Roast The media....*Shakes Head* Part 4

[PAFC66]

Well Crowie said 'in the AFL eyes, the Crows are the haves and Port are the have nots'... a sly dig at Port geez

It's true though.. " in the afl eyes"

We will be the haves very soon though

Then tried to justify it as a legit comment rather than a rubbish dig, pathetic!

 

[PAFC66]

Crows are gonna want to have more members than us this year

The thin veneer peels back very quickly, doesn't it. Rooch's article has offended him badly.

Categorically denied by port in statement by club/KT

Bollocks dribble from MMM as usual

I would stop following Port Adelaide if...

A) We became Western Power/Drop Port Adelaide name.

B) Leave Alberton.

KT doesn't stuff around.

That rumour about relocating to the Oval behind Adelaide High School is about 12 months old.
The spin-merchants are having to scrape the bottom these days.

Why is this being discussed?

 

[Dylan8]

Triple M is less reliable than the Scandals and Rumours board

He's right though: the Crows have amateurs running their club - we have not

Why the hell would the club leave Alberton, its our greatest asset. Players training there get the feel of a proper ground, they see the history and the facilities are very good. Its a 15 minute drive to the City ffs, it's not like it's in Gawler!

Having some clubrooms in the city however is a different matter and would make a lot of sense.

ReallY? Well, I would never stop following Port Adelaide, never!

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Makes more sense for tingles at some point, get Menzel closer to the pubs etc.

What's this...'Nice try Nigel, you campaigner. Love KT' **** that guy's sharp!

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Roo makes rumour on Portz. Yep, okay MMM.

 

[AdsGoNads]

Nope. Rumour is of secret discussions with SA government of moving home base to Railways oval precinct and beat crows to city. (#1 Port road)

It would be a really s**t day in SA if that were to ever happen.

 

[gooleyghost]

Haha KT was very quick to say otherwise about the relocating of port. Thank you KT. Never leave.

Yep, he squashed that pretty quick!

Did you stop following Port Adelaide in 1975?

I am all for staying at Alberton but at some point in the next few years some money needs to be invested in the place...

Hopefully with the profits we are making we can set aside a few G's to redevelop the seats in the Quinn stand

Also improve the lights so if it's a dark day we can see more clearly.

As well as improving player facilities further.

Be nice if we could do a deal with Tennis SA and have a joint/permanent bar plus commercial outlet on their grounds and have Port paraphernalia on show 365 days a year, similar to what Adelaide had at football park.

It will be.

This is my issue with Alberton Oval - 170m x 130m. Compare that to the MCG (160x141m), Etihad (159.5m x 128.8m). The dimensions are perfect for playing at Adelaide Oval (167.05m x 123.93m), because they are almost identical, but if we want to get an advantage against other teams we need to do some match sim on an oval that mimics the dimensions of those other two grounds.

So while we would never move from Alberton, there is no reason why we couldn't expand into the city and create an 'elite sports facility' that is tied to what Burgess is doing with UniSA. Then our players could train there twice a week, AO once a week and Alberton twice a week and get the leg up that clubs like Hawthorn receive by having dedicated elite facilities.
