Game Day What's happening at Alberton Saturday and no White Marquee Bar Sunday

[RussellEbertHandball]

Alberton Proud asked about what's happening Saturday at Alberton for those not travelling so I wrote to Port Club General Manager Dave Banner about that and on Sunday at the White Marquee Bar and got the following reply.

In regards to the WMB, we planned to open it from 11am-3pm but due to a TennisSA tournament we can't access the facility so we will be pushing for Alberton to be the home of our fans Sunday.

The Port Club PF we will be putting on a show but due to the City to Bay we can only secure a 10sq metre screen so have opted not to run the live site. We did try and put something together for the Fos Williams Stand due to the Quinn Stand being out of bounds for the scaffolding set up but to no avail.

Also the fact we had 3000ppl go to Subiaco and this week we will have over 15000ppl going to the game the The Port Club should be sufficient to cater for the members with Sports Bar, Bistro and Function facilities.

So pretty much -
Friday
9.30am - PAFC AFL open training - Alberton Oval
5.30pm - PAFC SANFL open training 'Captains Run' - Alberton Oval

Saturday

Man that sucks I was hoping to get to Alberton and watch it on the big screen in the Quinn Stand. I couldn't make it to Alberton last saturday to watch the game because I had a family birthday and watched it there instead. The footage from last saturday night at Alberton looked like a great night, its a pity they aren't doing it again this week.

 

[Alberton Proud]

Your a champ REH - much appreciated

Pity about the Big Screen and WMB, but two big wins will easily make up for that !

So why is the club encouraging supporters to spend Sunday at Alberton instead of actually going to the game?

To help create the illusion that with Norwood supporters outnumbering Port's at the GF, a big thumbs up is given by Norwood fans to confirm that they love seeing AFL reserves in the SANFL

Edit: Honestly if the Norwood supporters want to show their displeasure over the compromised SANFL competition, this is the one game they should be boycotting.

Bugger. Alberton Proud and I have a 9 year old who was really looking forward to a big screen experience with us.

 

[charcolechaddy]

They should can the city to bay then!

Why the fk do they need a big screen?

Yes I wondered why people need to look at themselves sweating. I assume its for the spectators at the end waiting to see their Johnny and/or Sarah on the screen.

 

[ozph1870]

woah $12 for scrambled egg & bacon......

ill be there.

 

[The Smaller Warrior]

Was looking forward to the club Saturday also. Sucks

yeah get to the game.....

[John the Butcher]

I was quite looking forward to going, damm.
What about 12 30" tv's sticky-taped together?

 

[Portwon]

Bummer. Had fun last Saturday and cant get to the prelim so was looking forward to taking the kids down again and having a kick on the oval between quarters. I am sure that's what won us the game...... (sorry that was a different thread re superstitions wasn't it).

Think I had convinced my 10 year old nephew to jump on board from the other side as he was getting into the cheers etc and was going to use this week to seal the deal. Was such a good atmosphere .

Still go. The atmosphere upstairs was sensational and as good as outside. Just small screens and nowhere for kids to run around.

 

[Magpiespower]

Nuts! Still reckon I'll head to the club. Just for the atmosphere...

 

[Portwon]

Thanks REH yeah the Port clubs always a good atmosphere.

Kids were raving about last week though and went down with a couple of other guys with kids who couldn't make the prelim either.

Did the big footy trip with the boys for the Collingwood game so couldn't get the prelim past the wife but the Grannie will be worth the divorce (if I can get a ticket).

 

[PipesHartlett]

Will be heading to the club again on Sat. The atmosphere in the function room was amazing last week. Did have a mean steak sanga too.

 

[Jabsy]

So big city Adelaide has only one big screen?

Should just drape a circus tent sized sheet off of the gym/admin centre and shoot it up with a cinema projector. Rent 5000 beanbags for the oval.

Their should be some thought for people with kids.

Maybe the 10 mtr screen in the gym for family's would have worked with the function centre .

Is it kid friendly ?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Is it kid friendly ?

Up stairs is kid friendly but it wasnt as good as on the oval for them. On the oval the could run around. Also sitting on the grass if mum and dad didnt bring a chair is easier than the floor as they would get in the way because it will be packed. There wasnt enough chairs for every one to sit on upstairs. It was half sitting half standing.

So get in early , thanks REH!

I think the oval would have been more fun for kids, but I think it really depends on their ages. A kid who really likes footy would probably like it. If you get there early to snag a table or chair it would be better I think than your kid having to stand. In terms of kid friendly behaviour, I didn't see anything I was concerned with or wouldn't want my kids around. The bar was quite busy the whole game, but everyone was really well behaved - even when we were losing
