They'll only be told they're soft, bandwagonners, not real footy supporters, don't know real footy if its hits them in the head, etc so many times before they think, well stuff it, Im not going to go to an SANFL game if SANFL fans continuously bag me like that or don't make me feel welcome. I spend a bit of time in a soccer forum (only forum I can get on work computers) and the amount of crap generalisation and put down of other sports (ie every AFL supporters is a bogan, every Rugby League fan is a meathead, etc) has completely thrown me off every wanting to go to an A League game. Just a thought.
And power01, please don't go around calling people dickheads if you disagree with them, we don't encourage that here, we're more into discussing issue and having healthy factual based debates. (And it wont help your argument that all Power supporters aren't feral, it'll do the opposite) Cheers.
so it ok that he call all Power Supporters Feral??????????........................double standards I think wedgie

In some fairness to Power01 (who shouldn't have called MW a DH), MW did use the term 'feral' which is a term some of my fellow Crows supporters use too often. Use it, and you had better be prepared for some sort of response. Geez, I'd be ropeable if someone generalised Crows supporters as 'feral' - the same way I get p***d off at the generalisations that ARE thrown our way ... 4WD set, soft, not 'real' supporters.

Fully respect Power01's right to reply when he is insulted
I think it is the consensus of the Mods and site admin that we would prefer people on this site to avoid the abusive tems with vulgar connetations.
There are other websites that are more accepting of that sort of debate...
If Port supporters are considered feral/inbred/unemployed - Crows supporters can well be considered ignorant/snobs/bandwagonners/chardonney set/Cow lovers or any other term expressed about the Crows etc etc etc. I.e. better terms to use than D***head
FWIW I think the excuses given by Crows supporters for not attending becasue they fear that they are unsafe or can't sit in their normal seats is bollocks in my opinion.
Mind you I stand by original statement that if port have the passionate support and following they gone on about they should fill the stadium on their own too for a Showdown.
As I said IMO...
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Says something about the Port Power supporters loud and clear. Feral City.
With your choice of interesting words MW........we know who the real feral is dont we!!!...
Hehe, power01, seems the guy (MW) is keen on establishing himself as the most unpopular guy on the site, and is so far succeeding.
Because stating the bleeding obvious that Port Power can't sell out home games, even against the Crows, that makes me the most unpopular guy on site?....you must be a Port Power supporter for sure.
MW you really are a friggin Dickhead.......honestly its clowns like you that put people off our great game....may I suggest you crawl back under the rock that you came from.....
But Port Power supporters arent ferals with language like that?

Is that level of abuse necessary Power01??? Your no orphan though, christ people first sign you're losing an argument when you attack the person rather than the issue.
MW's statement is no more idiotic than any other on this site today...
In the same way that Crows "supporters" on the waiting list don't turn up or buy a ticket to an away showdown that they can't normally get - it is a legitamate question to ask that with a supporter base of arguably 35% of the state (~600 000 people - half of those in Adelaide) Port Power can't get their 15% of their supporter base in Adelaide to turn up to their games???
and is the argument against you tassie????????....i think not.....did I ask you opinion?......better still do I want to read you opinion?.........you might want to read all of MW's posts to gauge the full picture before you suffer another dose of foot in mouth
ps: tassie you havent read MW post coz if you had you would know I wasnt having an argument (prior to my last post)...it was purely based on the futile crap he post.......and yes it is idiotic to suggest every Power supporter is feral.................may i suggest read the posts properly!!!

See dude, its simple things like that as to why you get called feral. FFS can't you read? You do the cause more harm than I ever will. How the hell is it double standards when I criticise myself admitting that Im more guilty at it than most?
Christ, thank Barrie the Crows won yesterday.

FFS i can read!!... but obviously you didnt understand that the reference i made about double standards wasnt in reference to your actions....honestly wedgie forget it, its just not worth discussing...............you dont understand my point and thats fair enough I would expect nothing less.......

If you can read then you dont understand the English language.
How can it be a double standard if I put myself in the same category of those who Im criticising,ie using the same standard for myself and the target group?
Your point was it was a double standard when clearly its not.
Quite the opposite.
If you're going to make incorrect or stupid comments be prepared to be quizzed on it on this site as the level of intelligence is a bit higher than you're used to.
