Could time it right, so the Power Fans can go to both.

Why should we cater for them?
We are the Premiers, should be looking after our fans first and foremost

So you'd rather have say 6k at a 3pm game at your club's home ground than say 10k at a 2pm game for the sake of looking after your own? I hope you're not on the NFC board.

Yep, sick of being dictated to by the AFL and the two Reserve sides. Its bad enough our season was shortened and the GF moved dates. Its about time the SANFL stopped bowing down to them and make their own decisions. Play the game at the regular timeslot. As for the crowd, It wouldnt bother me if Crows or Port fans never attended SANFL games, personally I dont want them there

And if I was on the board of the NFC these two Cancers wouldnt even be in the comp and we wouldnt be having this argument

This may be true. Although if you were on the board you'd also need to spend time with Centurion in a cafe on the Parade talking about club finances.

LOL West and Centrals ovals have hosted NAB games before, but just this one (and a Port game at that), is a kickback? :lol:

Good point - forgot about the Elizabeth game! Not sure we got the ground improvements Westies got last year, and I assume the Legs will this year. Having said that though, glad we've still got our old fashioned, "good enough for the SANFL" goal posts! :lol:

100% correct, the biggest thing stopping me from attending more SANFL games is when they are on a Saturday arvo it clashes with local footy.

2015 anzac day being 100years since the galipoli landing it certainly should be respected. Unfortuately the AFL has hijacked the day for their own benifit . I feel they will affect other organizations from being able to commemorate the day .
I think Friday night at the parade would be the best option for SANFL to get the best benifit. i will be in USA watching my daughter dance in Disneyland.hopefully i can get to watch it on the net or at least listen on internet radio when ever it is

It should be easy for the SANFL to do this. A 2:30pm game at The Parade, finishes around 5, leaves plenty of time for the Port supporters to get to AO. If they do schedule the game at The Parade, Port would be wise to put on a few buses to transport their supporters to the city.

Or even a taxi ;)

Why at the Parade? Why not play it at Alberton?

Norwood will obviously get a kick back from this, bar and food or gate takings, otherwise Norwood wouldve said no.

Maybe Norwood will happy to play a curtain raiser at AO on Anzac Day ?
