It appears from the overall comments so far that Port fans are very progressive and open to change whereas everyone else is just stuck in the past and doomed to extinction.
How does this change sound to you:
It's been clear for quite a while that the PAFC in its current state is not sustainable. A few suggestions of change that might help:
- Potential relocation to another city to draw bigger and less fickle crowds. Hobart Power sounds like a good idea.
- Rebranding within SA. A name change to something like the Southern Power to attract people put off by the whole insular Port tribal mentality. Calling yourselves the Southern Power will highlight your link to SA - after all you complain a lot about the Crows calling themselvesThe Team For All South Australians. Perhaps you can embrace more of the SA part than the Alberton part of your identity.
- Change of colours to remove the black and white with a more vibrant feel to it.
- Get rid of 1870 off the back of your guernsey and get rid of silly references to history and tradition in that children's nursery rhyme of a club song.
I'm sure you guys can think of a few more ideas that will help Port out.
After all you guys are just so open to the idea of change.
Happy brainstorming.

I wouldn't think the SANFL gets much exposure as it is on main stream media. It's more stations like Life FM and 5rph, the messenger papers and I would be pretty confident they would continue to support the SANFL.
This is the day and age where people go directly to the 'information' they want (thanks to search engines etc etc). Example being if someone really wants to find out a score they will go on the net and do so before they wait around for channel 9 to show them. Providing they can advertise smartly and have the information available when people go looking I think they will be fine.
I also wouldn't think there would be to many sponsors of the SANFL that are just because of the minimal main stream exposure we currently get.

And the bosses at the SANFL doesn't want the comp to start losing media coverage and lose all AFL players and it will happen. Imagine next year tex walker comes back next year through the reserves, the media would all over that game, and if its in the SAAFL there would be a bigger crowd than SANFL.
I'll let the club know to order an extra pallet of beer, given Jarryd Lyons could be playing tomorrow and Matty Wright is.
I mean they going to bring at least an extra 1000 each through the gate....

Much like Ports, it certainly wont be dominating.

I'd be more worried about the coverage of the game then anything. You wouldn't lose sponsor over tv news and paper, but I'd suggest there could be some lost because of the tv deal.

Agree, though I'm not sure that the AFL reserves issue will be a factor in whether the ABC broadcasts games or not.
