Must say Im surprised at the numbers Port Power averaged in the early days with 2006 being the start of the large decline.

Those attendance figures make s one think why all that money is being spent on Adelaide Oval, it was already big enough before the building started. The only thing that will raise crowds is if the two local franchises see some success.

SANFL crowds were up by around 10% on 2010, 5% in 2011, down by 3% in 2012 and sadly I don't reckon 2013 is going to support your cause.

I cant see how an increase of 10% and 5% followed by a drop of 3% is a gradual decline.

It isn't. It is a net increase of 1.4% over the three years. Clearly percentages aren't beeny's strong point - but then a few posters here have known this for a while

Makes me wonder why money was ever spent on Football Park. What need did Port Power have of more seats, except as a frame over which to stretch its sponsor's advertising?
