So who are the rest of the supporters then? Sanfl fans that also have crows members tickets?
That's a possibility - if you are a Crows member and support a local team perhaps you are more likely to attend if its free - but you would attend wearing your SANFL club colours.
But overall I think the detail is confusing the argument.
The fact is there has been a steady decline in attendance for the past 15 years. This year will do nothing to change that - numbers will be similar to last year. However the $s for clubs will drop as some people are getting in for free who didn't use to.
The picture will become clearer when clubs report on their financial situation.
