Hello, North are up and about. ;)

Now they just have to get those fans to turn up [emoji3]
When they need 29k at Etihad to break even and only get 15k it leaves a big hole in their budget

Not true. Now that the AFL own Etihad there are no more contracts screwing over all the tenants bar Essendon.

My understanding is that the current deals are in place until the end of the season and that we are in negotiations now with the AFL. As the biggest tenants we have asked for a better deal than the others or will move to the MCG as they have offered up a pretty decent package. I think we need to move anyway as Etihad hinders our membership growth

Even more reason why the AFL should look at smaller boutique stadiums in the 'burbs to return footy too.

I agree with this so much, I miss the dirty ole games at Moorabin and Windy Hill etc.

Spend some money on Princes Park.
Great location, good surface and only needs a bit of work on facilities

After our season in 2016 it looked like this was going to be one of the biggest issues for us in 2017. Now we're 4-2 with GWS and Adelaide behind us there's much bigger things to worry about.


like making a profit and reducing debt? ;)


Have a wild guess what the reason for going into China is?

And with a capacity of about 25,000 North could play there and everyone would have plenty of seating options.

Not to mention the short walk across Royal Pde and Flemington rd back to Arden St. Be a virtual home game for them

Which staff member was in charge of the contract which paid GCS half a million but forgot about the jumper? Are they still with the club?

Your appetite for anything negative about Port Adelaide is truly insatiable. :lol:

I thought when you stopped following the Bays a couple of years ago you might have let go of all the heart ache. Life's too short mate. Let it go. Ease the burden. :D

You're a smart man, you know they wouldn't be, so what's with the stupid ******* questions?

Every question you pose in the Port Adelaide thread is a loaded one that serves no purpose.

Brad Ebert and his wife are now parents to a son, Leo.

Great that he was born mid-week, and additionally, looking forward to this father/son selection in 18 years time.
