Been holding onto that one for a while REB.

Gets rolled out more often than a gimp.

I'll have to take your word for it Booney.

"Mate, I tried speaking to a couple of people at the dinner about how rambunctious they were. Look, mate, don't get me wrong, we love having people spend a truck load of money with us each week to eat and drink, it helps our bottom line. Like the free rent at Football Park, it all adds up and helps us in the end, but, mate, we don't really like opposition fans enjoying their experience here at Adelaide Oval. We want them to come over, but our 19th men/women/children/don't identify as anything like a certain style of atmosphere, you know mate, a sterile one where we make noise when we want. You know, mate, like the "Eddie" chant we all love and some of the ones we practiced, they don't go as well as we had hoped to be honest. It's just the cheering for the other team our customers don't much care for" - A Fagan*




















*Might not have been A Fagan

This is what happens when you insert a heartless corporation into the AFL instead of the a real football club like Norwood or Sturt. The Crows are a hideous Frankenstein, hastily bolted together to stick it up Port. They ran out to a tv commercial with a bunch of Glenelg rejects and Cornsey as coach and they were the 'team for all South Australians'. Give me a break. The Crows are just a tarted up Brisbane Bears.

This!

What a f**king stupid thing by Fagan and the club. Who cares if opposition supporters were cheering in the corporate area, some Crows fans need to HTFU and get over themselves.

Seriously, what a good way to put the club in a bad light. No amount of spin can make this a remotely plausible decision

[cracka]

Yep, embarrassing really.

[Ronnie]

When high value customers start complaining a business like the Crows do something about it, that's really what it comes down to.

Sending out the letter was wrong. Let me say that first up.
The ONLY possible explanation is this membership package is designed to cater for those who do not like the 'interaction' with opposition supporters. It would be their expectation that their football experience in this room is amongst Crows supporters only who are like minded.
$6800 a year is a hefty price to pay. Only 30 members I believe (not sure how many attendees this gives you). Say even if there were 100 people in this room, it's 100 vs 45-50,000 in the outer (not taking into consideration corporate boxes).
To paint the whole supporter base the same way is naïve.

Make the membership non-transferable then.

[MW]

Maybe that is the solution.
Or the people who own the membership should be more selective of who they bring as guests if this type of thing offends them.

My weekly Facebook feeds do enough of that for me on top of the emails that our office get sent on Monday mornings when Adelaide are on top of the ladder despite how they went on the weekend.

Most Crow fans HATE Port supporters and the only thing I don't like about the Crows are 80% of their supporters, my old man was a shocker before he passed away and I have other family that are just so parochial, most focus more on Port being unsuccessful more than their own team becoming successful.

Maybe they should hire their own caterers and watch the game from home with their knitted scarf's and chardonnay.

I'm not getting into a debate about which supporters want opposition teams to be unsuccessful....just look at the last couple of pages on here.

Yeah, I think this event has rattled the locals, you're a bit of a straight shooter, a lot aren't.

Speaking of supporters, you wouldn't happen to be one of the small group of supporters that stand behind the goals at the northern end of Richmond Oval for home games by any chance?

[MW]

Nope. I'm normally found either on the eastern wing in the kids zone if they come with me, or the western wing terrace.

If they want a crows supporters only experience, stay at home with your crows mates. When they go to a game they'll come across opposition supporters in one way or another

Do you know the ones I'm referring to? They were there for the Norwood game so I assumed that was their usual posi so they can bang the fence.

[Gozu]

Embarrassing and shame on Fagan this is the kind of thing you would've expected from Trigg, you don't pander to these yuppies I don't care how much they put into the club. If being treated to the audacity of someone cheering for the opposition offends them so much tell them to stay at home in their little bubbles.

[Booney]

Nothing like a rich prick having his self importance commensurate with his contribution.

[Wedgie]

Well if an issue sums an entire football club and it's supporters this is it.
Having said that I do really enjoy working at AO for Crows games, they are really nice people to serve. West Coast and Melbourne fans were great too.
