Port Adelaide 2017

[Bum Crack]

A lot of tickets selling for up to $40 less than normal for tomorrows game.

So you get a $30.00 credit?

[morell]

Yeah anything over 30k would be a bonus

I'm going!

Surely you have some stats Morell Whats ports average Saturday afternoon attendance?

doesnt matter how many people rock up if your team wins

Yeah sure do:

Avg. Port crowds at AO:

Thursday Night: 41,810
Friday Night: 44,843
Saturday: 40,081

Saturday Night: 47,035

Onto another fun topic....crowds.
Sat arvo against a team no one supports. 30-35k a pass mark?

I don't see how this is a factor. It's not like any other club would bring 15-20k more supporters to a game here. The onus is on the home team to build a large crowd.

St Kilda win tonight and they displace Port from the top 4. Port would need to win to get back in the 4 so there is plenty of incentive for their fans to go.

My word it's a factor

Well yeah but play say Carlton or Essendon and you can usually add 5k. Play North and you add about 10 randoms.

Saturday arvo is still a favourite time slot in Melbourne especially for the big clubs. TV loves it aswell as they can have 3 games back to back. For those 2 reasons it won't be changing anytime soon

They would trade it for a regular thursday night game in a heartbeat.

I personally think I could live without saturday afternoon footy.

Who would trade it?
You and I can possibly live without AFL on Saturday arvo but it's clear the Vics can't as it's continually one of the favoured spots and one which I know Essendon and Collingwood in particular request every year

[Dutchy]

Port fans have a crack at North's home crowds, then proceed to blame North for their own poor crowds

Well, I have never decided to not attend a game of football because of how many opposition supporters might be there. Everyone is different I guess.

That's not what anyone is saying.

They don't travel to Etihad, no chance they come all the way to Adelaide.

Not blaming, explaining reasons.

LOL! I really hope you are not being serious with your above posts

These AFL threads are face slappingly stupid at times.

The D6/D7 threads are like the Global Conference on Engineering and Applied Science in comparison.

Nah just the Port thread mate.

Aren't we even waiting now until after games to make excuses for crowds?
Making excuses before a ball is even bounced is a new one.

Big article about Ryder in today's paper. I'm beginning to think morrell is Rucci, it makes sense!

[bertiebeatle]

TBH, if we get 30-35k tomorrow i am not sure how people have the right to complain or point the finger. Pretty good crowd to me for a Saturday afternoon.

I am only going as i am injured otherwise i would be playing local footy.

Saturday day games & Sunday twilight games are easily the worst for Port due to local footy and then country members not being able to attend. Obviously we are going to get games in those slots during the season and if we are getting between 30 & 40 thousand, not sure how anyone can be worried about that

If you continue to get 30k you'll be broke in no time.
Unfortunately those numbers don't stack up at Adelaide Oval.

Why thank you!
