Port 2014 - Pre-Season/General Discussion

[The Sleeping Giant]

Any truth in this rumour I heard today;

A port player was allegedly out on the town, allegedly got into a blue and sufferered a possible broken jaw.
Allegedly assault charges have been laid against said player for his part in the fight also.
Allegedly tried to hide this from the club who of course found out.
Now the club are in damage control and trying to keep this out of the media.
I do know who the player allegedly is and I'm pretty sure he has had off field issues previously.

If true.....HILARIOUS

Too bad they don't turn up and watch their team play.

Members and Season ticket holders are two different things. I would guess many clubs have more members than actual game day average attendances.

Yes,
Hawthorn will have 70,000 members this year but will only average 40,000-50,000 in attendence. Many people join as members but cant/dont get to games

Doesn't every club offer 3 game memberships. As long as the club is getting money does it matter?

Crows fans are the worse for this.

Just listen to any crows fan that's trying to bag port, it's always their first go to point.

I must say Port have done very well with their membership drive for this season. 37K+ members at the moment and should break the 40K+ mark for the first time in the club's history. Whoever is running the membership side of thing at Alberton is doing a very good job

Any idea if Adelaide Oval Footy members count the same way as SANFL members used to top up figures.
Genuine question as me and my kids might now be counted as Port members! Lol

Nah Kickinit it's the second thing they bang on about after back to back

[valleys07]

Its the 3rd thing after they bang on about 119.

Yes, but that's just stating a simple and basic fact as a starting point.

[Squids]

Fact is crows crowds are on a massive decline

[Psyber]

Yes. I for one am losing interest in the "AFL" as it keeps mucking up real football (SANFL).
2014 may trigger even greater declines.

[the joker]

crowds were on decline at aami as people were waiting for Adelaide Oval. Crowds will be up 10 to 15 thousand this year
