Entry virtually is free mate, club members get in free, thousands of tickets are given away, Adelaide Oval members get in free. I doubt anyone would pay to get in and I doubt they'll get 15k, it'll be a lot closer to 1.5k.

I still follow SANFL because I love the Blues and there's just too much of my life in that already.
But the league has been made a joke by PP and AR reserves. So I don't really see the point in watching a SANFL representative side.
The VFL, as I have read on other threads, has virtually no players to choose from. Apparently no AFL listed players are eligible fir this one, and with so few untainted clubs in the VFL, my understanding is they'll be fielding an average side at best.
They've been promoting this game a bit on the radio, so that might bring a few people who aren't up with the SANFL through the gate.
I reckon they'll get about 3,286.

If we're going to have these 'state' games, I reckon they should be played at one of the local grounds and not Adelaide Oval. An inter-state league match is likely to have more resonance among those who support it if its played at a local ground, and therefore more chance of securing a better crowd which is still not likely to be massive and won't look as bad as a stadium that's 85% empty.
