Adelaide AFL fans = SOFT

[jackpot jim]

Still 15,000 unsold tickets for tomorrows Crows V Collingwood.

SOFT? Unless theirs a late rush, YES.

[Footy Smart]

high cost of living, have to pay above what you budget for(season tickets) plus Adelaide show is on so lots of families will go to that and cant afford to do both.

And the kids will be pushing for going to the Show over the football too..

[redden whites]

For years we have heard ..The Adelaide Show,Saving for grand Final day,Saving for week 2 of the finals and the price of tickets as excuses for poor finals turn outs. Now the Port home Showdown again draws a red faced turn out
All the jokes about Port supporters being on the Dole You would think the Crows mob were living in Whitmore Sq.

GROUNDHOG DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately not everyone is on 60k a year and can afford to go each home game and a couple of trips interstate, There are more very important things that take money from your pay before football comes along, like trying to LIVE each week and pay for the meager lifestyle that we are trying to provide for our families, but i suppose gettin a 0.25% interest rate cut will allow me to buy the tickets I need for the whole family to get to the footy this week end, and pay the bus fares and the budget and eat out on Sat night at AAMI.

I think the AFL should be gratefull that the people put the home and away matches infront of their normal commitments to pay their bills and keep the repo man from knocking on their doors, as i'm sure that there is not much left by the weekends for recreation and leisure.

Now I know that all homes have computers, wide screen TV's, DVD recorders, Home theatre systems and more mobile phones and security systems, than they know what to do with, BUT you money can only go so far, and just when you think you are on top of things, the Govt bumps up all charges on cars, licenses, fees, council rates are due again and so it goes on, then the AFL raise prices for final tickets and the AFL expect us to travel and support the team we love, so next time you all get a bit paranoid about not enough people going to watch the footy, have a little think about the reasons why.

You might raise a few decent points but come on...

[stan]

Biggest game of the year and they draw 31k?

WTF?

I agree with Rucci, time for there to be only 1 showdown each year, why would the AFL persist with 2 when the fans just dont show up?

Disgraceful and embaressing to SA..

There will be alot more than that there, but it is difficult at the moment with the Show on as well. That always takes away some younger types that would have gone to the football.

Also I dont know what it is with you but the day that the roo's get more than 31k to a home final is the day you can call other supporters soft.

There you are have a nice troll...mate.

This is true for a certain segment of the community. There's another segment that is just plain apathetic.

It's a once-a-year opportunity to see your team play a really big match. The Crows didn't unexpectedly sneak into the 8 in the last round.

[Dog_ger]

Blame Dog_ger

I have never been to an "AFL" game....

Shame....

There is a third section who have their money tied up in profit making investments, and their time in running a business or two..
For example, while the money would not be an issue, I can afford the time to watch today's match on TV, bit not the extra 4 hours for travelling time to and from the match.

You don't actually think your pathetic club had anything to do with those numbers do you?

[jackpot jim]

Not only their fans are soft BUT also their Players.

Fair Dinkum, all that whinging last week about Essendons pathetic effort costing them 4th spot,
Crows were lucky in that it saved them the same Hiding and Embarrassment that the Power endured in last years GF from the Cats.
