I like this part...
SANFL crowds at the recently completed home-and-away series are down 13 per cent. Why?
Those without hidden agendas will note:
FANS do now compare the buzz of Adelaide Oval with all that is now seen as lacking at SANFL suburban venues. Some club leaders should spend some time on the terraces at Unley and Prospect to understand there is a problem.
No mention of his hidden agenda in writing the article.
Love your work Cennals05. Ruccis stuff is normally pseudo intellectual garbage and like most Murdoch hacks, driven by sales (except for the Australian of course ) and ideology (definitely including the Australian. )
Keep up the quality correspondence you are getting the better of him.
I am waiting on some answers from Kris Grant before I start my next attack. Just want to clarify a few points. If anyone else knows the answers to these questions, please post them.
- Do Port pay the $400000 fee like the Crows? I have read a lot about the Crows paying this but haven't seen Port mentioned anywhere.
As already mentioned no they do not. They are in the competition for free
- How much of the cost of a ticket do the home teams get? Do they get the full $14 or only a percentage?
Home teams get $12 of the $14 for a full paying attendee. If a person buys a home match ticket the club receives all of that money.
For full season tickets the SANFL get $32
- With the TV coverage does the sponsorship this has generated (RAA, IGA etc) only cover the $1mill cost or is there extra that is distributed to the clubs?
Clubs do not see any money from the TV generated sponsors
- On average how many people are walk up payees on the day compared to season ticket holders at a home game?
- They don't really have a way of knowing this one
Kris suggested that a few clubs are now re-thinking their decision to vote YES.

At the Glenelg "members information night" Chiggy's line was very much that I have made MY decision. We made it very clear to him what we felt in the meeting and also at the bar after the meeting but it was obvious that there was nothing we could have said that would have changed his mind.
PS I know this is a sample size of 1, but I went to 95% of Glenelg games between 2000 and 2013, and I have been to zero since then. It's got to a point where I don't always even know on a Saturday night if Glenelg has played yet or not that weekend, I've just lost all interest.

Make that a sample size of 2, this pretty much sums my situation up as well.

“We value our relationship with Werribee and fully understand the repercussions this may have on its finals campaign,” Dilena added.
“This is an unprecedented situation and we have to do what’s best for our players in the circumstances.”
Another issue that will no doubt affect the SANFL when both teams make the finals, North Melb's stance above, which rolls into Werribee's first final.
I can see the Crows reserves, playing their first ever SANFL final with only 3-4 AFL listed players and the rest from country leagues....

I have started writing something but am having trouble articulating what I want to say. I have so far addressed the concern at falling crowds and the fact that the SANFL seems to exist now to make Port and Crows happy.

From what I've seen since my post, I don't think there's much chance of people protesting with any conviction.
Facts seem to be that while 50% of SANFL fans might be unhappy with the Reserves concept, 80% of those disgruntled fans will continue to follow the league and support their clubs regardless.
On that basis, Chiggy and company made the right decision. They knew they could make that call and in the end people would go with it.

My 2 boys used to love wearing their Bays jumpers...now have no interest. They have not only killed off their core supporter basis they have hurt future generations.
