i've received this letter from port (afl) it says

WE NEED YOU BACK
we know you support our great club. but now is the time to be more than just a supporter


& it goes on & on plus all the deals

my point is just because i'm an sanfl member what right does it give port (or the crows for that matter) the right to assume i barrack for them, i go because i like watching footy albeit with afl tactics i got boored last year & this year is their last chance to keep me interested, infact if little bayman wants to see gibbsy play this year otherwise i would not of got a ticket this year


I HATE THE MONGRELS & WILL NEVER EVER BARRACK FOR THEM

i just asked little bayman & he said he would never play for them

as for me i'd see a lawyer as we all know it is restraint of trade & one day someone will take them to court & it could well be me (if he was good enough) although little bayman is a lot better cricketer than footballer

Does being an SANFL member get you in to every SANFL game as well?

4 SANFL games only. It used to get you into every Footy Park SANFL match.

Agree that based on that inforamtion the number of Crows and Power members are over-inflated as I know of people who aren't on this site and are memebrs of Footy Pk but support Melbourne based clubs.

However of 20000 SANFL members I'd bet the breakdown would be 50% crows supporters, 40% power 10% others. For the sake of this arguement I'll say 20% SANFL members are in the "other" category - 4000 in total. So if you take 2500 thousand off the Crows membership (tops) (TV polls show Crows are more popular than the Power 2:1 - well Crows supporters are 2:1 more passionate that Power supporters to demand their game is showed in its entirety before the show a Power game interstate is broadcast on delay :lol: :lol: :lol:) that still gives us 47 500 members, still the best in Australia.

Closer to field granted but not big time!!!! Still out there in front members wise.

Do you think 4000 SANFL members (20%) support teams other than Adelaide and Port Power?

My guess at least 20% wouldn't support either team, and possibly no AFL team at all...
