I freely admitted Port received that money UK Fan. I was questioning where it came from, how it was paid back and the structure of the deals that enabled it.
You've so blatantly changed your argument. But at least we've manged to get you to shift your thoughts.
Keep in mind you originally claimed Port just received 16m dollars from the SANFL like they walked up and withdrew it from the ATM.

See, you're doing it again - conflating this mythical "SA Football" with the SANFL.
The SANFL is a league, it doesn't represent the entire interest of football in this state, heck, it doesn't even represent a majority. It is now a minority stakeholder. And a diminishing one at that.
Football (not the SANFL league, but the sport) in this state is healthy because smart people have been able to lift their eyes out of the petty state oriented bullshit you're stuck in.
Use some strategic thought, come along and stand on the hill at the amazing Adelaide Oval next Thursday with me when Port play Hawthorn with 50k "SA football" supporters, I'll buy you a beer, you'll have a great time! Then Saturday come alone to Para Hills for the top of the table clash of Para Hills vs Mitchell Park and see the ammos run around for a dose of local footy. Then on Sunday come help me goal umpire and we can watch the juniors strut their stuff to see the next generation.
It'll be awesome mate, PM your mobile #, I promise you it'll lift your spirits.

The SANFL (no, not SA football) got into 45m worth of debt because no one cares about tinpot state leagues, yes.
UK Fan wrote:Why don't you simply come out and say you hate sa football. That's what this really is about at the end of the day.
Freely admit I dislike the SANFL. I don't hate, that's too strong a word in these dark times. I *love* SA Football though. It's my passion, actually.
