Port Adelaide 2019

[MW]

AFL have broken attendance records again...they are not going to change it.

They are always looking for that 1% more though so they wont rest on their laurels either.

Richmond, Collingwood and Essendon all finishing top 8 has helped those figures I’d imagine.

keep missing finals and they won't afford to stay in the comp

Yes they can, they just need their fans to turn up 40 000 at a time as Rooch and George said.

No I'm not quoting anyone by saying 40 000 is the break even crowd figure but if they get 40 000 to each game (2/3 members rock up to each home game) their future is assured.

The future of Port Adelaide is in the hands of their fans.

40000 to each game would equate to around 75% attendance rate. Would struggle to find any club getting those figures per membership numbers, Crows maybe.

I get that and I'm genuinely not trying to have a dig at PAFC but it was basically a call to arms from George, in particular. If you want this club to be successful and viable we need you our members and supporters (casual rock ups who aren't members) to attend our home games no matter what.

The reality is compared to the clubs with the bigger market share of supporters in each state and across the country clubs like Port, Freo, Saints, Bulldogs, North and Melb need bums on seats more so than the clubs like Richmond, Collingwood, Essendon Crows and West Coast. Not saying they don't need bums on seats or you don't have a place in the commercial market place but the "smaller" clubs need fans to rock up far more than the "bigger" clubs

Without knowing you LMA I'll make the assumption that you like Boon attend regularly to Port games. You need more like you two to be committed to the cause to ensure off field viability and onfield success.

They've got my money whether I go along or not, I direct debit my two Platinum tickets across the year with monthly installments. How me going or not equates to break even is a mystery to me.

If I go and (lol) don't have a beer or buy any food it's no different to me not going. The SMA take the food/drink monies so it's not just people going along it's people buying 11 game home match season tickets that count more than memberships. Two different things. I can be a member of the PAFC and not have an 11 game home match ticket.

I heard it mentioned somewhere that the SMA catering kick back to the clubs is based on attendance and not sales. The figure is set at $2.70 per person through the gate so the difference between a 40k crowd and 30k crowd is $27k per home game

Love the grenade Port have thrown over Port road to West Lakes by declaring Kenny the coach for 2020.

and this is why Port will never be successful in the AFL if the first thought about assuring the coaches future is relating it somehow to the Crows

They haven''t backed their coach in all year but obviously have made a decision (whether it is the right one is another question) and have come out strongly straight away and taken away any speculation and heat away from Alberton. Got to give them credit for that.

Moving away from coaches.. on Sunday watching the game the commentators kept talking about DBJ being in AA squad contention - I have to be honest, that suprised me, was the first time i'd even heard it mentioned or considered.

Was DBJ's season really that good?

If you listened to the commentators the AA squad would be around 120.

I don't think he was ever seriously in AA contention, he will be top 5 in the PAFC BnF though I think .

Anyone hear KT on triple M?
He was asked about players not being paid and whether it was to do with the salary cap or not.
He couldn’t give a straight answer and went round and round in circles.

That’s ok because he didn’t say “mate”

I can only assume that it's to minimize the damage to the bottom line this year with a forecast of better returns next year.

Yeah I assume also but not sure why he couldn’t just say that.
He made no sense what so ever.

Have a listen too it.
He normally speaks well but he was making no sense.

So it's a fact that KT not saying "mate" failed the SA Footy test?

Fact?

So using that maths Port stands to get an extra ~ $300 000 (11 home games at $27 000) or roughly ~ 2.5% of the 2019 Salary cap

May be handy to their bottom line.
