2014 home attendances

[Malibu#27]

How those in seemingly lifelong positions at the SANFL are still in the job after decades of visionless stagnancy is beyond me. These clowns were determined to keep reapplying lipstick to the busted anus that was Football Park when there was a golden goose right in front of them. Unbelievable.

what are you on about, they are either in new high paid jobs at the SMA or have grandstands named after them. Still can't fathom that a grandstand is named after a bloke very much responsible for taking football away from the oval..... or a bar named after a tee-tottaler who thought footy should stay at AAMI.

I've got one of the 11-Game GA cards would that get me in still?

Yeh 11 game memberships get you in, its only the 3 gamers that might need to worry if they havent already allocated a ticket via Ticketek, oh and its allocation exhausted all round now, just checked.

There's an allocation the club have set aside for people with 3 game, country and vic members but it's limited. If you have these tickets you are advised to get to the game early to scan in and avoid being locked out.

RD 2 vs Adelaide: 50,397
RD 4 vs Brisbane: 36,231
RD 6 vs Geelong: 47,007

Total YTD: 133,635

Average YTD: 44,545

Budgeting for 34,000 per game equals 374,000 for 11 games. 374,000-133,635=240,365/8=30,412.

To sum up : if we average 30,412 over the final 8 games of the season at AO we will reach our budgeted figure. And of the AO matches we still have Fremantle, Hawthorn, Essendon, Sydney and Carlton; all of which should attract 35,000-45,000. The others are Melbourne, St Kilda and Western Bulldogs.

 

[PowerForGood]

Interestingly, our last two games in WA (at WC and Freo) have drawn 35000+
And our last two games in Melb (NM and Carl) have only drawn 19000 and 24000.

Is it wrong that I get pissed off by the big crowd! Rq

Have to queue for everything now! Just not used to it .

The grumpy bastard in me has a whinge.

 

[tribey]

Can I change my vote?

 

[Jakko]

Can I change my vote?

Not arf.

I thought my guess was on the hopeful side, but its still less than the Brisbane game.

 

[ROBBBO]

A lot of us couldn't go last home match due to retail work, netball and sport commitments, so I am truly expecting 47-48 odd thousand to the Geelong game, especially given there will be a fair whack of Geelong supps there too.

Good call by the flying nun

The problem with these huge crowds is so many more people screaming 'man up Port man up'

Has Jesus Westhoff returned to our line-up yet?

 

[TheFVK]

Long live 40K+ crowds and being a power club.

R.I.P. leg room and short queues for drinks, you will be missed

 

[raman]

So far both Port and the Crows have had sell-out games with actual attendances around 47k. Goes to show the degree of variation that corporate attendance will determine. 47k may be the approximate ceiling for non-Showdown, non-Final games.

EDIT: big night games may push that ceiling higher.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

We will probably get more people against the Hawks than yesterday. Its a Saturday night game - Hawks have more travelling fans - the corporates and casual fans. AO is already doing its job.

Port Adelaide's attendance figure at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday night was its highest home crowd in a non-Showdown and its fifth-highest in a minor round home game.

Fantastic effort 47007, just as big of a statement as the win itself

 

[VineValerian]

Monster crowd at the Portress called the Powerhouse

 

[bomberclifford]

Those 10,000 Crows supporters who bought 3 game memberships must really enjoy watching us.

 

[TheFVK]

47K is huge and validates our membership numbers. Hearing of so many neutral converts recently too.

Undefeated there since 2011

Haha. Teaching my sons it's 'Pressure them Port, pressure them'. Not man up.
