Sturt get the gate/catering etc I believe. It's a punt to see if giving the Ravens a 'home' game will entice more than 200 of their supporters along. But at the same time running the risk of p*ssing off some of the Sturt faithful.
Not that I've listened to it, but the Sturt head-honcho is on the sanfl site talking about the decision.
Could it also be the Ravens testing the waters to see if a home base in the SANFL is worthwhile?

Yep, can guarantee within 2 years the Ravens will be based at Thebby and play all their home games there.
They won't stop until they have killed the comp

This game worries me to be honest JTC. Adelaide are possibly the most up and down side in the league. Earlier this season we were questioning if anyone would be able to beat them at all. Since then they've lost to South, Sturt, and twice to Central. Admittedly they're all fellow top 5 sides, but the gap between unbeatable and losing 4 times in about 8 weeks is pretty confusing. Sturt on the other hand are just managing to win each week. With the Eagles literally creaming every side that takes the field, snapping at our heels, we're going to need to dig deep to hang on to top spot. Looking very precarious IMO.

Yep, thought it was around the 3,200 mark.
Crowd split was about 5 or 6 to 1 IMO. Which is actually a lot of Crows fans by their standards. So possibly about 600 Crows fans, being generous. They even had a cheer squad of about 20 kids or so.
What I'd really like to know is, when did they build that state of the lql scoreboard? It is slightly bigger than the traditional SANFL wooden scoreboard, except it was completely electronic, and as I mentioned in my long post, it's capable of showing TV standard quality moving pictures. I imagine you could hook it up to give replays and live feed from the cameras, as though they didn't do this on Saturday.
Do what's it used to when the oval isn't being used to SANFL every 4 years? Do they play other sports there? OT is there some future plan?
