Surely for those of you who have followed Port all our lives and hate Norwood with a passion, it must've felt a bit un-Port like?
I've got no problem with the trial games being played at suburban grounds, in fact I'm all for it and hope it continues. I only live 10 minutes from The Parade but couldn't make the game unfortunately.
Fair enough, like I said I'm not anti-Port, just thought it was interesting that the PAFC were hosting a game at Norwood Oval when I assumed fans would've preferred to see it at Alberton, that's all.
The only reason I'd prefer it to be at Alberton is for the amount of money that would be spent at the ground on food/drink, merchandise, raffles and pokies going directly into our club instead of an SANFL club or the SMA. I'm sure supporters of the clubs that played their trials at Basheer reserve would have preferred to be at their home ground for the same reason but I'm guessing cricket was the main barrier to that happening. Still, I'm happy to venture to The Parade, Richmond, etc for the novelty/change of scenery factor.
