great work Adelaide.

'ken awesome :-)

Nobody is in the mood today to make fun of Anon #468609 spelling it "sauce" instead of "sauce"...okay fair enough.

Very good news about the 8,127 tickets sold, it's good hopefully making a nice tidy profit for the night for the club and it's good for what should hopefully be an amazing and almost unprecedented atmosphere to experience. I've got my tickets and i'm keen!

*source* - awkward.

Nah, it was a fair call - This is too good of an event to be derailed.


It's great to see a sold out event, no Crows playing in Adelaide on the weekend to compete and no basketball games/trainings to compete with either, or any work the next day. If I remember correctly, there are 7,800 seats (or is it capacity?), so that leaves 327 for Standing Room/Corp Boxes (if not included in Seats).

Hopefully we will see a sea of blue, some really good media build up and a 36ers win!

Glad the tickets got sold... eventually.

Last crowd this size was Brett's farewell.

Now how to get people there every week, not just one game each decade.


KET - I believe sauce was intentional ;)

Woo, good stuff Adelaide

how many would have they sold if there had been a bigger venue ?

move it to the A.T.&T. stadium

KET, "sauce" is pretty common and intentional on sports forums in that context.

Evidently my internet lingo is lacking

Hope the refs give the Wildcats a bit more of a fair go in Game 2. They were obviously so concerned about being seen to be influenced by the crowd that a lot of soft calls went Adelaide's way. If they even the register up a bit in Game 2, Wildcats should come away with the W.

let's hope that the roof stays on, and ennis doesn't get more freethrows than our team agen

36ers nation baby! Its our time to shine boys.

Shout out to blaze demise assisting with wright cadee teysey peach.

You forgot Gibson, our Captain

And gibbo of course.

Gimme 6ers by 2.

Peach needs to lock down redhage and creek to take ennis.

Fair matchups all over, will come down to shot percentage..

Great Job Adelaide! It's live across the country on one and I can't wait to watch this over the footy!

I thought the record attendance at the AA was 8,200 set in Brett Maher's last home game.

Either way, if its a sell out thats good. We should see more of it.

"Hope the refs give the Wildcats a bit more of a fair go in Game 2." Do you mean more of a fair go than the Cats' 47 times at the free throw line to the 36ers' 13?

Good crowd and wonderful that they will get to watch the final game of the season.

NBL Referee manager Mal Cooper has conceded Adelaide was on the wrong end of a few calls and hard done by.

Well no sh*t sherlock.

What did Mal say?

I heard him say the discrepancy wasn't apparent watching the game and he was going to review the tape.

Has he followed up these comments?

9300 odd was the record attendance going back many years ago. reckon it might have been a netball game

I believe the Wildcats Dancers surrounded the Fire Chief's office and danced provocatively until he agreed to turn down the request

Hahahahahahahahaha

lol

If NBL Referee manager Mal Cooper finds that some calls went against the 36ers, what do they plan to do about it. It was a grand final game that could have gone the other way and with Adelaide hosting game 2 tomorrow night, it could have been a clean sweep and a championship in front of Adelaide home crowd. Will they just sweep it under the carpet and say shit happens. Doesn't matter how hard you work throughout the season to get to that position, it only takes the refs to destroy it all.

Ummmm ladies - what did Mal actually say?

I've not seen any comments that match the outrage here.

Put up or shut up folks

nailna3, the 9,300 netball crowd you're talking about is probably the 2010 ANZ Grand Final at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.

The Adelaide Arena in its current form can't hold 9k, let alone 9,300.
