its Saturdy as theres too much on.

If Glenelg were playing on Sunday id go to see them for the first time since 2013.

Apart from the GF,
nowadays finals should be played in the suburbs and not as double headers.
The time has passed for this old thinking/ strategy.
Crowds will bomb again at AO as most followers will leave after the first game.
Time to create some suburban atmosphere with promotion and much needed income.
Maybe next year we will see a change.

With fine weather the SANFL should definitely be aiming for this figure.

Glenelg v West is a 2:40pm start, the other 4 matches at 2:10pm.

Oh good, that should stretch the Bays' season out by another half hour...

Don't worry mate, you'll beat Westies. When have they ever broke your heart before?

If it is a 10,000 plus crowd it would be worthwhile turning the lights on.

Bloody good idea.

Over to the SANFL now.

Hopefully not. All stakeholders need to be considered in this.

SANFL players and officials deserve the opportunity to play at Adelaide oval given their emotional and time commitment to SANFl footy since Nov the previous year.

No SANFL oval apart from Woodville has the the space capacity (changerooms wise) for double headers (Potentially four different clubs with senior teams playing at the same location.

Spectators need to be taken into consideration but the people who commitment to their SANFL club for over 10 months a season do to.

It is for this reason League finals continue to be held at the SANFL's best playing field....plus as a neutral who wants to trek to Elizabeth or Noarlunga to watch some footy between 2 teams they don't support?

Do the teams get to use the Port/Crows rooms or get chucked into the cricket rooms?

If finals were played at suburban grounds, who says it has to be a double header?

If Port or Crows are playing they get to use their rooms. Everyone else gets either the cricket rooms or the away AFL room
