Half the Riverbank stand was empty and the top tiers of the other stands were sparcely populated also plenty of room to walk freely around the hill. I honestly thought around the 32k mark. Either way was a decent crowd but I would of expected similar if it was Norwood v South as I reckon 30,000 plus were supporting Norwood. Very small Port turn out
Nearly 39,000 and a great game. Definitely more Norwood supporters than Port but still a lot of Port people there. There was no spare seats in the bottom tear. It was a great day as i predicted and left the profits of doom without to much to whinge about.
You think the "profits of doom" are whinging about one fricken game.
You have NFI. Let's see how many of those 39,000 turn up in the middle of July.
This year's league attendances have had the 2nd lowest in 10 years. And that's including the novelty factor or maybe it should be termed the 'macabre curiosity' factor.
I'm sure the SANFL will be overjoyed at the 39k turn out, with the first GF at AO, supposedly biggest rivalry in the state, blardy blardy. Do you think the SANFL will survive on that one game a year??
Yes the SANFL will survive. To suggest otherwise makes it obvious that you are the one with NFI. You sit in your little room on your keyboard finding every little thing to stew about as you dissect the tiresome minutiae of every little questionable detail. Sorry North let you down, sorry the league showed some vision, sorry your club voted for the changes, sorry some of us understand things that you don't.
I can understand people wanting the NO vote I really do but the ship has sailed and it's time to accept it.
"Sit in my little room" you condescending (apologies, no need for insults)
No one said the SANFL won't survive, no more than the VFL doesn't survive now.
You will be happy to move on, just as you were happy to move on to the "new challenges" that came with your precious Port's back door attempt to join the AFL the first time around.
You don't need to apologise for what North have done. That same old "your club voted for it" shite is a typical response from half wits who have no idea why anyone wouldn't be happy with the current situation.
You are a Power ....... who doesn't even bother to put the Magpies badge on your profile, who no doubt will be just as happy when your reserves outfit moves on to its own league and leaves the SANFL in the shit state that the VFL and WAFL are in now.
