How the **** did I miss that?! :eek: This world cup is causing some serious sleep deprevation....I think it's starting to mess with my head!

I'm willing to ignore the obvious stereotyping in order to imagine how freakin hilarious that would be! :thumbsu:

You guys started in 1892, we started wearing black and white in 1903. I'm not sure if 11 years qualifies as "long before" but if it does then Port Adelaide was around "double long before" Collingwood came into existence! We also won 31 titles in 93 years in the black and white compared to...

Lol. I still don't think it rhymes but :thumbsu: for thinking outside the square! Anyone seen a silver vulva? ;)

No it doesn't bitch. The 'der' and 'ver' ends don't rhyme. Premature phantasm! ;)

We only claim these as part of our heritage because they're quite simply are apart of our heritage. It's not Port Adelaide stealing Collingwood's heritage, we just happen to have a similar heritage in terms of colours/jumper/mascot. I don't think Port Adelaide ever expected Collingwood to...

I would say that 95% of Port supporters would admit after the last 5 weeks that we aren't as good as our 5-2 record in round 7 suggested...so if that is your primary motivation for hating Port Adelaide more than Carlton, Essendon and Richmond combined then I think it's a bit thin. And no-one...

I'm pretty sure that nothing rhymes with "silver" either. I could be wrong but i can't think of any. By the way somebody call up Oxford and get them to make "slurple" a word! Best sounding word since "phantasm" imo. I thought phantasm was a joke like a "phantom orgasm" or something, but...

I had a go at raising the yellow bar on your design craxzydan (like I mentioned in the previous post). I reckon it looks alright.....sort of reminds me of the current socceroos kit. I added the old school West Torrens Eagles logo underneath because there was a bit too much empty space in the...

He was actually leading the SANFL in goals until about round 6 or 7, about the same time Tredrea went down. Everyone thought that Salts would slide right in....but instead he only got the Richmond game and choco had him doing the kick-ins! And then he dropped him after one game that was played...

17. That's the crowd and the margin! ;)

No it's just been on my mind. It really annoys me that they started out with something half decent and have somehow managed to uglify things beyond all recognition! I like this! Reminds me of the first one they had. It could even look good with the yellow bar raised a bit to increase the...

Since merging in 1991, the Woodville-West Torrens Eagles have been one of the more successful clubs in the SANFL. In their 19 years of existence they've won 2 premierships, made 7 GF's and been in the finals 15 times. But they've never been able to settle on a jumper, which has somehow...

It sounds like a Woodville-West Torrens jumper. Blue and green have only appeared on an SANFL jumper together since 1991 (Woodville/WT merger). I don't know about the black though. Can you draw it?

Are you telling me that the Richmond/Brisbane games were total sell-outs and that 20,000 people decided not to show up? If these waiting list people are such dedicated followers surely they would snap up GA tickets to go to games when they get the chance.

Why didn't all these "camrys in waiting" turn up to your 31,000 richmond and brisbane games? They must be quality supporters. Half of them are probably concession card holders anyway....they might die before they get tickets! I hope they build plenty of access ramps at AO! :thumbsu:

Rarely get 20,000? We have got over 20,000 to every game this year except the one that was played in torrential rain. Nice try though.

10% of their membership base also consists of "concessions" (compared to 5% at Port), so If anything they're gonna go backwards when all the oldies start dying off!

This was my overall point, crowds drop with performance. I didn't go and google the exact crowd figures for both years but from memory your crowds are looking a lot thinner than they were at the tail end of last year when you were flying. The relevance of this is that Port's average of 24,000...

Read above your last post.

The stadium deal that is currently being drawn up by the SMA (the SANFL/SACA love-in) will be designed to deliver an extra $8 million dollars to both Port and the Crows. For Port Adelaide this is the difference between posting a loss of $4 million this year and a profit of $4 million...

I said that Hawthorn's membership numbers are bogus (because you can buy one for your dog!), which effectively means that Adelaide have the most members of any club in the AFL. But despite this they will not return a profit this year because of the set-up that they (and Port) have with the...

You can put your hands over your ears, jump up and down and shout it all day, but it still doesn't make it true. Your additional 15,000 members will not save you from making a loss. You see how it's more complicated than how many members you have? With a clean deal both Port and the Crows...

I apologise, I misread what you posted. As I said before Port Adelaide don't have the luxury of having other "Adelaide-based" clubs pump up its numbers every second week, so it's not really fair to compare Port with a Melbourne-based club. Of course the club would like to do better but...

There is no difference. Adelaide have weathered this arrangment better because they have more members than any AFL club bar the Hawks (which is bogus anyway), but even they are going to be in the red this year! How ridiculous is that. The club with the effectively the most members of any club...

You got 26,000 per game because supporters from other melbourne clubs knew they were going to see a guaranteed win! Your supporters were porbably no-where to be seen! Port started that year 1-1-10. It's still our worst start ever and we finished 14th (hardly "mid-table"). But you're right...

You deleted parts of the quote because you don't like the sound of the facts. You're like a christian that goes around claiming that the old testament is irrelevant to their religion because it doesn't fit in with what they want to believe. That's pathetic.

This is not true. I'll say it one more time. Port's 2009 revenue was just under $32 million, but the SANFL grabbed around $11 million through sub-licence fees and the stadium deal. We then had a deficit of $2.9 million so they sent some of our money back to cover it. We're not unsustainable...

The answer to this pathetic sentence is in the part of the quote you deleted.

Everyone needs to calm down and stop being so alarmist. We have over 30,000 members and whilst our average crowds are currently in the 20's, they will shoot up to the 30's as soon as we stop dishing up rubbish football. We got over 30,000 to the Carlton game in round 8 when it looked like the...
