If you exclude welfare payments, have Port ever made a profit?

I feel for morrell though, we'll all chip in so that you can get some new teeth, but sorry that we can't help you find out who your Dad is.

AS Dedja pointed out the money generated by SMA due to footy in this state is backed by the government

Port and Adelaide Footy club clubs could be wiped out tomorrow (wont happen) by the AFL if they wanted to under their licencing structure and two new AFL franchises created and played at Adelaide oval

the $$$ would still come in

its footy money not Port and Crows money

I used to go to Port games as a neutral thanks to free tickets from the SANFL.

I brought beers and chips to support footy in this state not Port.

So I want the profit from my $$$ going back to the SANFL thanks.
So let me get this straight

When Port and tha Crows generate money, it's "footy" money? But when the $ANFL clubs generate money, thats their money?

That's some bullshit $ANFL Boomer math mate.

When your playing at a SMA/SANFL manged venue yes, yes it is....

That's modern footy business, SAFooty Acquaintance,

You wanted to join the big footy world mate

Imagine being so cooked as to think that losing the 500 supporters of the 1996 franchise and the 3 supporters of the 1990 franchise (and their apricot slice) that actually attend their reserves games, is going to have any impact on the SANFL, let alone a drastic one. (Nine years and counting that we've been waiting for fans of the cancers to explain what benefit their reserves offer to the SANFL, BTW).

Methinks the wharfie doth protest too much...
:lol:
It's not the crowd sizes. It's the respect and marketability the competition has amongst younguns. Which in turn erodes the business model.

Not one kid wants to grow up to play for Westies. Or Glenelg.

Their heros aren't Liam McBean or James Battersby.

No one imagines running down the wing on Prospect Oval in front of a dozen old farts.

I agree the AFL teams didn't offer much to the $ANFL, they couldn't, it's like giving a heart attack victim an apple.

You know you've won the argument when ;)

In all seriousness I do feel for some of you. Change is hard. Especially when Port leaves you in the dust. I get it.

You'll all be ok.

I hate to tell you, but the kids don't really use Facebook. I wouldn't be surprised if he's forgotten all about it.

No, not at all.

None of us can get a root at home, so this is the only fun we've got.

Bring back the 80’s and early 90’s.

Yeah fair enough but you were already screwed by the Power 10 years ago when they dissolved the club that won all those flags so they could have some income from a pub for the AFL. I do feel for you and the very few loyal real fans that didn't jump on the new club's bandwagon.
At least they won't be disrespecting you anymore by wearing the guernsey of the club they killed off.
