Port have the most fans, they just don't turn up every week.
If you want a gauge of current support, you'd need to look at average crowds, not just for home games but across all games.
At a guess I'd say Glenelg.

Sturt has TRUE Blue supporters who stay loyal to the Double Blue jumper always.


How come so many of them seem to also barrack for Port Power?

Bayman I think your question needs a bit of context - if you just query overall numbers vs those who go to games, I reckon you'll get a different outcome than just looking at which clubs pull the most supporters to games.

I remember being told once by a club official that a survey found that Norwood had something like 1/4 or a 1/3 of the population barracking for the club as its nominated team. If only than was reflected better in our fluctuating membership nos of recent years.

I think he left out the part that said the survey was conducted on the Parade.

Not many Glenelg supporters at Pospect, 10-15% perhaps.

How come so many of them seem to also barrack for Port Power?

A very good question......because the so called "talent scouts" at the Crows are challenged ! The Sturt / Port Power alliance is very healthy and has some history........

Bearing in mind of course that the current Port Magpies are actually Ethelton a new club in the SANFL and Port Power are the continuation of the Port Adelaide Magpies in the AFL. So I do wonder how true blue SturtPeters Double Blue people are when they go with Port Adelaide? :wink:

I can't take credit for that, if it was a Coopers comp I would though.

I feel I can look at things from a non biased point of view, I feel whichever club is performing the best tends to get the most posts on SAFooty, I'd think Sturt and Glenelg would be leading the way and righfully so at the moment, North wouldn't be close IMHO.

The sound of the teal velcro patches being ripped off the Port supporters gear is deafening. Expect the Port Magpies bandwagon to swell markedly over the next few weeks...

Also expect to hear why is Wilbur wearing 5 instead of 15????
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Wedgie you are correct one again...Norwood, Port...daylight.
Look at the records crowds in this state...from memory 7 of the 10 feature Norwood or Port.

I think Sturt would be third but only when they are winning.
Bays seemed to drop off the radar when the Crows came into existence.
Centrals must be getting close to Sturt though.
