That Glenelg Oval Crowd

[sturtpeter]

There was a Sand Bag involved and ironically it occurred at Brighton Road in that game in 1968.

Just for the record, Sturt beat Port in the 1968 GF that Season.

Sturtpeter, I assume the sturt supporter who threw the sandbag had a very professional, outstanding and ferocious throwing technique?

Tiger Cubs! - I don't think so.Why is everybody talking as though ALL the crowd were there to support Glenelg.I go to EVERY Sturt game and I saw people there that haven't been to the footy for years,dressed in their Double Blue colours.The many people around me , in front of the cricket club were definitely pro-Sturt and I do acknowledge the crowd was probably split 60-40 in favour of the Bays,as it should have been at their home ground, but please a little credit must go to the Sturt followers as well!!

P.S.The SANFL don't count the children(all those under 18 yrs)as part of the crowd numbers

Nah good point I was generalising. To me that was teh highlight of the day the amount of kids in the crowd. They are the future of the SANFL. We need to work to ensure we don't lose them as they will carry on teh legacy of this great comp.

Expansion into new areas - inter or intra state - isn't the panacea to ensure the SANFLs survival, it is the kids - the adults of tomorrow that will enahnce and grow this great competition.

Dunno mate.

Was in Boy Cubs at that time so not at the game.

I do remember, however, legendary Bay Ruckman, Doug Long was involved somehow?

He kicked the goal, but as said, it wasn't counted.
