Port were far worse off field in 2011 than North are today.port were never in serious danger and weren't close to the nothingness of North. someone just brought this up the other day. North over the last 5 years makes our worst 5 years look like a dream. the money problems stemmed from a poor deal that the AFL was never going to let kill us, they let us break away from the crippling stadium deal of west lakes and find solutions which we did!
Port were over $10m in debt in 2011 while North are debt free today.
Port were getting similar crowds in Adelaide in 2011 to what North are getting in Melbourne today.
