Somewhat agree as getting number 1 in the end is more about the staggering drop off from the Pies

We averaged around 46000 people per game which is actually surprising to me. I assume we averaged around 49000 at Adelaide Oval which means we averaged 43000 away, a great result when you consider the Tasmania game is in there.
GWS game too
It goes to show though, that even when the chips are down we are still the big dog in the yard in SA. Wait till the Roo changes are a happening!
Only team outside of SA to achieve this since the national comp got under way (although this record will be overtaken by WC and Freo in 2018)

When will they finish Adelaide Oval, so we can reach our full potential?
Add another 20,000 in the Great Northern Stand!
and FFS lets put the old scoreboard in a museum where it belongs. Its the digital age.

I do like the northern end but completing the oval with a northern stand would be great..
One day maybe..
Funny, we were sitting there talking about it today and picturing it enclosed with a stand like the Riverbank Stand..
We have a waiting list, every game was sold out and I'm sure we could have had attendances near 60 000..
We have to continue to attract that kind of support and have people continue to turn up to ever justify it happening one day though..
Yep, definitely believing this..
People love the place, it is attractive to attend for so many reasons and is a great centre piece to attract more into the future..
A number of people attend Port games now because they are easier to get into than Crows games, they would also have a higher number of neutrals..
We are missing out on this IMO as well as the waiting list and others into the future..
But don't see it happening for a while yet..
No way! It's the best part of the Oval! All the commentators rave about the northern end, with the old scoreboard, and standing room on the mound (or hill, or whatever you want to call it). Remove all that and you have a generic, boring stadium. Make seats hard to get, and you keep the romance alive.

Great effort by the 19th man today, we got there in the end. Don't forget in 1991 nearly all the Vic teams played at suburban grounds that held less than 30000.
To get 44,969 to a game that had nothing on it was great. The turnout in the Western stand was disappointing, but why the hell would they not allow guest passes right up to siren time??
And yes it was our 3rd lowest crowd this year, and don't forget that today's crowd was bigger than any attendance that we had at AAMI last year (apart from the last Showdown).

Someone told me that Port have been overselling general admin tickets which is something that the Crows have refused to do.

Are you sure? I thought on the TV today it said that Adelaide averaged 46000 per game. Were they talking about Adelaide Oval? Or the Adelaide Crows? I assumed the latter.
If it's the latter then our away average would need to be around 43000 since we played as many games away as we played at home (away Showdown aside)

Can't knock the loyalty of us who go along every 2nd week - even when our form is inconsistent.
Great result to knock the pies off their top perch.
Now just need to give us some reward next season with better form & we can break it again!

Apparently next year we will get a season opener at AO either on Thursday night or Good Friday but we also will have a lot of Sunday afternoon football
I'd be interested to see the drop in revenue for hospitality going from a Friday or Saturday arvo to a Sunday afternoon. Not good for fans or business
Our team sucks, but we're awesome.
Agree get rid of it! (runs away before cricket fans slaughter me)
For a team that has only one home game with a team from it's home state. Pretty damn good job! Well done Crow fans!
I don't see why we can't keep the hill as well as building a stand above it?
Build a slightly modified replica of the Riverbank Stand at the northern end (Cathedral Stand?) but leave an area for a few thousand people to stand. Would boost the ground capacity above 60,000 while keeping the unique and awesome standing area, plus it would make things way louder.

I think they'll re-do the Western stand before building on the North.
If say for instance we got The World Cup I think they would put temporary stands there.
