Maybe, but a few hundred Crows fans rocking up to the first game on a fine day doesn't bode well.

Being a Sunday, fine weather and the first game of the year wouldve had a much bigger influence, we don't get too many round 1 games at home recently.
But what was the crowd? 4025?
If the Crows aren't liars we'll get 25 this week.
And remember our last game got 40,000!
North math day crowd has dropped 90% since the Cows reserves entered our comp!

how about getting some stats for me? can you get your hands on how many were at North's first home games in 2012 and 2013 and also a home game against Centrals or WWT last year and lets see how they stack up against Sundays.

I think what many find annoying is the spin and lying that came from the Crows during the reserves lobbying. Treating SANFL fans like complete idiots, that needed to be "educated". Proclaiming that 4000 crows supporters would attend sanfl games (with no research) was ridiculous.

Sorry, if this has been discussed on other pages in the thread, it's late, but it seems to be a common piss moan against the Crows introducing a team into the SANFL...
Have we all forgotten why they would want to do so?
Seems to be that Port Adelaide are getting off the hook lightly with their means of making this happen on the quiet, they are always the instigators, and good on them for being on the front foot, but the Crows have played right into their hands with this rubbish and are playing a rebounding villain character.
The real villain comes from down Port Road way and has the backing of the State Government.
The Crows are now the poor cousin. Luckily football is cyclic, some are better than others at survival and success, this we know.
Can Port keep up the momentum? Will the support drop off when the pendulum swings?
They are now at the mercy of themselves and the AFL, hopefully no more handouts from the SANFL.
Failure is only the opportunity to begin again more intelligently.

So North can expect to get crowed of 4000-6000 for most home games this year when you take into account most of those are against non AFL sides.


Who knows we will see what they get for therest of the year but I'm pretty confident a North v Norwood game on that exact same day would have got a bigger crowd

The big test will be are how many go to the next north vs crowd game as doubt there would have been some north supporters there for the novelty factors of seeing the first crows reserves game as well.My guess will be that will be the biggest crows reserves crowd this year except for maybe the 'Taylor walker' come back game OMG!

so you think North supporters were at the game to see the Crows. So what happened to no one watches reserves teams.
Crows are even getting opposition supporters out to watch them and your still bi***ing about it.

So do you start every question with "So"?
You sound like my 4 year old grand daughter

Because one was a league side. Curiosity. Hoping for the Crows to be humiliated.
It'll drop off.

Does anyone go watch your reserves side?

How about you get stats yourself? What am I, a slave?!
A fair comparison of another Sunday round 1 game at Prospect is hard to find especially something as marketable as the Cows first game as everyone wants to see them get demolished. We've been given a shocking run in round 1 as far as marketing a game at home goes in recent years. No Sunday Round 1 games at home for North in the last 10 years.

North had the bye in Round 1 in 2013.
North had the bye in Round 1 in 2012.
North played West in Round 1 in 2011 at Prospect but it was a Saturday.
North played at Richmond in Round 1 in 2010.
North had the bye in Round in 2009.
North played Eagles in Round 1 in 2008 at Prospect but it was a Saturday.
North played at Elizabeth in Round 1 in 2007.
North played Eagles in Round 1 in 2006 at Prospect but it was a Saturday
North played at Norwood in Round 1 2005 (made a shit load of money on that game!)

I have no doubt if we'd played Norwood on Sunday there would have been at least 6k.

Trust the people that were there! If they did have more than 500 there it would have been even more embarrassing the lack of noise they put out. Mind you we did put them in their place pretty early on both on and off the field. Made them welcome as a bad bout of herpes! ;)

So you are suggesting that the Christian station LIFE-FM would lie? They repeatedly stated that there seemed to be less than a couple of hundred people supporting Adelaide at the game.

The best that could be said is that some North supporters who also support the Crows at AFL level used their Crows AFL ticket to get into the game.
