Oval usage - Cricket

[Peter Doherty]

6K isnt that much in a 55K stadium, would have been that there

You're dreaming with your 20-25k call.

It's not 1996 anymore.

 

[rocket18]

Not on the final day, itll be 20-25K I would suggest. Particularly if it looks like we are going to actually win the thing.

Not a chance theyll upgrade KRO, the ACC wont allow it.

Wow, talk about bandwagoners!!

Lucky to get a couple of hundred watching their regular games, get a slight increase for the final but if they look like winning then 25,000 come out of the woodwork on the last day.

With supporters like that they don't deserve to play at Adelaide oval.

 

[Cromulant]

Then we get 8k to our open training sessions

Were you at the game ??

FWIW they do count staff and families in all AO crowd numbers

Hmmm yeah right, move on son

Certainly wont at KRO

No, but I saw it on tv. Obviously I’m putting a fair bit of mayo.

 

[Geoffa32]

If it wasn't for this request, hardly anyone woukd know the Shield is still being played and we are in the Final.

Bumper crowd at KR oval tomorrow to show some support?

 

[Cromulant]

No, but I saw it on tv. Obviously I’m putting a fair bit of mayo.

Nah 6K is a fair assumption

Would anyone know..... gee thats a shit response.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Certainly wont at KRO

Or the Adelaide Oval.

 

[Cromulant]

Or the Adelaide Oval.

Disagree, but hey thats fine.

Decision has been made, we will move on

 

[Geoffa32]

Would anyone know..... gee thats a shit response.

It is true though.


No one's cares about it, but they want to feel outraged at the injustice of the Shield Final not being played at AO.

An injustice the SACA opened themselves up to.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Would anyone know..... gee thats a shit response.

No, it's not.

A tiny, tiny percentage of people would be able to tell you who even played in last year's final.

Probably only Lawrie Coliver would be able to tell you which teams have won the last two finals.

 

[Cromulant]

No one who doesnt like cricket cares, thats fine.

And I do agree with the last sentence, its totally on them. They must have greased the wheels to get KRO too.

 

[Cromulant]

When the guys won the last game against the Vics, it was the leading sport story.

But yeah no one cares....

 

[Redline]

27th of March actually

I don't think that's right.

The A Grade District Final is scheduled for the 29th and 30th of March at Karen Rolten Oval. Maybe they're got a few days extension but I think it's the end of March.

Adelaide Footy League doesn't start until the following weekend.

Slow news day.

20-25k on a work day to witness domestic cricket greatness?

So if it was on a weekend, maybe 30-50k?

 

[FR0GGY]

Can someone set up a nearest to the pin for the crowd number?
Either last day or total numbers?

 

[Cromulant]

Slow news day.

Its funny, yoyve been crying this whole thread... and you want to have a go at me.

The decision has been made, its done. Lets see which one of us gets on with life quicker. Seeing the responses from you and others, I think itll be me.

 

[Dc9798]

A common sense decision has been made, and if they're worried about crowd capacity at Karen Rolton Oval they should bring in one of those temp stands they use for the Clipsal.

They cant, thats the issue

 

[spenze]

Yeah you can, you ask for forgiveness, not permission.

Honestly, it wouldn't be that hard to put temporary seating up there to increase crowd numbers to 5 or 6 k and then hire 60 portaloos.

 

[FR0GGY]

They cant, thats the issue

Why not? They held a speedway in the parklands.
A few grandstands will be no issue.

Its the banking on the West tce side thats the issue.

And the distinct lack of space around KRO as a whole, if youve ever been there
