Rd 13: 2,163 Norwood vs Port @ Norwood
Rd 14: 2,272 Eagles vs Port @ Woodville
Rd 15: 2,581 Glenelg vs Eagles @ Glenelg
Rd 15: 2,440 Sturt vs Port @ Unley
And the top two as previously been pointed out were lowest crowds between the clubs at that venue.
I think we've passed the tipping point now. Poor crowds further detract from the competition, creating a self feeding cycle of diminishing crowds, diminishing atmosphere. If the AFL sides eventually piss off and take their cash incentives with them, we will be without crowds and the monetary benefit. Could we be facing a future where the competition becomes impoverished by these two mockingbirds before they fly the nest leaving a mere shadow of the comp the SANFL once was?
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail
