Definitely should be more SANFL games played in the country, and not just involving the AFL teams. As the numbers on the previous page show, they are almost always well supported.
2,310 the crowd.

Their figures aren't great but tbe Bordertown one was not surprising. Wasn't Penola affected by bad weather? Can't recall that far back.

I don't know the ins-and-outs but the Fleurieu region has clearly supported our games down there really well. Crowds are well above our average for all matches at Noarlunga (excluding 1995, our long-term average is 1,865 and the highest our average crowds have been for a year is 2,282).
We should be playing a minimum of one match per year down there until less than 840 people turn up. Go with what works.

Understandable given how big their home crowds are.
