Crowd at Norwood oval friday

[krusden]

Anyone got any early predictions for the crowd at norwood for this friday.

I'm going + am excited but i was wondering how many people would be expected.

Cheers,

 

[Stinger...]

I think the SANFL would be hoping for 7K +...good weather forecast so wouldn't be surprised to see 9K...

Should be a ripper with any luck...

I shall be there...

 

[Punchy Bassett]

6-8K I reckon, I'll be there, come on you LEGS!

 

[Still Crowing]

I'll be there with 5 members of my family, weather for Friday projected to be 25C and Sunny, I reckon the SANFL(&me) would be hoping to nudge 10k

looks like the beer line up could be huge

 

[Drummond]

At least 6k, probably about 8, hopefully 10.

I'll be there and I seriously cannot wait! Go the Legs!

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Shame I'm working, would have gone down for a look otherwise.

 

[jo172]

I'll be there with 6 - 8 mates

Love friday night footy at the parade

I'm considering going along. I unfortunately haven't managed to get to a Redlegs game in ages, but I'm really keen this week. I love night games at Norwood Oval. It's got the best atmosphere for that sort of thing IMO. Has anyone got a definite start time for both the Seniors and Reserves games?

With the Fringe and Clipsal 500 finished, and a good night predicted weather-wise, the only thing I think that might keep people away is the Grand Final Replay on Channel 7. But if you're more willing to sit and watch AFL at home, you're probably not that keen on SANFL to begin with anyway I suppose.

Carn the 'Legs!

i'm guessing around 6,000 to 7,000. However i think the biggest crowds for the opening round will be at elizabeth on saturday night as well as the twilight game down at glenelg. There will probably be more people at the opening round of the SANFL season than there will be at the power vs essendon game.

[beenreal]

Birthday drinks on Coopers Hill and I can't wait! With the weather I'd love to see 10K, I'll settle for the atmosphere of 8000.

OOO last time I did that my mates had to carry me home

 

[Redlegger]

Hopefully close to 10,000.

Would have thought most Norwood supporters would want to be there tonight.

Around 6500 I heard. very disappointing, I was expecting around 8-9K.

 

[Gus]

Sitting in the stands there seemed to be a fair crowd around the ground. Cracking atmosphere, some good entertainment from the port crowd, showing off their high intelligence.

"They should bring in 9 pointers, that way if we are 9 points down and we kick one we'll be 9 points up." wow. Ugly, feral AND stupid.

I think we are going to have to get used to lower crowds this year Rory with money being tight everywhere and all.

yeah but how much does the sanfl cost these days? i would have thought the afl crowds would drop and people head to the sanfl for the footy fix being that its a 1/4 the price

Ten bucks now, was good to see usual service resumed last night eh stewie?

 

[Woodpecker Warrior]

6500 is a fair crowd.

However considering the sanfl count is going to be 15% lower than actual numbers at the game as the redcoats struggle to press the count button as the crowds rush in.

So I would say 7000 plus last night.

thats what I was thinking

FFS I cant remember the last time I spent so little at footy

$3 Concession Ticket
$4*2 Hotdogs
$3 Coke.

$14 on Footy. I love it

i was too. the Port end (city end) seemed sparse to me - not too many opposition supporters there. coopers hill and the stand was good.

and my goodness there was some talent there.

Sounds like an okay crowd,and a good time had by all
