SA Footy

It staggers me that the crows sell out every week however yesterday we have both Adelaide teams playing and only 41.500 turn up leaving empty seats in the outer? I know it was Ports home game but where were all the regular Crows fans? Alright you need to go and pay for this game but its YOUR team playing against your cross town rival, surely if your a passionate fan you would get there....SOFT....

BTW I see the Roos were the biggest crowd drawing team to AAMI this year with 47,000, beat Collingwood, Essendon, Port...

OK... so its the Crows supporters fault that it wasnt a sellout Dutchy are you Rucci in disguise???..god forbid Port supporters show up to support their team at their home game...

Crows are the ones with the supporter base yet didnt turn up...lets do some calculations -

Crowd - 41,500
less Port Members 25,000
TOTAL 16,500

Normal Crows crowd 43,000, therefore there were 26,500 soft crows fans who decided not to bother and support their team when needed the most....my question WHY?

Good to see the Roos get that many to Footy Park. Maybe they should move their home games there as they get sweet FA here in Melbourne.

No wonder they draw dick when all of their fans live in Adelaide. All 43,000 of them LMAO.

It cracks me up when these broke Port Power ferals, who can afford all their booze and cigarettes but can't afford to go to the footy, blame us Crows supporters for not selling out THEIR home game!

cant add up MW...look at the equation above...another example of crows fans not doing themselves any credit

Essendon/Collingwood games for example - their attendences dont change on whose home game it is! a game in their home city - they go to the game...simple really

they get one more over here than in Melbourne...me!...based on our membership base that might be enough to get more here!

It would work much in the same way as Crows games...

there are 25000 allocated seats for port season ticket holders, and all other tickets (bar 1300 I think) which were sold to the public.

54 odd thousand minus 1300 does NOT equal 41000 therefore I would suggest that the season ticket holders (and probably a few members) were the ones that failed to make an appearance yesterday.

Junior sport finals and the early start probably didnt help the cause....

Whats with the violins? You were the one that started whinging in the first place...

Im a crows supporter but i was more than glad to only serve beer to 3/4 of the ferals i normally would... didnt make any difference though, still a flat out day!

A bit rich coming from a Roo's supporter, your club was so successful thru the 90's and still had to give away tickets and memberships........ pathetic

everytime the Roos play here I go...pity the same cant be said for a large majority of your fans


giving away tickets and memberships? I look forward to you providing some proof of that...

Enjoy the Roos as a single entity while you can cause it is just a matter of time before they merge or even better, fold.

Dutchy

I forgot you are the entire Roo's supporter base, my apology

on the other side of the coin i think crows fans travel more then any other

again, please provide me with some proof on why and how this is going to occur?

accepted...I agree they do travel and that makes it even funnier, they will go interstate but not to West Lakes!
