Port Power at Adelaide Oval home crowd watch: 2014 edition

[xflamedancer]

The Crows last home final happened to be against Freo, guess how many of them turned up.

Well it certainly wasn't bursting, 31 thousand showed up.

Well, well, well isn't that interesting

38,000 turned up to watch a team playing for top spot against last year's grand finalists? If Adelaide were in the same position we would have filled our oval to bursting.

apricotslice , so if 38k for a H&A game against Freo is disappointing, what is the term you would use for A home final against the same team, that drew a crowd of 31k at AAMI which had a capacity of 50+k?

I mean that's not exactly bursting point is it? Let's see if we can help you with some words to describe it, pathetic, laughable, a joke, ****in hilarious and big hole in the ridiculous argument that 38k is disappointing. There's a few that I could think of, off the top of my head, lets hear your thoughts on it.

38000 is a great result against freo. Last time they played here(2012) the game drew 14000 to Aamir.

A 24000 increase in 2 years is nice.

Are you trying to hide the fact only 38,000 turned up to watch a team playing for top spot against last year's grand finalists? Power fans thought they might see a loss and as usual stayed away in droves. If Adelaide were in the same position we would have filled our oval to bursting.

Keep concentrating on our attendance numbers apricotslice to take your mind off how pathetic your supposed state team is.

39k is a tremendous crowd against freo because

a) freo are the worst team in the league to watch play
b) no one really gives a shit about freo

He's disappeared, must have got sick of the constant pwnage.

Perhaps he/she is baking.

Probably a humble pie

Fremantles home average this year is about 35K.

What the **** are you whinging about?

You get off your fat hairy ass and persuade the WA government or the AFL to Build a 75,000 seat multi purpose arena in Perth then I will shut up.

Crow fans invest heavily in the glass half full way of life.

sorry to take so long getting back, my crocheting is getting way behind and I need to catch up. You know as well as I do that if you are struggling for 75% capacity when you are winning games and top of the table you are soon going to need big seat covers when it rains and you lose a couple of games. Perhaps Alberton will be big enough and we can have our oval to ourselves again.

you didnt have to work in Adelaide and hear how after one lucky win at our oval that Poort would fill every seat every week regardless of results, weather or competition. It hasnt taken long for the myth to unravel!

Upon review they have revised the crowd figure up 1 to reflect the performance of Danyle Pearce who spectated all day.

Maybe Pearce is a Dangerfield clone: they both turn the ball over with monotonous regularity

your posts are going downwards at the same speed your crowd numbers are

I was recommended to this site by a friend because she said port fans have a sense of humour and like an argument. I am not an alias so don't blame anyone else on the site, that would not be fair

Looks like the Camries have finally got someone to paint their race

Nice painting of the Ravens logo

Perhaps they can name it the Robert Shaw race.

pretty embarrassing that supporters of 8 SANFL clubs have to hold hands together to be able to say they combined have more supporters than 1 old club. That's rather lame

52,233 at the Port vs Hawks game... Not bad.

How many were humans. Any pets rocked up?

Dude I was in the dogs section, it stank like shit. I couldn't help but think of Ross Lyon's gameplan the entire night.
