Competitions 2016 Adelaide Oval Attendance Watch

[Stewart2Austin Reborn]

It's that time of year again.

I won't bore you with graphs and tables since it's only one round into the season. Instead, I will entertain you with this banner I made.


Unfortunately Photoshop gave up half-way through and I couldn't make it more legible. Nonetheless, it teaches us am important life lesson. Always save your work.

While last year (click here) we lost the metaphorical dick-measuring contest, we established that there was plenty of room for optimism in 2016 and beyond.

So here we are. Premiership footy returned to Adelaide Oval on Easter Sunday, drawing 43,807 people through the gates.

Absolutely amazing turn out but our reward will be the next 10 Easter Sundays.

 

[RossFC]

Very good, Thought there would be about 8000 less.

 

[Marmozet]

Awesome turnout for an Easter Sunday afternoon against St Kilda. Our next two home games will have to be pushing 50k

 

[1954]

That is an excellent crowd for an easter sunday.

 

[Jonts]

Surely best port crowd on Easter Sunday

Close to top ten of all time?

 

[finbarr]

Just a brilliant turnout. Fantastic. But "lol tarps Poort".

 

[xflamedancer]

Minus the inevitable 800 for the 'adjusted' figure.

I think we'll be sharing it with Adelaide for sure from now on.

#campaigners - AFL really need to force their hand and make them introduce workers passes that they wear around there necks. Surely it cant be that hard. AFL have better things to worry about than auditing crowd numbers every game of every season.

Bombers on a friday night should be huge. All those who were away this week will want to be at it, especially if we win the showdown next week.

There were no Easter eggs hidden around our area, I know, I looked. I was promised there would be Easter eggs.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Yeah I thought we would get 35k but struggle to get to 38k because of Easter. Between family and friends we have 15 membership passes and a few people were away for Easter and on Thursday we were down to 6 definite attendees and maybe 8. We got to 11 with a few people taking up the offer to use spare passes.

The club was bloody wrapped with the figure of 43.8k and is looking forward to a bumper crowd against Essendon on Friday week.

Did anyone notice anything different about the North West part of the Hill compared to last year??. It looked like more people were in that area or they had pulled down some screens at the back of the grass area next to the pathway the Morton Bay Figs part of the Hill not the seats part. Anyone else notice something was different and looked like more people there?

I did take notice of that area - it look more open than previously so I reckon you might be right about infrastructure removal (not sure what though)

I was up in the Riverbank stand, and kept looking at the part of the hill because something seemed different but I couldn't put my finger on what.

 

[John the Butcher]

Very happy of the crowd. Great turnout.

 

[ozph1870]

was only expecting 35000, never thought we were a chance for 45....

 

[Zakk Wylde]

I'd prefer the Mothers Day game to Easter Sunday.

Absolutely a fantastic crowd yesterday.

We are due to miss both next year, surely.

Yeah who am I kidding?

 

[LFC2010]

saw a moron/troll on social media bagging us cause we didn't get 45-48k.

 

[finbarr]

Just such an awesome crowd. So proud of that turnout for such a notoriously poor drawing timeslot. Well done Port fans. Well done.

I was so wrong, i thought 35K on Easter Sunday. Incredible effort, Port faithful.

I predicted 45,000 during the week but even I was being on the hopeful side.
