Anecdotal evidence on this site suggests only a few hundred Crows supporters are turning up to games, so the 'positive' impact of the Crows on attendances is marginal at best.

Without trying to defend the Crows here (see my signature) didn't Rucci just do an article on how that 4,000 figure was all a myth and the Crows actually said their games would average 3,000+ total?The Advertiser has gained a copy of the Crows’ submission made to the SANFL club presidents and chief executive officers last year and there is no 4000 figure in the presentation made in July.
Rather, it suggests 3000 is the realistic crowd for SANFL games featuring the Crows.
The paper reads: “Attendances are difficult to predict. However, if our season ticketholders (24,000) had access to the (SANFL) games, we believe that at least one in 20 would attend our games.
“Based on this realistically we believe that crowds at these games would average 3000 which is similar to current SANFL crowd averages.”
The Crows also made financial predictions for these games for the SANFL clubs.
Adelaide plays every SANFL game - except the home SANFL derby against the Port Adelaide Magpies - at the home ground of its rivals which keep the return in the car parks, the canteens and the bars.
Adelaide argued every fan equates to $7 in the cash register.
“Any financial predictions,” the Crows submission says, “will be based on crowds of 2000 to maintain a conservative approach.”
With an average crowd of 3765 so far, the Crows will argue they have added $52,710 into the coffers at Prospect and Unley.
That is probably another figure that will create an argument ...

And I don't think the Haarlem Globetotters play by the same rules as the rest. Oh hang on...their games really are a farce

Umm, no it's only a problem when there's a team of full time professionals playing a team of semi professionals. Sorry, thought it was pretty obvious.
