Perhaps we could have the AFL game on the big screen at Adelaide Oval as a lot of people might want to stay home and watch it on TV ?
This to me seems like a great idea worthy of some more attention, with many positives.
This will not only be a plus to the SANFL, in terms of making money but also ultimatley getting crows people to an SANFL game, which should be a great advertisment of our league, the incentive for the crows supporters is somewhere for their supporters to meet and watch the crows game for those who dont get tickets. during half time of the afl the 3rd Qtr of Glenelg and South will be on, i doubt the crows supporters will just leave for 20 minutes, they will see what our brand of footy has to offer.
Its no great loss in terms of the big screen anyway, more than 80% of SANFL games are played with out a big screen anyway, and we manage just fine.
Adelaide oval had a similar type of idea during the World Cup, in which 9000 people turned up with around 24 hours notice, so i dont see why the SACA would not go for this, also with the extra potential $'s there are to be made.
will be a massive boost in terms of the crowd, which will give the Glenelg and South players abit of practice infront of a bigger Adelaide oval crowd ahead of the 1st week of finals, not to mention a better atmosphere to play in.
If everyone gets behind this and it is advertised for a couple days in the Advertiser on the Radio and on TV, as the place for crows supporters to meet to watch the game, this could easily bring in an extra 3000+ to the game. (and there is somthing to do during the 300 add's on and @ Qtr time, Half time etc)
Also what better oppourtunity for the SANFL to advertise their finasl series, particualrly when a crows win would mean they have the week off when we have our 1st week of finals.
I am there only to watch Glenelg belt "go Panthers" off the park and nothing else should distract from that. Anyway I hope Freo also belt Cows off park.
