Well done to all of the Eagles fans who turned up, but if a Norwood (or god forbid) Port had made it, they would have topped 40k.
Port has dropped off CC. I went to the 2014 GF Norwood v Port, and there was very little support for Port there. Perhaps their presence galvanised the neutrals to turn up and support Norwood against them? I know I yelled my throat out for the Legs that day.
I reckon Sturt/ Norwood/ Glenelg and perhaps North would push or surpass 40,000. I think Glenelg especially would draw a huge crowd. They always get a massive turn out for big games, no matter how starved of success they are, or maybe because of it?
