So you are happy with a tennant free loading?
Fact is that all that land is SANFL owned, the Cows are no longer owned by the SANFL so surely must become paying tennants

Surely the crows would have some clause of not paying rent since they paid for the facility.

So your saying the Crows paid for the facility yet weren't formed until 1990 some 17 years after the facility was opened.

If you had bothered to read the thread from the start you would realise we were talking about the training facility that the crows built.

not really. The work done by the SANFL clubs prior to 1991 is what allowed the crows to be formed.

My plan is to shift to a Summer Comp! Play at nights, provide Commercial TV with a replacement during the AFL off season and only compete against cricket (which has lost a lot of it's appeal in recent years) and the A League (room for both- different market)

Back to the glory days?

Hence my post that the crows would have a clause about paying rent since they built the TRAINING FACILITY.

From SANFL website:
"Adelaide will pay $11.326 million while Port Adelaide will pay $6.985 million in grants between 2013 and 2028

In addition, the Heads of Agreement outlines that:
•The AFL have confirmed that the SANFL will continue to manage Game Development in South Australia, and to that end provide the SANFL with annual AFL Game Development Grants over the same period, a figure which would total approximately $29 million with CPI ($1.4 million in 2013); and
•The AFL has committed to continue to provide appropriate annual AFL Talent Development Fees to the SANFL, a figure which would total approximately $16 million at existing levels (average of $1.0 million per year); and
•That the SANFL will continue to be managed by an independent commission

You do realise over the many many years that Port have been around, we have received more handouts from the SANFL then the crows ever will.

Edited for accuracy.

Good move Power should and if you go belly up in the future you can now get help from the AFL'S bottomless money pit instead of sponging off the SANFL.
