SA Footy

Spelly, just having a think and West have a perfect record at home under lights, central have only lost 1 game at home at night and South are 1 for 1 under lights at Noarlunga.

What is the records of teams playing night games at their 'traditional' home grounds ala Norwood (the parade), Central (elizabeth), West (Richmond), South (noarlunga)

Seeing as you have answered that one yourself, it shouldn't take spelly too long to work that one out!

Up to the end of last year:
Central 17 wins 1 loss
Norwood 29 wins 33 losses 1 draw
West 4 wins

Vs North late 2006, I reckon (about round 22 or 23)

Interesting, thought Norwoods record would be alot better on Friday Nights

so including this year, between Central, Norwood, South and West their combined night record is

54-35-1

It's actually better than I would have thought. I guess 2010 pushed the win tally up. When we made the decision to concentrate on night games, it was a pure financial decision. For years we had an underperforming team, and also night footy didn't suit our style of play all that well.

I reckon that was the match where Centrals were completely gone entering time on in the last quarter then kicked five or so goals in almost no time to only lose by a couple of points.

For quite a while from 2004 onwards it seemed that North would always beat Norwood at night at the Parade and the only times Norwood won at the Parade against North was in daylight.

Correct. North always seemed to have at least one aboriginal player who would rip us apart with pace, and Hargraves kicking a bag at FF. I recall Nick Gill in his first game for North booting a bag and taking a couple of screamers as well. We won't talk about the swimming pool match at Adelaide Oval

What has that got to do with the topic. We were talking about Norwood's record at the Parade under lights.

Well it had nothing to do with the topic, it was just a comment on the difference between Norwood and North Adelaide at that time. You've never wandered off topic from time to time? I bet you have.
