Competitions 2016 Adelaide Oval Attendance Watch

[OneGreatClub]

Well it's your fault poort. There would have been 55k+ there on Saturday if it was crows v crows.

Your supporters are too poor and crow supporters are scared of your violence and swearing.

You bunch of ****ing drunks.

Yeah Pooort, you could have at least sent over your tarps.

 

[PAFC66]

Maybe not enough gay pr0n

I love our tarps. People remember to bag us about them before they remember the 2007 GF, they get sucked into inferior criticism

Still looks like a lot of unsold tickets for Friday night. Would have thought this would be close to a sell out?

Everyone should bring along a Chinese friend

 

[Doctor Feel]

Good - I want some room to move on the hill etc. with the now 5 people i'll be taking.

No need for tarps if you don't charge! Problem solved.

I've said many times, the idea was solid, again we pioneered. Melbourne playing in front of 15k at the MCG with sparse crowds and empty seats is an awful look and a waste of advertising opportunities.

That loss has done a lot of damage to our brand

Remember we are the die-hards who even turned up in 2011

There are plenty of fairweather supporters who pick and choose their games

We hold back a lot of these tickets

Only predicting a crowd of around 45k

That would be a great crowd.

 

[SgtSchulz]

I'm guessing around 48,000.

Last time we got 46,000 and it was a Saturday night with rain.

 

[manureid]

3 Game members also pick and choose...not sure this is one I would choose.

Friday night footy with the chance for a big win? Seems pretty good to me.

Closing off sections and covering seats is actually quite common in international sports, particularly in shared stadiums. Our problem was the location of the tarps made it too obvious it was to deal with poor crowds. We should have been more subtle with the positioning (e.g. place them next to the ambulance race...not have one bay open, then a tarp, then two bays open, then a tarp, etc). It just never looked right and was poorly thought through and poorly executed by the club.

 

[Jonts]

47-49k

 

[RossFC]

Noticing that the club has paid facebook to advertise the hell out of the game. Even the AFL facebook page is promoting for people to buy tickets.

Talking of tarps and covering things up, I noticed on the west fixed signage covering up the stands, next to the Bradman letters and also the stands either side, something which was never meant to happen to this ground. They haven't done it to the east presumably as it's the TV side. Also all the Telstra branding out front - all very subtle but a way of recouping costs as it will never be called 'AAMI' stadium. Should be 47k to mix night, can't make it unfortunately.

The Adelaide Oval Southern Plaza is the "Telstra Plaza". As you say, the SMA can't sell naming rights to the Oval but there is nothing to stop them selling naming rights to parts of it. The Audi Stadium Club is another example.

 

[LFC2010]

45-48k at this stage. which will be more than acceptable considering the opponent and the situation they're in player wise. I'd be disappointed if we got less than 45k.

 

[manureid]

43-44k I reckon.

The southern plaza was officially named the telstra plaza last year or possibly the year before even

 

[BornPort]

Im thinking about 42k as a conservative estimate. I just feel no excitement at all for this game.

Not surprising for a rare Friday night home game.

Has been since the redevelopment.
