Let's talk Ports! Part 3

[1954]

I don't believe any member of the Chappell family were actual Port supporters, but I have a recollection of Ian commenting way back in the late 70's or early 80's that if he had to choose a football club to play for his life it would be Port Adelaide.

Please don't make a boob of yourself over this Kochie.

Just send them a guernsey and an AFL subscription and welcome them aboard.

Haha.

Reminds me of that jamoke who took two existing Port Adelaide devices, mashed them up, and demanded compensation for ‘plagiarism’.

Sue them into oblivion I reckon.

Just googled them and this is their logo.

So that's where the idea of silver came from - we stole it from a tradie in Canada!

What happen Top Gear Sent from mTalk Matt Le Blanc just isn't upto it. Not spontaneous enough and a bit too serious. Mind you he isnt as stupid as the original 3.

Martin Chappell was a big Westies fan and ingrained his boys to be west fans. Ian had a soft spot for Sturt, his grandpa - Vic Richardson - played for. He helped launch a book about Vic and Sturt a decade ago.

Ian said he hated Port, after going to watch all those GFs Westies lost to Port usually by less than a goal in the 1950s and one in the 60's.

Well they wouldn’t have two banking sponsors that I know.

Maybe offered more $$$

They underrated the Round 1 game, we destroyed a top 4 Brisbane side.

Didn't watch to the end. Any of those September wins make the cut?

 

[TazD]

They should make Hinkley and Cornes rate the loses

Wanga was playing in the Don's league team in 1991 - aged just 17.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Jason Dullard, that's an unfortunate surname.

 

[Arsene Wenger]

May be well out of the loop and a really dumb question, but i went to get tickets for Gather round v Bombers and it is saying no tickets left. Surely this genuinely wont be sold out...?

 

[Rising Power]

That was my first thought too.

Edit: Just had a google, drafted aged 15 by Essendon in 1989, then drafted by Melbourne in 1991. 0 games.

Why not??

Its a Friday night game, 40,000 to 50,000 people are travelling to Adelaide for the week, so given there will only be about 9,000 at the Brisbane v North game at the Parade then maybe 5,000 Essendon and 10,000 neutrals and 38,000 Port fans rock up. It was a cheap buy for club members from all 18 clubs.

Remember that last year on the Friday night, 9,300 rocked up to the Parade to watch Freo v GC game at 4pmish on the Parade, and 42,100 rocked up at 7pmish at Adelaide Oval to watch Sydney v Richmond.

The crowd between the two teams was bigger than the two teams have ever drawn at the SCG or the Olympic Stadium and outside of finals, only a handfull of games between the 2 sides have drawn more people in Melbourne.

yeh fair point mate. I hope you are right. I bought some random tickets in the "Collective 18+" area in the Riverbank.

‘Jim Hird’ too. Who, freshly-retired, was brought in by Choco before a certain game to address the players.
