Anyone know how much it costs to park in the Torrens Parade Ground before today’s game?

What a absolute blinkered analysis. The AFL did port no favors with the scheduling of a double header, people like me, a port member, busy on day of ticket allocation, couldn't go, but melbourne and essendon supporters weren't going to sit in more than 2 hours of rain for teams they don't care for. It's a little smug for a team that got a standalone game, in dry weather to complain about the attendance. It was a sellout and most of the empty seats were not port supporters not rocking up.They gave every other State a chance to claim gather round thanks to their non-attendance.
A prime-time Sat night slot and they pull a mid 20k crowd? Pathetic.

Just pointing out the low level of thought that has gone into some posts re crowd. Who ever gets Gather Round next year, they will learn a lot from the mistakes of this year. Overall a huge success, but could have been better.I’m crying buckets of tears for you
Though you excuse for not being able to purchase a ticket a bit lame, surely you know someone that could help youJust pointing out the low level of thought that has gone into some posts re crowd.

What a load of rubbish. Are you trying to tell me 25,000 Port supporters couldn't get tickets when you had the chance (and it was more than one day). There would have been less than 5,000 Melb and Essendon supporters that came over for their game. The rest of the 'sold out' tickets were Port supporters who didn't show up because it was raining.What a absolute blinkered analysis.

How many you think would have shown up in that rain had the Crows played? It didn't look just a light shower or two? I get there's the port/crows shit fight but being objective and realistic what crowd do you think Crows pull?They gave every other State a chance to claim gather round thanks to their non-attendance.

Always going to be things to learn after the first year. As someone who just didn't get it and why it was needed I've thought it's looked ok on TV & I get why the states would want it for tourism dollars & the AFL to get paid from the states so commercially it makes sense I guess. Generally speaking good crowds, to get 40k+ to Rich/Swans is a great effort. Shame about rain yesterday as that dampens the crowds I'm sure.Just pointing out the low level of thought that has gone into some posts re crowd.

They're in the hospitality tents out the back.Quarter full is generous.
I wonder what they do with the people sitting in the cheer squad bays in a double header
Really we should get Thursday night game and Port the Friday night game.
Did I miss it, but they didn’t review the Crows game?Just finished watching C9 Sunday Footy show. Mali is doing us well re the gather round. Killed Gil in the Handball comp. Also Damo and TJ earlier in the show praising SA and their compelling argument for making SA, The Gather Round State PERMANENT. Because its central and good for grass roots supporters from everywhere to come here easily.
No, they didn't. Only reason I watched it. All in all the show is dumb with cornball attempts at jokes and I don't like it . I was waiting for our game review.Did I miss it, but they didn’t review the Crows game?
I’m sure at the beginning they said they were going to review it later in the showNo, they didn't. Only reason I watched it. All in all the show is dumb with cornball attempts at jokes and I don't like it . I was waiting for our game review.
I must have blinked if there was. Recorded it then deleted it. No loss.I’m sure at the beginning they said they were going to review it later in the show
I agree Port should have got the stand alone Friday night slot, putting them in the double header was a bit unfair and the weather was trash I'm sure if it was nice day more Port fans would have gone to the first game. It's not Port fans fault that the schedule and weather was shit for themWhat a absolute blinkered analysis.

When was the last time a SA side had a Friday night game.I agree Port should have got the stand alone Friday night slot, putting them in the double header was a bit unfair and the weather was trash I'm sure if it was nice day more Port fans would have gone to the first game. It's not Port fans fault that the schedule and weather was s**t for them
