Norwood had an estimated tally of 21,000 for the Round 6 1955 match between Norwood and Sturt. The highest actual tally for Unley is 22,015 for the Round 9 1968 clash between Sturt and Port.

The original question was for "home and away" fixtures.
The crowds listed for Footy Park and Adelaide are for GFs.
So what are the highest non-finals crowds for those grounds?

What games were they?
Was the Footy Park game the Sturt-Port 1 point thriller in '88?

So what was the crowd in '88?
Would have been nudging 35K?

I think Spelly hasn't included it because it was a double header.
IIRC the crowd was 38K

EDIT - 38213 was the crowd.

Yes, all attendances above were single matches.
