But anyone can comment

Interested to ask those Port fans who try their best to support both clubs, where will they be this Saturday?

At AAMI Stadium for a Crows Home Showdown
or
At Alberton Oval where the Magpies are hosting the Panthers

I have a wedding I have to go to.

Its at 2:30 so depending how long it goes for I might sneak to Alberton for the second half to see my first Magpies game since 2008.

I go to all the Magpie games but there are only 2 Showdowns so I'll be at footy Park. Thanks SANFL!

Your own wedding Macca?

haha, nah not mine....I wasnt stupid enough to hold mine during footy season.

DOC - I moved 300kms from Adelaide halfway through 2008 and my job involves me working most weekends plus Uni assignments/exams all through footy season. Only managed 3 or 4 AFL games and 0 SANFL games last year after going to about 10-11 AFL and 17-18 SANFL games every year before that. Literally every weekend where I didnt have to work, didnt have exams and could make it down to Adelaide it was a bloody bye.

Nice to see where your loyalties really are.
Its a Crows home showdown. Your ticket purchase supports the Crows. Why not save that money and spend it at Alberton on Sat?

I've lost count on how many Crows games I've missed due to clashes with matches at Norwood.

Correct me if I'm wrong but its probably the first time a Magpie game clashes with a Power game at Footy Park, and its not even a Power home game. Stop whinging as it is people like you who are shafting the Magpies, not the SANFL.

But we cant see the results
Perhaps add a 3rd option: "Not a Port fan" ?

EDIT: Ignore this.

4-2 in favour of Showdown so far. I'm actually disgusted.

Unfortunately, I have to be in Mannum to help build a shack.

If I was home, it'd be Alberton for sure, runing upstairs at each interval to check out a few minutes of the showdown.

It's very disappointing that the program was done with this conflict, but I guess it is a Cows home game.

Anyhoo, up the Magpies, up the Power!

Hosting my clubs corporate box with a full crowd of Crows supporters, when the Power get up it will be very quiet at AAMI

It probably would have been easier if you were overseas.

Really, so my Footy park Membership supports the Crows. WOW, after all these years, I'd better stop buying one.

And I've said it before, the SANFL wants Port to pay its' way out of the malaise, so it could help just a little by not programming a home game, live on television, up against a Showdown.

OK i made the assumption that you were not a cat 1 member. Still not an excuse to skip Alberton.

So which club should host a game up against a Crows home Showdown then?

If you expect the SANFL to give the Magpies special assistance over the other 8 clubs, then I'm sorry, but you can get stuffed! Every club has had to host a match up against a Crows home game, multiple occaisions, why should Port be immune?

The SANFL had to program a match at this timeslot, and up against a Crows home showdown, a match at Alberton makes the most sense.

Please get it out of your head that the SANFL and its clubs have a vendetta against the Magpies. Its uneducated and getting old.

I thought if you were a Category 1 Member you were in fact a Power and a Crows member?
That was the case in the 90s when I was a member, have things changed?

I'm not a footy park member but my understanding is that you are a member of the SANFL only. You then pay a fee above your SANFL membership to be an actual member of the Crows or Power.

Must have changed then, for the purposes of the AFL Cat 1 members were members of both the Crows and Power when I held a Cat 1 ticket.
Thanks for the info.

Pretty sure that's correct. My old Man forks out $310 for a Cat 3 (I think that's what the Port game membership is called) SANFL membership. He doesn't get any of the benefits of a Port member and as far as I'm aware, is not counted as a Port member. He does get free entry to 4 SANFL games, so that's $40 value there.

Compare that to Port's platinum membership package, where for approx $300, you get the best seats in AAMI, full Port membership package and a guaranteed GF ticket, if heaven forbid we're unlucky enough to get there again.

Who are you to be critical of the decision he chooses to make and what game he goes to see? I take umbridge to the fact you think you have the right to tell him where he should go and the reasons why.

Well its not a secret that the Magpies are in deep poo. The power will be around for years to come. (FWIW, I dont think the Magpies will fold either)

If you dont want your SANFL club to die, show your support to them. Simple!
Most supporters of other clubs (myself included) want the Magpies to stay.

But sorry for trying to convince Magpies supporters to turn up at Alberton (on a site dedicated to SANFL) where they are needed most.

Thanks for reminding why I shouldnt have bothered at all.
