Crows = No longer team for all South Australian's

[Ford Fairlane]

It's only a bit of marketing sleight of hand. They don't claim all South Australians barrack for them, but that they can because they're not affiliated to a single SANFL club (eg Port Adelaide) or any of those evil interstate clubs.

 

[Tyson20]

One game is enough to disprove, or at least cast significant doubt, on the Cows claim.

and 11 is enough to prove, or at least strengthen, the claim...

Average Home Match Attendances 2004

11 Home Matches each

Adelaide - 39,878 (12th)

PAPS - 29,877 (1st)

now we all know Adelaide have a bigger supporter base, so why this argument gets dragged up is tiresome.

Its a slogan, its catchy, its controverisal!

We claim to be "The Team For All South Australians," Port Power claim to have tradition prior to 1997...no real biggy! They're just "claims" after all...

You barrack for PAFC in the SANFL? PAFC doesn't have a team in the SANFL. Maybe you mean you used to barrack for the PAFC in the SANFL.

Anyway, why don't you follow the Power?

So now you are claiming that on average 29,877 Cows supporters attend each Power home game
Take a look at that big hole you have just blasted in your foot

Its a slogan, its catchy, its controverisal!

and Cows' supporters claim Power supporters are arrogant.

We claim to be "The Team For All South Australians," Port Power claim to have tradition prior to 1997...no real biggy! They're just "claims" after all...

No, the PAFC correctly claims to have a tradition prior to entering the Power in the AFL in 1997.

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

Wharfie, your stupid and childish comments are very tiring.
Its a slogan, get over it! None of your fellow Power supporters have an issue with this so why do you continue on with these stupid and time wasting comments.
Shouldnt you be at school anyway?

 

[MrMeaner]

I much prefer "The pride of South Australia..."

I didn't realise that the state was in that much trouble.

 

[Port1978]

wow one game well done mate did you look that up all by yourself ???

maybe we should change to slogan to " The team for all south australians who dont support Port Power or one of the other interstate teams or who just follow local footy"

You missed out non-South Australians who support the Crows.......but hey, they're already not included by the Crows anyway....

 

[Jars458]

Cliche

cliche

 

[Ford Fairlane]

cliche

Have a nice day.

 

[Cap]

ok

The Team For all South Australians and Non South Australian Crow Supporters (including interstate and international and if possible universally) but doesnt include Port Power (or whatever you name is ), People who support interstate sides or people who only follow local football on any level.

Or maybe;

Adelaide Crows - 700,000 people cant be wrong but they could be stupid.

Nah, just doesnt have the same ring to it but thanks anyway for the thought!

 

[Tyson20]

You barrack for PAFC in the SANFL? PAFC doesn't have a team in the SANFL. Maybe you mean you used to barrack for the PAFC in the SANFL.

To you the PAFC doesnt exist in the SANFL, but to me they do!

I supported, and have been a member of, the AFC from the very birth of the club, im not one for jumping ship as soon as another team comes along. In my eyes, the Power were born for the purpose of the AFL, and the PAFC continue on in the SANFL, as normal. Ive been a diehard Maggies supporter since i could walk and they will always be the PAFC in my eyes, and the Power are their offspring...with more money

its purely how i see it, no one will ever be able to tell me otherwise (trust me, mates have tried ), and whilst i dont have the same hatred for the Power that many a Crows supporter does, i certainly do not support them in any way, never have, never will! I'd feel dirty...

I see.

You poor b@stard.

You may find this useful.

Nah beyond help...have said that for years!

And i apologise, i didnt think people having different views on things was considered "mental"

I shouldn't have expected anything less really...

They do now. The Magpies have gone back to the name that has been on my scarfe for over 30 years; The Port Adelaide Football Club SANFL

Its a slogan, get over it! None of your fellow Power supporters have an issue with this.......

The confusion continues.

 

[PAfolwr]

If the two clubs could be joined, then there would be no confusion.
Then we could develop youngsters even better.

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

Haha Fruit tingle man...I'll give ya that one!

The owner of your AFL licence won't let that happen. That is the SANFL clubs.

 

[Steve Dore]

Thanks mate. Don't take it all so serious

 

[PAfolwr]

The owner of your AFL licence won't let that happen. That is the SANFL clubs.

Yeah yeah.
I've heard all the arguments for and the ones against.
I'm a for man, and nothing gonna change that.

If people put their mind to it, it could happen. However, the SANFL being the SANFL will take 10-20 years to decide anything anyway, just like it did with the VFL/AFL entry bid.

 

[Steve Dore]

That's correct Jars458. After all it was the SANFL, which as you say is its member clubs, that forced the split in the first place.

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

Thanks mate. Don't take it all so serious

No chance of that mate!
