'The Pride of South Australia' is substantially more broad than 'We are Port Adelaide'. Might be wise of Pt. Adelaide to open their marketing slogans.
This is what I thought. We could give up our South Australian focus and that might give us a little extra appeal to interstate people but would that let Port in on the general SA market easier?
Port have gone from things like Power Revolution or whatever to We Are Port Adelaide so I'm confused as to whats working for them? I guess we could announce our 25th year with Toyota as our only major sponsor at the MCG but whats that really going to change if the only people who are really paying any attention are in SA.
I bet if you asked Port if they would rather 50% of SA than what they currently have plus what they think they can gain nationally they would take SA.
I guess clubs like Collingwood and Essendon have better support nationally because people followed them and their competition before other states had a team. I am sure a huge majority of people really supporting Port and Adelaide interstate would be ex-SA people anyway.
I know many supporters in SA who go for one of the traditional Victorian teams but no one who goes for say Brisbane, or Fremantle and it's probably the same for us in other states. When a team wins a premiership you get some extra support but even then I don't know if it lasts if those people didn't have a team in the first place and weren't following the game will they really be there in the down times? I used to see a few West Coast supporters around back in 2006/7.
I still think our major focus should be strengthening what we have at home first, late 90s/early 2000s numbers in 2014 $$$ will get us a long way.
