Rd 14 2008 South v Norwood (Noarlunga) Preview

[Matt the Panther]

Glenelg are averaging 6,000 at home games?
Is that correct? Wow.

[sturtpeter]

Looking forward to getting down to the game to catch up with a few Redleg buddies.

at this early stage I can envisage a Competitive game with Norwood to just get over the line.

the Legs by 3-4 goals.

[panthers 2008]

Souths got a good chance of winning this one if the right attitude is brought to the game.
With Lade and Parry in the ruck,and one of them more than likely to go forward,it will be a bonus for us.
We really should have knocked off the eagles the other weekend,and if we can jag this game it will hopefully give the playing group and coach some confidence for the remainder of the season.
Big game panthers,lets finally get back on the winners track!!!!!!!

Another draw?

Yeh why not .. or it'll be a kick's difference either way

[TigerBoss]

I'd expect Norwood to win this one comfortably...

[Big Phil]

I'd expect Norwood to win this one comfortably...

I disagree Tigerboss...

South will have a handy inclusion in the ruck with B.Lade from the Power and although I don't think he will be the differnce I think the home side might be a chance. Just have to wait and see, but I reckon the Noarlunga faithfull parking around the ground will toot their horns and cheer loud enough to just see their side get over the line in a tough battle...

Panthers by a point for me...

[prowling panther]

There were a couple of sub 1000 attendances in the thirties, but in 1999 South and Central had 950 attend at Noarlunga.

I'm glad I went that day otherwise there would have only been 949

[MST]

crowds at home for Sturt and North seem much lower than I would have expected?

Considering that at Unley anything over 4,000 makes for a pretty tight fit*, I would suggest that an average of 3,900+ is excellent.

We have played Port at home on a Power game day so they didn't travel and also Westies.....and you can usually do a head count of their supporters at our ground. So all in all I would say our crowds are really healthy.

I would also hazard to guess that all of our away games (Norwood, North, South, Eagles x2 and Glenelg) have handed the home side their best attendances to date so we pull crowds both at home and away.

Cue Spelly for the details....

8TH - NORTH Avg 2325 (6gms)
9TH - WEST Avg 1764 (5gms)
