I want to cancel my membership and get a new one because the guy who sits behind me is a ****wit and I'm not sure how much more I can take before I turn around and belt him, does that count?
Say hi to me next time

I think many of us vent on Bigfooty. But no way i would not renew the 4 memberships i get for my family. It has been a difficult last 4 years....but we must continue to turn up and support
I admit I'm struggling this year, but Ill still be there next year.
Even though we were absolute s**t 2008-2011 I did not feel the angst I feel at the moment, i guess back then the expectations were really low anyway.
2 weeks into the off season and Ill be gagging for some footy (as will most of us)
Some players and staff need a ******* big boot up the date when the end of year review is done and we have to get out of the mindset we have as a club.
As supporters we take the turds with the truffles - its just for the last 4 years we have a lot of turds and **** all truffles..

The night I met Dylan8 and he came up and sat in our seats was the night we propelled Richmond on their journey to the flag last year, despite us looking comfortable most of the game.
As we were folding like a house of cards I snapped and had the melt of melts.
This guy two rows in front of us who resembles Hans Moleman turned around and told me to "go and support the Crows", at which point I stood up and launched into a sermon about how we accept mediocrity too easily and whatever verbal rampage about whatever.
Poor Dylan, with a lifetime record of 1-for-1, assumed this was a regular occurrence and prefers to watch from a paddleboat on the Torrens whenever he ventures over now.
93% of 11 gamers from 2017 renewed in 2018 according to Matt Richardson when the AFL released the audited numbers last week. 2nd only to Richmond.Yeah I think that’s what I’m saying. The numbers of rusted ons who renew every year doesn’t fluctuate much (RussellEbertHandball ????) so our number of ”microwavers” is fairly low.
I agree with the thought behind the thread. I can't comprehend that someone would ditch a membership. I can understand not wanting to attend, as it is emotionally exhausting, but I couldn't ever stop supporting my club.
Personally I just came home a month ago from my honeymoon through Europe. We were 4-3 when I left, and besides the Eagles smashing us the day I hopped on a plane to Egypt, the last game I saw live was the emotionally sapping loss to Geelong which had me feeling like I needed a break.
While I was away the club went 7-1.
I came back thinking "here we go, we've arrived". Even though the only game I got to watch, in full, completely live, was the loss to the Hawks.
Since then we've gone 1-4. We haven't arrived.
So while I've been in Australia we are 5-7. While I was away we are 7-1.
So for me I 100% feel like I need a break from this team. I'm sick of them pissing away opportunities, and I'm sick of watching us do the same crap over and over. So again, I completely understand all the deserved negativity the team is getting, and I remain bitter and twisted myself because of what I've seen. However no matter what I'd never ditch a membership, jump ship or stop supporting my club.
I am guilty of saying I will quit. I admit that and I am ashamed and sorry.I am getting a bit sick already of all the people throwing in the towel and wanting to throw away their memberships and seemingly encouraging others to do the same.
The club is bigger than the individuals.
I am in no way an apologist for the individuals at our club may well have failed this year (I will wait til the end of the year to do my review) but I have been a Port member my entire life and that is not going to change any time soon.
I will still be here supporting the club both emotionally and financially for as long as there is a PAFC and I will keep agitating for change until we are holding the cup aloft again.
And I know that the victory will be all the sweeter for it, just like it was in 2004.
This club needs your support, we are not a massive financial behemoth. We need all our members to 'live the creed', agitate from the inside not from outside, and make sure we return to where we belong.
HTFU.
yep agree.
Its been disappointing yes. But to put some perspective on it.
If the Houston/Dixon collision didn't happen and if the score review worked properly, we would be on 14 wins and in the top 4.
Game of inches, these things happen unfortunately.
Literally the only way you can affect change as a supporter is by not giving the club money.I will still be here supporting the club both emotionally and financially for as long as there is a PAFC and I will keep agitating for change until we are holding the cup aloft again.
How many people are throwing in the towel? name names.I am getting a bit sick already of all the people throwing in the towel and wanting to throw away their memberships and seemingly encouraging others to do the same.

Was there? I remember the line being drawn in the sand every week but I'm not sure what else you're referring to.

The last time supporters walked away worked out pretty well for us. Much better than if we sold out AAMI every weekend.
Probably 2010 onwards. Chocco gone. Guernsey changed. AO move. Duncanson and Haysman out. Koch and KT in. Primus out. The results were dire but there was always movement behind the scenes, central to our football operations.
Now, we have China and some other goodwill stuff that may not ever eventuate. The football goes along with little to no questions.
