I agree.

I agree.

Perhaps not calling ourselves Port may have had an impact, maybe not. Who knows?

Yes, fascinating revelations, as I said. :lol:


i agree that they are obvious statements :roll: sometimes all the bullshit gets in the way of the facts :roll: so come up with something that will fascinate me on why your numbers are always down??.. even when it is 22 and fine.. and there is no shows on..lets face it you are even giving cars away to get more numbers now :roll:

South Coast Power would probably sell out Footy Park.

At least 40K every week.

No doubt.

Callington has more than 20,000 paid up members? WOW.

So assuming that each member pays, let's say $5 per season, which may be a bit steep given the clubs current plight, you have $100,000 to spend on players, oval maintenance, clubrooms etc.

Well, you're clearly not spending it on oval maintenance or clubrooms, which leaves players.........

$100k / 22 players is just over $4500 per player per year. Assuming 18 games, each player could receive $250. You'd think your club would have kicked a few more goals with players getting paid so well. :roll: :roll: :roll:

No, but it does have an ejector seat for your girlfriend and a special tool which helps you evade breathalysers. The tool usually sits in the drivers seat.

You dont get it,do you?

Your points are spot on, not call ourselves Port, dont get 30,000 to a club that has 20,000 members. This topic has been debated at legth on here and the same answers are always reached and you paraphrased them......

Hence why I said :

If I was to know the answers I would discuss it...the fact I understand the problems but dont have the answers seems reason enough to not discuss it.

Couple that with the endless debate on this topic and Im outta here....
