....... AND THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS PORT POWER

Good.. There shouldn't be.
The second licence should have gone elsewhere!

AND THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS PORT POWER

The club song did finish with those two words for the first couple of years of their existance - can hardly blame the public for it sticking as a name to some extent.

Yeah, just like it took years to shake off the "Camry Crows" thing..

I remember back about 10 years ago when I was 18, wearing a Power hat to a Magpies game. Some opposition supporter had a real crack 'you're not at the AFL dickhead' I think he said. Funnily enough, he was wearing a Crows hat....he didnt like what I replied with.

I wore a Power hat at Prospect one day, and a North supporter in front of the bar told me to **** off to the AFL. The funny thing was he was wearing a Chelsea hat, so I told him to **** off back to the soccer, which was greated by laughter by his mates.

ask the Magpie faithful who drink at the Alberton what they think of the Power and why they don't drink at the Club anymore.....one of my best mates is one of these people........

why does a Magpie Champion who played for the Power hate them so much he refuses to go to any Power Functions and would rather be a member of Collingwood then give his money to the Power......this he told me so himself which stunned me!

the division between the two clubs is very real and it is not small by any means !............

How sad that some Magpie faithful from alberton and perhaps elsewhere (port supporters are actually spread over australia as well as Alberton) did not get any satifaction when :

Jack Cahill first coached at the games highest level against the crows and won.
Bucky Cunningham gained widespread respect as he mixed it with AFL ceo's.
Fos Williams son coached a Port side to its first AFL grand final.
Russell Eberts son was drafted under the father son rule (ask the faithful to explain that one).
Michael Wilson and Byron Picket (to name a couple) proudly wore the famous prison bar guernsy in an AFL game.
Graham cornes's sons earned All Australian honours playing for Port Adelaide.

I guess some people are never happy !!!
Good to see many Port Adelaide people are still upbeat

I was proud to see those things but not the cornes boys because All Australian, Bays fans have a ruight to be proud of that. I have my reasons for No longer following the power most of which was getting crap when i wore any magpies gear to power matches from other port supporters. When the Power first wore the prison bar gurnsey i was there although i had already given up on the Power and so were otehrs like me who only follow the Magpies.

Try wearing your St Kilda jumper to a Power or Magpies game then lol

I do wear my saints jumper to Power matches when they are playing St Kilda. What reaswon wouldl i have to wear my saints stuff to magpie games when i have plenty of Maggies gear to wear?

I have no problem with people who follow both clubs and those who follow only one Port side. You will never have all Magpie fans following the Power. THe Power are gaining supporters from other SANFL clubs and those who don't follow SANFL. in my view if you follow the magpies and then should follow the Power wouldn't you then say that all Power fans should follow the Magpies? This arguement is getting old. Both clubs are seperate, share a histroy and the longer this arguement goes on the more supporters will be turned away from both clubs.

And adding tio my other post i will be watching to see both the Eber boys play each other tomorrow
