Crowds

There was an article recently regarding Ports attendance figures in the Advertiser. I don't buy or subscribe to it however the headline suggested a decline in their numbers . Can someone share it ? I am surprised its a story . No different than Crows crowds.

Not really it's called Google. I'm sure you'll find the article you are looking for on the Interweb somewhere.

It's not actually magic....oh you know what I don't bother. You please yourself.

The crowd pulling power of the Port Adelaide Magpies has plummeted so alarmingly they are averaging the worst home figures after six rounds this season.

The Magpies have had games against South Adelaide, North Adelaide and Central District at Alberton Oval and are averaging just 1705 fans to rank lower than regular bottom-placed Panthers at Noarlunga Oval.

That is a stunning 48 per cent decline on the 3251 average in 2014 when the Magpies became the Power reserves.

The Magpies are the only team to have recorded a drop in numbers for games at all venues this year. The crowd average for games involving the Magpies is 2078, with only West Adelaide below them on 2036. Last season, the Magpies averaged 2341, a figure boosted by the 7965 crowd at Unley Oval for the Anzac Day clash against Sturt.

The average for all state league games this season is 2564, compared to 2502 after six rounds last year. The minor round average for 2018 was 2242.

North Adelaide, which hosted the Anzac Day game against Norwood, has fed off its premiership triumph to average 3274 fans at Prospect Oval and be the biggest pulling club, followed by the Double Blues on 3252. Norwood and Glenelg also have averaged more than 3000 fans.

The Doubles Blues have proved the most popular club with an average of 3543 at their six games. Adelaide has averaged 2370 without a home game.

Port Adelaide executive general manager Matthew Richardson said the club looked at its community as a whole.

“Never before in our club’s 149-year history have more Port Adelaide supporters been attending our games,” he said. “Every second weekend on average more than 42,000 supporters collectively attend either Port Adelaide games at AFL or SANFL level.

“We take a bigger picture view and look at our community as a whole. The facts are clear. Across the last five years Port Adelaide has had more supporters attending our games than at any other time in our club’s history.”

The Magpies and Crows will meet in the SANFL Showdown at Alberton on Saturday. In 2014, the games attracted 6196 at Alberton Oval and 5312 at Clare. Last year, it was 2451 at Alberton and 2310 at Kadina.

The Crows have averaged 2529 for their 96 games since entering the state league in 2014, while it is 2483 for the 33 games at Alberton Oval.

Home crowd averages: North 3274 (2093 in 2018), Sturt 3252 (3575), Norwood 3069 (2897), Glenelg 3045 (2059), Eagles 2203 (2176), West 2147 (1880), Central 2097 (1998), South 1733 (1441), Port 1705 (1956).

All games this season: Sturt 3543 (3175), Norwood 3184 (2660), North 2916 (2275), Glenelg 2864 (2067), Eagles 2414 (2193), Adelaide 2370 (2167), Central 2144 (2010), South 2099 (1756), Port 2078 (2341), West 2036 (1860).

That's completely wrong, the PAFC certainly give a shit, it's just that the priority is ( and should be ) the AFL side first and foremost.

Since 2014 the Magpies have been about development for our senior side playing AFL.
PAFC. Forever.

No they don't give a shit about the SANFL crowds, if they did they would address it rather than deflect.

I guess the positive is they don't try to hide it anymore, time to add some teal to the prison bars.

The spokesman reckons every second weekend they average more than 42,000. By every second weekend I gather they are indicating Adelaide Oval games. Port Power AO average this year is 38464, last year 38227 and 2017 38136.

38464 + 1705 = 40169 which is lower than 42,000, not more.

2014 Power AFL Adelaide Oval average 44,364, 2015 43,086 and 2016 39,332.

So they have not averaged more than 42,000 since the 2016 season. For the sake of state and the half billion + of public funds that it took to increase their crowds, I hope Port Power's crowds don't tank like they did in 2012 (19,911.)

The article mentions Port Magpies . Its very clear its about the SANFL. How much spin and crap does this mob talk. Lowest AFL crowd at AO last week.

The facts are Port SANFL crowds are poor .

Oh! So what he is saying is that Port also have about 2,000 IMAGINARY supporters that turn up every second week to Port games. Interesting that he chose the number 2,000, as it indicates that in the minds of Port's board members, there are more imaginary Port Magpies fans than real ones who actually attend games.
Or perhaps he's referring to the 4,000 imaginary crows fans who are supposedly turning up week in week out? If Adelaide has them, Port must have them too?
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail
