Leaving at 3/4 time means they're not running down the function room used for post-match functions... so yeah Adelaide are performing badly to preserve the post-match facilities. Duh.

I think the Crows cleaning bill is cheaper because the cleaners can start earlier

Other clubs have a home ground, we are no different.

Oohhhh wait, the crows don't have one.

Let's all laugh at the test tube club.

But if they don't have a home, where are they going to put their wooden spoon at the end of the season?

SteppingTiger · May 21, 2014

So in what way are we 'running down Adelaide Oval'? What is supposedly happening to devalue or damage the ground, facilities, reputation etc of Adelaide Oval?

He, like all **** o' the North supporters have deep psychological scars emanating from the 1989 Grand Final.

Their banner said something like "we only have one goal in mind" and I distinctly remember Timmy Ginever saying that North "blew a gasket" in reference to the much vaunted "engine room" Nunan used to go on about: today referred to as the "midfield".

The best though was when the channel nine news with a beaming Kevin Crease (as I remember), crossed to Prospect Oval on grand final night and there were not even a handful of people there ........ and people wonder why Partland despises Port.

My greatest memory of that game was the TV commentator saying "Over to (insert player, cant remember), North's leading goal kicker today"

Silly enough to get sucked into listening to Crowie - well, Kern says "you get what................."

Yep same.

Rather finish close this year and smash them next year.

Or finish just behind and have the AFL audit put us in front

Would you rather win the membership battle with the West Lakes Scum, or win the premiership? It's a no brainer for me - let them feel good about having 500 more members than us: I just want to see Kenny and Travis lift that cup!!!

Btw, the immediate following caller was a crows fan who said he hated Adelaide Oval and his seats are too far away from the action. Wished we never moved from Footy Park.

Rowe - "Awwww, jeez. Yeah, that is too bad".

I'm guessing the irony was slightly lost on him.

Well he's quite welcome to go and sit at Footy Park to watch the footy - the only thing is that, if his view of the game is bad now, it'll be even worse from there

oh is that really what that sydy campaigner said, we are running down adelaide oval.

wonder what the rest of the football world would think if they realised that an adelaide based media 'personality' on adelaide biggest afternoon football/sports show would go on air and say port adelaide were running down adelaide oval, how much support would the bitter syd get. what a knob.

I've just worked it out - Rowey MUST be on a stupid comments-based contract: the more dumb things he says, the more he gets paid. you know it makes sense.....

I would like to have been a fly on the wall when Stupid and Triggy negotiated the terms of Stupid's AFC Propaganda Department contract .................. then again, maybe not.

Every caller so far that has had a whinge about Adelaide Oval is a Camry, and by the sounds of them over 70 years old as well.

We have one caller ring up and just show concern that we may not be getting our fair share of the pie that we were asked to help grow - that's running down Adelaide Oval!

No it's not Stupid, it's called having a crack at the SMA for trying to rip us off.

El_Scorcho · May 22, 2014

I'm not sure that there is a seat in the house at Adelaide Oval that is further from the action than the equivalent seat at AAMI.

But it's too high sonny! I mean think of the pensioners won't you.

I only had to go up one set of stairs at AAMI. Now I have to go up 2 sets of escamalator things.

And don't get me started on the airport, I mean if your plane is at one of the far gates it must be at least a 3 mile walk to get to it.

So we apparently are the ones who ran down Aami Stadium

WHAT A GOOSE.

the SANFL are the ones who ran that place down if anyone. They couldn't afford to maintain it properly.

It's why they started ripping off both AFL clubs by winding back the turnstiles, a practice that was happening at both Adelaide and Port Adelaide games.

I guess they should have been charging a certain club rent so they could fund said maintanence :thumbsu:

They actually have one of those electric courtesy carts at AO to take people with mobility issues from the entrance to the lifts in the stands.

A lady I know who is in her 90's, a true lifetime Port supporter, was not going to go to AO as she thought it would be too difficult compared with AAMI but she is an Essential Power member and is there every week. She expressed her concerns re AO to the club and they ensured that she not only gets to the ground without any issues but that she can also easily get to her seat.

Maybe the corporation doesn't extend the same level of support to its customers.

Doctor Feel · May 22, 2014

The only things we are 'running down' are the crows, and the rest of the competition at present.

In her last years, my Great Grandma (a die-hard, sit on the fence at Alberton fan) couldn't go to Footy Park because of mobility issues. Footy park was crap for people like her.

My post wasn't meant to be offensive to anyone with mobility issues, more those who just whinge and the Crows age demographic. I heard the caller mentioned in the original post and he mentioned that he had a "better view" at AO than he had at AAMI, but it was too high. I don't think he had access issues, I think it was more that he felt that his seat at AO was further away than at AAMI. This is more a function of how season ticket holder seat allocations were handled. I can understand people being disgruntled occasionally.

In general, building standards now cater better for people with these issues who still want to go to the footy than was ever considered in the 1960s/70s when AAMI was built. This can only be a good thing. I have a 92 year old grandfather who lives interstate and we flew him to Adelaide at Christmas - and the airlines are fantastic, so it's good to hear our club helps out. I suspect the AFC does too.

The Riverbank stands have a number of spots for people with wheelchairs and mobility devices, I've not really looked in the Western Stand but assume it's the same. The only complaint I have heard was about movement around the ground (different levels) from Rowe's colleague Penberthy when he bitched about having to carry Kate Ellis after she broke her leg.

Really? Couldn't he have gotten his valet to do that? I know standards are dropping amongst the servant classes now that it's no longer socially acceptable to give them a good thrashing but I would have thought carrying a chap's injured better half was one of the fundamentals.
