Women's Footy AFLW R.5 Crows vs Lions...Norwood Oval, Saturday 4th March, 6:40PM CDST

So the gameday info says the western stand tonight is restricted seating for all but southern is general public. What does that mean, who is the western grand stand for, anyone know?

Half of the Western stand os reserved for AFL/CROWS/LIONS Staff and family. The rest is for the general public.

At Thebarton they had a stand set aside for family and friends and for players not playing and for AFC mens players and also those who are members. I would assume the same deal at Norwood

Another big crowd already building for tonight's match between the two remaining undefeated sides in the AFLW.

Parking already horrendous around Norwood, and the public seating in the western stand already snapped up (unless you want to sit behind a light tower). Plenty of seating still in the southern stand, but there's plenty of obstructed view seats in that stand.

North easily accounted for West in the first curtain raiser, while Glenelg lead by 3 goals at quarter time of the second curtain raiser.

All up, should be a great game between the two form sides of the competition - Grand Final preview perhaps?

Just based off the parking availability around Norwood I'd guess there's already 3k there and I havnt even bothered crossing the road.
TBH, I doubt I'll go. I hate the confines of a suburban crowd when it reaches about what our aflw team has been getting.
Especially Norwood where your choice is
Obstructed view and uncomfortable at southern end
Cramped on eastern side or
No facilities northern end.


I don't mind watching u18s/u16s there where you can sit in the western stand, in fact, I'd say that's the best seating in the league. But when you can't get there on a normal day like today. What good is it.

Is Jackson Edwards playing? (I'm assuming this is men's SANFL)

Going to be very interesting to see how Norwood copes tonight. Normally the ground struggles with anything over about 4k

It's ladies SANFL - only Norwood, Glenelg, West and North.

Most of the men's trials start in 2 weeks.

As they say.....

Coopers Stadium?

UPDATE: Was informed we had 2 x Coopers Stadiums in Adelaide (Hindmarsh Stadium & Norwood Oval), weird.

Cheers, Hindmarsh Stadium is also called Coopers Stadium hence the confusion

That's always a fun concept - 2 stadiums within 15 minutes of each other with the same name lol!

We are on cyclone watch. Expecting the storm activity to start just when the Crows match is on and my Fox dies

0-3k tolerable (low sight lines from east)
4-7k average (from north)
8+k you're ****ed no matter what

The one thing I miss about Foxtel from Sydney. Cable rather than sate

We're comfortably in the third category - and we're still 25 minutes from kick off!

White shorts. Have we always had white shorts?

Asking for a friend

We're wearing the Indigenous strip tonight, which includes white shorts

 

[pjcrows]

We've worn our Indigenous guernsey more than our home one.

Getting pretty close to a lockout I reckon.
