I'm sick of how these two AFL clubs and the AFL as a whole corrupt facts and figures to spin bull$hit.
Anyone who was at Unley on Saturday would tell you that there'd be lucky to be 500 Adelaide supporters there and that'd be counting the supporters with both Adelaide and Sturt clobber on.


Yep agree off course the crows won't mention that in recent years Sturt have struggled on field while this year they had a good opening round win and no doubt alot of optimism amongst supporters.

It had to have been all the Sturt fans who went just to see the crows which brought the larger crowd

I was at Unley on Saturday and the Crows' crowd was minimal, dwarfed by double blue. That is undeniable. Those that were there were almost apologetically quiet. Even a half respectable turn out of crow would've boosted the crowd into the 5000-7000 range.

Let's be realistic, if they won't turn up to an eastern suburbs venue on a superb, sunny afternoon on a weekend when their AFL side is interstate, god knows what contribution they'll make by mid winter.

Wouldnt the hosting clubs know how many people actually paid to get in and how many used their crows season tickets. That would give some indication as to how many Crows fans are attending SANFL matches

No, as no one takes stats on which tickets are which. People have season passes, home match passes, Adelaide Oval memberships, etc etc.

There are 90 minor round matches this year, the same as last year. So, as far as total crowd figures go, we can make a direct comparison with last year that way.

3500 is a good crowd at unley. Only avg 2580 there last year with the highest attendance being 3406 and only 3 games in the 3k mark.

If the above is correct more people went to a Sturt home game on Sat than all of last year and North had its biggest home game crowd in almost 2 years and people are still whinging about it. Also worth noting that both record crowds were against a team that only had 200 or so supporters attending.

North 1st home crowd
Sat 13 April 2013 Rd 3 v Sturt - 3,301
Sat 31 March 2012 Rd 2 v South 2,173

Rd 7 Sat 18 May 2013 v Eagles - 3,131
Rd 11 Sun 16 June 2013 v Central - 3,493* highest Prospect crowd of the season
Rd 20 Sat 17 Aug 2013 v Eagles - 1,568

As mentioned in another topic biggest crowd in last 2 years was Sat 9 June 2012 Rd 11 v Norwood 4,134

Great read I love the line
Norwood polled its 2500 members this month on the reserves debate. There were 642 responses.

I guess 1858 Norwood members we so passionately against the AFL reserves teams playing they couldn't be bothered responding.

Its hard to get a read of what actual ratio of members voted when you dont know how many of then were kids(which would be a reasonable portion i would think) overseas supporters with less care factor and elderly who don't know what the internet is.

Didn't matter. The majority of respondents were ignored. The others probably thought there was no point as honest joe at that time, had categorically said they were voting no. A quote at the time something along the lines of a yes vote would turn the sanfl in to "parklands football".

so before the start of the season no one was going to attend games, but now it's because it's a novelty? Seriously how many more excuses are you guys going to come up with. Maybe it's because there are supporters out there that have moved on and just want to support there club.

Judging by Port's turnout at Norwood id say the novelty has already worn off. Was lucky to be 500 fans there, smallest Port crowd ive ever seen
