The 2015 Attendance Comparisons Thread

[saintal]

Honestly, I don't get it.

fudging figures me thinks, either we are getting dodgy figures now or the clubs were given misleading figure beforehand making us think these one are wrong.

there is no way the crowds at Centrals are up from the very few games i have been to this year.

Absolutely. I say the figures are total BS. I have been to all but the Adelaide/Power games and the crowds are way down, you almost know everyone at the game by sight.

Dont forget we are coming off a very low base considering some of the ultra low attendances last year. Even if they are slightly up so far this year, the important point is that they are still at an extremely low level, and you wonder how badly that will affect finances moving forward.

True. In 2010 the Doggies averaged 3143 at Elizabeth. So in 5 years home crowds have fallen about 1000. South, Norwood, West and Glenelg have also seen significant declines over that period.

Another low, the 1821 at Prospect is the lowest attendance between North and Central at that venue, previous was 1983, Rd 19 2008

The records just keep on coming

[Wedgie]

Crowds of 1534, 1134, 1844, 1071 & 1536, that would have to be an all time low record wouldn't it?
I didn't realise the SANFL would die such a quick death with the admittance of the two AFL reserves side.

Yep, not actually fussed anymore. The gutless clubs are reaping what they sowed

[Panther Pack]

Yep completely agree less people are going no matter how the SANFL spin it but thats the choice they made....

[Apachebulldog]

Getting close to that magical 1,000 or less fans at SANFL games as predicted by some on this site we are not very far behind the WAFL now.

Thank you SANFL for FAAARRKKING UP our competition !!

NO AFL IN THE SANFL !

[topsywaldron]

But it was wet yesterday chaps and the SANFL has never been played in wet. cold conditions before.

That's the only reason for the decline in attendance.

[Aerie]

I haven't seen a game yet, but looking forward to getting on the Eagles bandwagon come September!

Im sure there is room on the Eagles bandgwagon, it is only a 7 seater afterall

Meanwhile crowds are up at grassroots footy, is there any need for the SANFL anymore?

The 1071 is the lowest ever crowd at Woodville Oval; record before was this match: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17056

The 1536 at Alberton is the lowest ever crowd there apart from a couple of estimated attendances in 1903 and 1945; record before was 1,777 for Port vs Glenelg, Rd 15 2002; Port vs Central was some 1011 more in this match: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=36511

The 1134 is the lowest attendance at Prospect between North and Glenelg apart from three estimated figures and the 2nd lowest actual figure overall behind 1122 at this match: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=29686

The 1534 at Richmond is the lowest attendance between West and Sturt; previous lowest was 1536 in Round 17 1993

There have only been six lower attendances at Norwood; four of them were estimated attendances.

Now the wet weather has hit, the attendances have dropped even further.

I have wondered if that's where we're heading.

[Wedgie]

Start a SAFA.

[FlyingHigh]

Me too. Have wondered whether it's time to shut the whole thing down while there is still a bit of dignity and with a whiff of a one-fingered salute.
Mind you, that dignity is being torn to shreds.
Let the AFL set up four soulless u/18 and u/21 teams and the Crows and Port can have similar to play against

Big Phil and Phil H - Have you had any recent dialogue with the SANFL on the latest crowd figures? Is the question being asked?

Still a better atmosphere at Prospect on Saturday, IMO, than the last SFL game I went to (Flagstaff hill v Christies) had to leave at qtr time due to the dullness.

[Wedgie]

There was atmosphere at Prospect?
Never heard the place so quiet and actually completely silent for minutes on end.
SFL has much better atmosphere but there may be a difference from Flagstaff Hill and Christies games to games Ive been to involving Reynella, Morphett Vale, Porties and Noarlunga. Flaggies have always been a quite sterile club.

Jake Parkinson will be able to quote key indicators such as website activity and media interest increasing - everyone's interested in how quickly the thing is falling apart.
