Port Adelaide Reunification Exceeds Expectations!

[Jim05]

Good on them. Still want them to collect a pair of wooden spoons this year though

[CENTURION]

Clearly I dont have access to the numbers, yet the figure on the media at one stage was a 1.8 - 2 mil loss. Considering the 1.3 that goes out of the budget to run the Magpies team of the club I think blind freddy can see what is going to happen to get the club back to profit.

Yes, the old PAP take on that $1.3m max commitment but they also get the existing revenue streams of the old PAM - memberships, merchandise, that Hotel etc. I don't know what that figure is but it's > $0!.

Already it seems OnePA is generating more revenue than PAM and PAP were generating on their own.

Give it time before we start back on the doomsday crystal ball predictions I reckon!

Good post .. A financially healthy Port should realistically be in everyone's best interests .. Hat's off to them for getting out of the blocks so quickly.

yep, true. I'm sick of hating Norwood so much, glad to go back to hating Port.

As long as the West Coast Eagles and South Adelaide participate in season 2011 that wont happen.

"We made the money in someone else's stadium, with a licence someone else paid for, spent a shitload on brand new facilities and upgrades then put our hand out for more money, but everything we generated is ours, all of it"
I'll reserve my congratulations for 3-5 years and see if the Port faithful are still backing up their chivalrous club.

Yeah I don't want to pay my bills either. I want to keep all of my wages, I earnt it why should anyone else get some?

Nice one Centurion !
Love being hated by Centrals.
It's OK we hate you right back.

But I would have had him at Alberton in a Heartbeat!

yeah, he could play. would have fitted right in with Fos Williams' handed-down-through-the-generations thuggery as well!

I agree it's good news. A strong Power might lead to increased SANFL distributions (though i doubt it).
Hopefully, now they can pay back the recent SANFL loan? Or at least start to. I'm not concerned about the AFL getting their minimal loan back.

Loan? It was not a loan, nothing to pay back.
It was subsidy for having a shit stadium deal from the greedy SANFL.

yep, it's the SANFL's fault.

The SANFL find out who barracks for Port and barricades their front doors on game day so they cant attend. Nefarious stuff.

They must do the same for 10,000 Crows supporters as well.

But seriously, if the "Team for ALL South Australians" can't post a profit, what hope does a single club like Port Adelaide have?
