@twmarlin It was breath-taking. And it shook all of Australia ... because of the surprise element of Adelaide coming out in forces to see a true Adelaide team - and Australia had not see such a crowd turnaround for a home league team - 2,000 one week for 20 years, then over 16,000 the week after (Perth did have the lead on us in being first). They could not get them all in. There were lines outside of Hindmash and hundreds missed out.

I was there at the inaugrial game. I remember both Adelaide and Brisbane players were SHOCKED at the attendance. 4 weeks earlier, Adelaide City were getting their usual 2,000. When they threatened to leave ... and did ... the AU stepped in and EVERYBODY in Adelaide came out in force. They had been waiting for a CULTURALLY NEUTRAL team for over 20 years ... and the opportunity final came. Even though Brisbane lost, THEY TOO were clapping back at the crowd at the end, in AWE!
