Thanks for that Phil. I forgot that the Glenelg v Sturt official crowd was that large. I remember thinking on the day that it might be around the 6,000 mark, but was disappointed when I heard the official figure. I used 3,800 as a reference because I heard that the crowd for Sturt v Norwood at Unley on Saturday was roughly around that mark.
Every game in that list involved either Sturt or Norwood, so my assumption that crowds should increase with these two sides (and Glenelg) doing well at the same time still holds water, for now...
So far we have had 2 crack 4K with the Queens Birthday and Eagles Carnival Day still to come.
I know it is a bit of sore point for South fans after they had made the Good Friday game their own, but scheduling here has contributed to at least one of those 4,000 plus crowds in 2017.
Just out of interest, what was the Anzac Day crowd for 2016?
I am just following up on the theory that conditions (weather, scheduling and which teams are doing well) this year, should be more conducive to bigger crowds than they were last year.
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail
