I worked out that approximately 20 to 30 Port supporters braved the driving rain early in the morning to venture down to the unfriendly Skilled Stadium. It occurred to me that barring the game against St Kilda at the MCG, recent interstate games to places like Lavington, Hobart and Launceston that Port Melbourne would have rarely played in front of a smaller supporter base.

Regardless, I think the crowd numbers back at Port have improved.. If only marginally.

How have the numbers been for your club?

At Frankston there has prob been somewhere around 8000 over four home games. If Aker plays this week you could prob add another 2500-3000 to that.

Have had two big crowds so far,6000 at Vic Park and 6000 on the Gold Coast,crowds at home have been quite good.
You can forget about Aker playing at Frankston this week,4 weeks out to get his hammy right.

Not that flash at Eureka Stadium.
Reminds me of the days gone by in the Ballarat football league when the more games you won the less people attended.
If they won't come when it's free what hope have you got !!!
