Your recent posts are hilarious . What a shocking display by Port . It whinges about money and take handouts but do nothing to assist. If you whinge your club gets its way. Oh and those coaches boxes ? They are good for spectators. Who designed them ? What a tin pot Franchise . What happened to Port supporters supporting their team? See your few hundred supporters at Unley next hey. Oh , you will get a beer in the ground which supports the club.
Young liberal was the best though lol
Yeah, lol hey.
Wow Brett you torched him bad there.
Shit Boon, what are you going to put on that burn?
Mighty Hounds tears are trickling down from above.

Ran into a member today he reckons biggest crowd he’s seen for absolute years, and the lineups were so long outside they ended up just opening the gates and letting people in.. he was very confident it was more than the 5k reported.
Yep lines were ridiculous. Entered through the Port Club because the lines outside were massive. Food lines, Bar lines all very long. Luckily got a couple beers in early because I couldn’t be arsed waiting in line up once the game started due to the length of them. Definitely the biggest Port Sturt crowd I’ve seen at Alberton since the AFL reserves.
Ironic that just a few weeks ago, Matthew Richardson, the executive general manager of Port Adelaide, was boasting that at no other point in their 100 off year history have so many people been supporting Port. Yet they can't even cope with a crowd of around 5,300 at their home ground!!? In the same article he actually says, "We take a bigger picture view and look at our community as a whole. The facts are clear. Across the last 5 years Port Adelaide has had more supporters attending our games than at any other time in our club's history." WOW! Amazing that this faith in the massive turn out, unheralded previously in Port's history, hasn't adequately suggested to them that they might need more than a handful of volunteers to deal with these minions who have emerged from said "community". Truth be told, even the fact that the Power wasn't even playing this week after playing in China last week, wasn't enough to alert the peanuts trust at Alberton that under such circumstances, perhaps just a few thousand might perhaps turn up to support the TRUE arm of the Port club, namely the one that actually carried the banner for them throughout 80% of their 149 year history. However, truth be told, the peanuts trust at Alberton could not give a shit about the Magpies, hence they were so vastly under prepared for crowds Sturt easily caters for, despite them, conversely, attracting the smallest crowds of their 100+ year history. Don't know why you Port blokes put up with the crap your club feeds you. Honestly!
I don't know how you post **** all about your club but rattle off 500 worders about ours.
Blatant hypocrisy gets me going. No matter the club. It seems not to bother you too much, which was the theme of my last question. How do you put up with the obvious BS regarding Port's crappy crowds? Wouldn't a little concern be welcome, rather than some fiction about massive crowds that don't exist and couldn't possibly be catered for if they ever did turn up?
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail

From memory Richardson quoted something like 44,000 every other week going to games across the two competitions and one of you, may have been your infatuated self, came back saying it was more like 42,000 or thereabouts. I can tell you there isn't 2000 people losing sleep over that difference like you are.
Did you pop down Saturday? Was an excellent day out in the sunshine.

The figures would sound a whole lot better if he was responding to a question about Power crowds, however, the reporter asked him why Magpies crowds have dropped off so dramatically of late. He responded by crapping on about Power crowds. In other words, and as proven by reports on yesterday's abysmal catering attempt, Port just don't care about the Magpies anymore. No, I didn't get to the game, had family stuff on. Wish I had though, it's good watching SANFL with a big crowd in attendance.

It's obvious why Port's SANFL crowds have dropped off, must be a card carrying **** stick to have to ask why.
So, why didn't the silly sod just answer the question then? Maybe against protocol to admit that the Magpies have suffered through the merger?

Of course the Magpies are thriving, just look at the Power's crowds. Please Booney. I expected better,

Obviously, Port don't like talking about the Magpies crowds.

And your priority is the only thing your club is capable of discussing, even to the point of it interfering with a completely different question? Tinfoil hats, eh?

Shame it'll be short lived.
Nothing like a feisty debate about running out of pies at half time to rekindle the passion.
There's only 2 certainties in 2019: Bays will win the flag and they'll run out of pies at half time at Alberton. I'll settle for that!
