2008 Season
The 2008 season has been of particular note for several reasons. During the home and away season, the club had 51,583 fans through the gate, the highest total attendance for an SANFL home ground in recent history. On average, 5,158 fans attended each game at Challenge Recruitment Oval in the 2008 season (up more than 2,000 from 3,039 in 2007). This included a record attendance of 11,827, the highest SANFL "home and away" crowd since the inception of the Adelaide Crows. The club was undefeated for 12 matches between 5 April and 12 July, won their first match at Elizabeth since 1992, and at Alberton since 1993. The club also won its first minor premiership since 1981, and made its first Grand Final since 1992.

Famous quotes containing the word season:
“The theater is a baffling business, and a shockingly wasteful one when you consider that people who have proven their worth, who have appeared in or been responsible for successful plays, who have given outstanding performances, can still, in the full tide of their energy, be forced, through lack of opportunity, to sit idle season after season, their enthusiasm, their morale, their very talent dwindling to slow gray death. Of finances we will not even speak; it is too sad a tale.”
—Ilka Chase (1905–1978)
