PAFC is dying

[FOURTH ESTATE]

Was the Woodville Football club that played in the amateurs the same one that went on to play Reserves in the SANFL, in addition to League in SANFL from 1964 to 1990?

Yes it is. Don't know how they got into the SANFL as they weren't that successful in the SAAFL.

[Magpies96]

Yep, get rid of the 2nd AFL license and the 4 million dollars profit it makes the SANFL every year. MORONS!

yep and the sanfl/afl gives it back to them as a bale out....sensible????? i dont think!!!

You don’t understand 4 Million every year? The SANFL gave Port back 4 million back as a once off, because they screw them with the stadium deal. The SANFL are still way out in front. The SANFL clubs would be poorer without Port in the AFL.

Can we actually get past using 'Gay' to denote that something is inherently inferior?
(I suspect I know the answer.)

As long as it rhymes with "Bays" I expect to hear it from opposing fans

Well it was/is in your song after all...

Relocate if supporting the development of football at the grassroots level is too big a burden to bear.

I think there was the big push to get the team from Elizabeth in and nobody thought an odd number of teams and a bye was a good idea,

There were two schools of thought, either relocate the perennially unsuccessful South Adelaide to Elizabeth or bring in Central plus another side. I know that other areas mooted for the other side include the Hills and Kensington but I believe the primary "official" reason was that the Woodville council was the largest in the state and therefore more likely to be able to support a league side. The "unofficial" reason was that bringing in Woodville would weaken Port Adelaide, instead it killed off Torrens and to a lesser extent weakened West and North Adelaide.

I have often mentioned that South survived by the casting vote of the league president after the 8 clubs were locked 4 all. Remember South had never finished higher than sixth in an eight team competition between 1945 and 1964. It was somewhat ironic that they would win the flag in 1964, the first year that Central and Woodville came into the competition. South were bottom again within 5 years, in 1969.

basic maths 4-4=0.surely its not that hard to understand!!!!

[beenreal]

Of course the fact that Pafc has basically generated the same amount of profit each year for the last 5 years is totally lost on you.

Therefore basic maths is 20M - 4M = 16M

If PAFC recorded profits for the last 5 years, why then did the SANFL keep on bailing them out?

Basic maths; profit + bail out = ?

[Magpies96]

Hahaha you morons, it was a once off payment by the SANFL and AFL, you don't understand $4 million profit to the SANFL every year?

[Jim05]

Yeah but what about this year, then the next etc, etc. With the pathetic crowds getting lower every year who knows how long port will keep getting money thrown at them. I hope they do turn it around for the good of everyone but cant see it happening

my point exactly jim!!! i have total respect for the magpies,just dont want to see them driven out of the sanfl by their poor cousins (pap),because they have alienated the true magpie supporters and members.
