38-39k

People don’t want to watch the shit Port are currently dishing up. Simple as that

Watch Port kick another 9-10 goals and have 16 goal keepers can you blame people for not going? Although I’ll be there I can see why people wouldn’t go.

He is partly right, imagine losing tomorrow night and then the Suns beat the Cats.

That would be funny

I do find it ironic that 6 weeks ago when Port were winning but not setting the world on fire that Ken comes out with the “We’re building up coming in to the end of the season” to the media. Since saying that it has been a friggen disaster. He just needs to stop the talk and just ******* do it.

Port are good enough talent wise to be a top4 side but they have had the same issue for 3 years, that is simple consistency. 2015 injuries for them were absolutely shithouse so that’s not fair to blame the same issue imo. It’s no good being a destination club with long term security if you are pissing all over the club and what it stood for every 3-4 weeks. I don’t like Port Adelaide but I respect what they had done for a very long time.

Hey watch it mate, you stepping in on UK fans ground here.

Going to be a troll fight soon. Although it might well be hard to fight yourself.

33k tonight
My wife is working tonight so have a spare tix and I have rang/txt all my Port friends and I can’t pay someone to come with me. They have all jumped off and said their not going all the way from Yorkes “ 2 hour dive each way” to watch that Garbage. I have a feeling their will be a lot like that tonight.

With Port's crowds dropping and there not being a final in Adelaide this year, is the SMA's dividend tot he clubs going to be reduced this year? This would have too be a concern - hence constant increase in pricing of food/beer at the oval.

Wasnt the only one saying it, quite a few of his illustrious disciples on here were also saying it, Ruben Carter and Booney spring to mind.
Where is Ruben, gone very quiet lately, gone on unexpected early September holidays?

Maybe they just don't like you? ;)

On the same token, we have 3 tickets to go but I can't be bothered as the wife will want to drink CC's so my rounds will cost near $30 when I can get a litre bottle for $48 and watch it at home, that way I can turn it off when we start getting pummeled.

High 30's, I know a few that are going, plus there's those that say throughout the year "We've gotta catch up for a game this season", well this is the last chance for that to occur.

At the end of the day, Port aren't officially dead yet this season, there is a very faint pulse that wont be put to rest until around 4:30pm tomorrow.

You honestly think they will get a top 10 pick for Polec?
I don't think Port will get a single pick in the top 10
