I've come back from a holiday in Europe where I did some stadium tours of large soccer clubs like Manchester United, Barcelona, Liverpool and Real Madrid, and all have brilliant museums of each club's history.
Within the museums they have pictures and information of historic events, detailed articles on former star players, trophy cabinets, televisions with highlights of big games etc. With Port Adelaide expected to make a profit in 2015 and beyond, I thought a good idea for the club would be to invest in creating a museum which captures Port Adelaide's rich 145 year history.
Obviously the museum wouldn't quite reach the levels of those of the big soccer clubs', but I think couple of rooms full of Port Adelaide history with the trophies on display as well as historic events in the club's history and features on star players would be fantastic addition to Alberton. Although there are already trophies and other features in the Port Club, I think we could do so much better and really show off the history of this great club.
The obvious question is where at Alberton would the museum be located and what the cost of developing it would be. I don't have the answers to that and I know this is a bit of a pipe dream, I just thought it would be a good idea for the club to look at some time in the future.
I'll leave some pictures of the various soccer club museums below.
Cheers
