Port Adelaide 2017

Yeah it's obvious you will get more to a Saturday arvo/night game when no local footy is on but what's the answer?
Local footy is here to stay so you can't use that as an excuse each week.
Bottom team or not, poor game time or not, it was a poor crowd.

Rubbish! Look at the crowds at all other matches last weekend, it was a good crowd.

Compare yourself to rubbish and rubbish you will be!

If you were to average that each week you'll need tarps at the ready and your hand out again for an AFL lifeline.

We've made progress amber, progress.

Soon you'll be holding your scarfe over your head singing 80s ballads.

I go to 4-5 Power games a year as my mates are supporters to catch-up and have a few beers.
Each and every time they think it's funny to wave their scarfe in my face as they play that stupid INXS song, and each and every time I want to knock their block off!

Stop pie bashing you bastards. A mans job is on the line here.

I think Ken is safe for at least another year, no need for concern.

Serious question......... if they were to miss finals again given their good run with injuries this year, will Ken still be there in 2018?
Me thinks not!

It'll happen eventually mate. You're a caterpillar turning into a beautiful butterfly amber_fluid. Its so humbling to see nature take it's course.

There's not a lot of other options floating around is there?

[morell]

Would depend on how we play IMO.

If we continue this mosquito fleet total football dutch rudder palaver and miss finals I would say the first quarter of season 2018 would be his last chance.

I'm sure there are a few assistants around looking for the next step.
We hear of Burns, Dew etc but I'm sure there are others.

No point sticking with something if it ain't working......
But they are sitting 4th currently so Ken is looking good for the time being.

[UK Fan]

Second lowest crowd in the AO era behind a Giants game last year

3rd.

Port have had two games under 30000 already.

I heard that Centrals got over a thousand at one of their games. Definitely a mistake not to admit them into the AFL.

I think it is a real thrill for them to interact with Carlton supporters. Probably they all go home and note down how a class football supporter reacts when confronted by scarfe waving dickheads.

Also what was the average for the weather/temperature/precipitation on those nights and what TV shows were on that night which were good viewing?

[MW]

all factors! lol

Yep according to Port supporters they are legitimate excuses as to why crowds are down.

So Saturday twilight ( when almost footy legends are still playing ) is the only time slot to average under 40k. Gee whiz, you'd need to have a pretty sad life to make too much of Port's crowds.

Get more people to the games.

[MW]

Sell more 11 game memberships which will make more people feel the need to attend rather than padding out membership numbers by selling an individual multiple 3 x game memberships.
