Sure. Just hand your license back.

That's why it has more than a tinge of sadness associated with it.
It's not a cock measuring exercise, but you won't find any family more Port Adelaide than mine. From my two grand fathers working on ketches out of the Port, my old man being a wharfie, to me now living in Alberton, we are, in every sense, Port Adelaide.....but there's an undeniable fact that the day the Magpies became the home of the Port Adelaide AFL listed players was a sad day. I cried. Not too proud to admit it either, that day at Glenelg Oval, of all ******* places. My old t-shirt "We exist to win premierships" is not true, not any more.
It is, however, the by product of being able to go to AO with 50,000 other people and support our club on the national stage. It's the by product of me being there with my 8 year old son and 60 year old mother in 2004 to see the PAFC win the biggest prize in Australian domestic sport. Those toothless battlers from the Port, beating the best of the best on the national stage. Unbelievable. To be there in 2007 when it was "history in the making". Equally as unbelievable.
It humors me when people on here say "Port have had their cake and eat it too"..."They want it both ways"........ pretty sure they're over looking the fact that the cockle diver within me, and many people like me, died a little in 2013, wouldn't have cried if it didn't. Not sure that I've got it "both ways".*

Would be nice to see the Bays win a flag in a few years - albeit after they've had several consecutive seasons of relegation and end up in Div 6...

Why would they bother in SA we fixed it for them.
The next 10 years will be all about spending up for the AFLW and expansion thereafter.

I look forward to the hundreds of pages of posts relating to Adelaide living rent free at West Lakes for nearly 30 years.[/quo
It might have made some sense when the sanfl held the license, I can't understand why they'd absorb any costs now.

I've always thought that 'club' is an odd word to describe a pretty artificial franchise that was only incorporated in 1996, but I'm glad it's working out for you.
You follow the Woodville West Torrens Pecker Warrior Eagles, don't you, RB?
