Roast Who else won’t renew their membership next year?

[JakeNeadeFan]

Cancel your membership.
Don't attend games.
Don't watch games.
Don't engage in social media.
Don't engage with sponsors.

Force the club to change or force the club to die. I would rather the club be dead than what it currently is.

 

[gbear]

You are a fool if you pay money to this shit stain of an organization after today's calamity!

 

[Portology]

I've asked them to turn off the auto-renewal and told them in no uncertain terms why. Sad times when it has come to this.

I will say they did turn off auto-renewal with barely a couple of day's notice from me, and I got email acknowledgment of the criticisms I sent in. So that much at least was done professionally. Now after today's trade debacle I'll just sit and stew for another month or so before deciding whether to continue to fund this effing regime.

 

[Schulzenfest]

I already wasn't going to, but on the back of today's news is there some way of un-renewing my membership so hard that it somehow takes away someone else's membership?

On top of another year of finals failure.

Hinkley, Koch, Richardson, Davies, Cripps and Cornes are still at the club.

WHO is giving money to this club in 2025?

 

[melanChronic]

The AGM should just be lining up every member of the board and upper administration on the wharf and letting members kick footballs at them until they fall into the Port river.

Id re-sign for the first time since 2021 for that.

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Going on 6 years without a membership

 

[OnTheWagon]

Despite the poorly chosen username,my turning point was the dogs prelim.

No way I'm coming back until Hinkley is gone. Why watch the same movie over and over. I just want to see something different

No guarantees I'm coming back if they just replace him with Carr.

 

[Hammer#8]

This forum remains my last association I have with the club in any form.

My grandpa was a migrant who came to Oz with limited English, worked tough jobs in factories. His one opportunity to fit in and assimilate was talking footy, and his workmates got him into Port, and his passion grew. Port has been special to me cause it's like family.

This year its completely evaporated where I'm not sure I'll come back. The opposite of love of isn't hate, it's indifference, and I'm there.

As the OP said, won't come back or renew interest until the coach, ceo and chairman are gone.

 

[PowerLil]

Just noticed there's upgrade to platinum available. There was a wait list this season. That changed quickly.

 

[gbear]

Even the happy clappers are starting to drop off. The club will be in for some real trouble if there is not significant change soon. Many rusted-on supporters who stood by in the tap era have had enough of being ignored and don't intend to come back.

 

[GoPorts]

Those guaranteed grand final tickets haven't really shown their value

 

[Dazalinko1988]

Yea I'm out its just fake now, the mediocrity, the fraud they call ken, the cringy NTUA song when we are in fact in pieces as a club, the potato trades, the finals embarrassments, the pen pushing spineless prawn Koch, the prison bars saga that most times we embarass the history of while wearing it
this isn't port adelaide any more it's to be honest an embarrassment and disappointment to those who made this club great a long time ago it's pathetic day by day week by week year by year the passion is fading away nothing ever changes

 

[Duck Farmer]

Lots of people downgrading their platinums to gilded turd.

 

[Capital Power]

It's a trade week special. Swap your Platinum membership for three standing room spots behind the grandstand. Apparently everyone's doing it...

 

[Jonts]

Cancelled my seat yesterday

Was quite a smooth process

 

[Grave Danger]

Been out for the past two seasons - see no reason to rejoin on the horizon.

 

[TeeKray]

Cancelled my seat yesterday

Was quite a smooth process

Everyone thinks that until their credit card gets charged

 

[FrankDrebin]

Cancelled my seat yesterday

Same. I'm sure like a crack fiend I'll realise i cant live without it and rejoin before round 1.

 

[Hardcore]

HAHAHA this thread looks like a therapy season for the disgruntled

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

We can't rebuild because fans won't stand by the club.

But we can:

• Destroy the ethos of their club
• Gaslight supporters
• Deploy media minions to gaslight supporters
• Outright insult supporters
• Take their money after being told not to

 

[finbarr]

Shady business practice is one way to describe it.

Credit card fraud is another.

Great job Port.

Seriously, how low can this club go? Credit card fraud, the signing of Rory Atkins....

 

[JimmyBC]

Re-tooling on the run would certainly describe the Rory Atkins acquisition.

 

[davo999]

Can all those that have checked out please go and hide under a rock rather than continually s*-t posting all the time .
For rusted on supporters like myself , I’d so much rather talk/listen about strategy , players etc .
If you really think you’re going to force the club to change by white anting I think all it does is get a disconnect between players and fans .
I always remember reading player profiles back in the day , when the question was what did the player dislike , nearly all would say “ fickle supporters “ . I would say that’s still relevant.
So in short if you don’t want to be a member , don’t but do you have to go on and on about it .
If you’re out . Just Go

Well said.

Come on mate, lets talk strategy. What tricks do you think Kent Hinkley has up his sleeve for 2025?
