News 11 June 2020 - Restarting the 2020 AFL season

[JUSTWORK]

Corporate boxes where you have social distancing, SMA members and probably 100 cheer squad members will have a lot of crowies. Got have 2 sets of cheer squads.

Plus each club will probably have 100-150 officials and staff each. Each club should invite all staff stood down and dismissed before any corporate's, SMA members and club members are selected.

Opinion or is this based on anything?

 

[Grave Danger]

lol, we're gonna have the smallest ever showdown crowd
AFL better not make it an official crowd.

and ZERO crow members, it's our home game!!

...and the SMA will probably find a reason to send us a big bill for something or other.

Corporates based on what is happening at other sports stadiums - clearly show social distancing to authorities.

Rest is opinion based.

 

[simba_]

basically anyone in attendance will be spending big on light beer and crap food in the boxes or at the stalls, they love taking advantage of the most passionate fans. AFL house wins again!!

The crows will always have the smallest afl crowd in sa forever due to round 1 lol, but yes should be 90% port fans but won't be

May be imagining things, recon I read somewhere that it may be 2K plus corporates.

SMA members can get stuffed, the majority of tickets should go to PAFC members who pledged.

 

[Arsene Wenger]

I dont care what it takes and how small the crowd will be. I want to be there.

I agree with you on SMA members but they will put pressure on Port offer some scaps to us to let them in. They will probably try and get some sort of government ruling fior 10-15% of the 2k to be their members.

There is a great thread on the main board - been going for about 15 years and gets bumped every September, called Sneaking into the Grand Final. There are some great tips in there.

It will be 2,000 + 240 into corporate rooms.

There are the 32 x 18 people super boxes. Both clubs have a room for 100 people. The SANFL has has 2 rooms about 60 people each can fit in them and the SACA has 2 or 3 rooms the Gil Langely room fits 80, another room 40, and the SACA Committee room about 20. There are some 12 people enclosed boxes the 2 clubs sell for their home games as well as a whole lot of 10 and 12 people open boxes.

A crowd of 2000 spectators will be able to attend Saturday’s Showdown with another 240 attendees in private areas given the all-clear from South Australian authorities.

“Football and crowds are back in South Australia,” Premier Steven Marshall announced today. “It’s a good reward for people in South Australia who have done the right thing.”

Marshall said South Australia would become the first state to allow crowds at a major sporting event as part of the staged lifting of pandemic restrictions.

Police Commissioner Grant Stevens said the state’s transition committee had met today and decided that the Showdown would have a crowd of 2000 people in the general area and another 240 people in private rooms.

Who is saying this?

 

[PAFC66]

Just realised crows had zero in round one so probably should be a 50/50 attended showdown considering there's only one this year.

 

[Willsy10]

Why wouldn't it be 2000 port fans, it's our home game isn't it?

 

[Capital Power]

There will be a small crowd I heard. Not sure how it will be worked out who gets to go.

So once again our home showdown gets turned into a neutral game. I'm betting there's no way we get a majority of available tickets for our supporters.

Lets wait for the club to announce something.

Don't know how accurate it is but given he is a sports reporter.

 

[PAFC66]

I wonder where they'll seat them all? Behind the goals or in wing would look ok

They have.

I'm going to assume about 10/bay + a cheer squad of about 200 at each end.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Any idea how they are allocating tickets ? A lottery seems silly, people probably won’t go if only one out of a group of people go.

Reasonably well spread out I’d imagine.

It's gonna look like Primus days.

Who ever gets to go, wear prison bars and paint the place black and white!
