His dad and he can sit down and debate whether Centrals crowds, or North crowds, or Norwood crowds are the worst.
Seems crowds get under the skins of the Cornes family a fair bit.

His younger brother said the same thing about Norwood Oval crowd......so what happened? Swearing, abuse, violence or just not the adoring "we love you Chad" response?

Nothing new!!!
Last year we watched an elderly woman in front of us in the grandstand giving the Eagles the two finder salute as they left the ground.
I casually said to her that it was bad luck that Norwood had lost in all the grades that day and she went absolutely ballistic and pretty much accused me of being a foul mouth bastard and wanted her husband to start a fight with me. The feral crowd at that venue has stopped us from ever going there again!!!

PORT Adelaide and Adelaide have called for greater security at SANFL matches after Chad Cornes labelled the crowd at Norwood Oval last week as “probably the most abusive I’ve ever been involved with either at AFL or SANFL level’’.

Former AFL star Cornes, coaching the Magpies for the first time last Thursday night, said he and his players felt threatened and that the Redlegs should be “embarrassed’’ by the behaviour of some of their supporters.

“A bit more has to be done with (SANFL) security,’’ said Cornes, the oldest son of inaugural Crows coach Graham Cornes and brother of Power games recordholder Kane Cornes.

“Just walking down at the breaks I thought something could happen here, so the SANFL needs to look at that and beef up security.

“I don’t mind when they say it to me but some of the stuff they were saying to the boys (players) is just completely unacceptable.

“Some of the supporters need to have a good look at themselves and I’d be a little bit embarrassed if I was a part of the ‘normal’ Norwood supporters because of what some of the lower ones were saying to our boys.

“I won’t say what they said but it’s just not good enough.’’

It is understood Power-listed Paul Stewart had “kill’ threats directed at him.

Kane Cornes, now an assistant coach at Glenelg, wrote in his The Advertiser column that he left The Parade at halftime of the SANFL season opener with his young family after witnessing the abuse.

“A much-anticipated family outing to kick off the Easter long weekend turned into a halftime exit thanks to some appalling crowd behaviour,’’ he said.

“You’d hate to see the kids miss out on the chance to run on to the ground at the breaks thanks to a few thugs.’’

Chad Cornes, who played 239 games for the Power from 1999-2011 and 16 for GWS in 2012, said offenders should be thrown out of SANFL matches.

Crows SANFL coach Heath Younie backed Cornes’s call for greater safety measures for players and coaches and revealed Adelaide employs its own plain-clothes security guards to deal with crowd trouble “just in case something happens’’.

“I reiterate what Chad says in that we need to look at it (greater security),’’ Younie said.

“As Chad says it’s not just about the coaches but the players deserve the respect to be able to go about their business without being criticised personally and to the level it sometimes gets to.

“We are a unique competition in that we allow our supporters to come onto the ground, which is fantastic for our local supporters, but we’ve got to be respectful that these players — both the AFL clubs and SANFL traditional clubs — are there to do a job.

“The SANFL will no doubt look into it but coaches at every club should have some sort of security around them to support them because we’d hate to see a point where supporters aren’t allowed on the ground at quarter and three-quarter time breaks.’’

Norwood chief executive Geoff Baynes said crowd emotions were high at The Parade because of the healthy rivalry with Port but he said his club did not condone behaviour that “crossed the line’’.

He said Redlegs security staff have been instructed to warn offenders for a first offence and then evict them from the ground for a second.

“SANFL supports a strong stance be taken by its clubs against poor crowd behaviour,’’ he said.

“We understand rivalry is a significant part of football, however, we remind fans of the consequences of taking their passion too far.

“When behaviours are impacting the enjoyment of participants, officials and patrons, they are damaging to our game and as such our tolerance levels and response need to be suitably actioned.”

i think both of these clubs just arent used to playing in front of oppositon crowds. both normally play to a stadium filled with their own supporters. look at the whingeing from them both on the 1 game a year when they face a stadium packed with opposition supporters (when they dont host the showdown) how many times have i read of one group of supporters planning a "boycott' when it is the other clubs home game because of "feral" crowd behaviour?..... bit different when the shoe is on the other foot i guess :roll:

i have never had a problem with crowd behaviour at Norwood, and have been with my kids in the past. and if i can ever be bothered going to a game again, i woldnt have a problem taking the kids there again.

good on the norwood supporters for making them feel uncomfortable. maybe the message will eventually get out that they arent welcome

I'd say it's probably a fair call on his part. Unfortunately it happens at all grounds though. It's the real d!ckhead element (which might be less than 1% of the crowd) who take things too far and spoil the day for others. Some people just don't know where to draw the line.

More of this behaviour and we can say goodbye to standing around the huddles...

As someone who belongs to possibly the most polite home crowd in the league all I can say is get used to it Chad.
Norwood and Alberton are both very hostile environments for opposing supporters.
last year at Alberton I was parking my car in a neighbouring street, there was a lot of traffic around and I let a car coming in the opposition direction through the congestion. As the car passed me the occupant, clearly seeing I was an opposition supporter wound his window - I thought to thank me , however he politely told me F--K OFF!...welcome to Alberton, and I hadnt even got a carpark!!!

It's no coincidence that Cornes and Younie as the respective coaches for Power and Crows reserves sides feel that proper SANFL crowds are a bit antagonistic towards them.

Bit surprised Cornes felt the way he did, though, I thought his skin would be a bit thicker given his on field carry-on in his prime, and he should know about the Port-Norwood rivalry and what it means. As for the Crows, I'm not surprised they feel a bit intimidated when opposition supporters speak their mind in anything louder than a moderate 'more tea please, vicar' volume.

Interesting. I reckon Alberton Oval ain't nothing like it used to be. I've found the crowd vibe there in recent years when North have played to be quite benign, to be honest.
