It was good because both clubs averaged high crowds. 50k crowds were regular.
But now both of us have seen a decrease in attendances.
As I said, this deal is geared towards maintaining high crowd numbers.
FP had more of a safety net for low crowds. But little real reward for capacity crowds.
To put it bluntly, any crowd below around 35k loses far more cash than that same crowd number at FP. But any crowds over 40k, the clubs get far more than they did at FP.

I agree with what you said, but if we didn't move both of our crowds would be pitiful by now.
Even now with Port at a low pt our crowds are still around 10k higher at Adelaide Oval.
The deal just needs seriously looking at (again).

You've been BoshtrichedPort board triggered !
They’ve take away my “like” function
And as I said, our club had the foresight to know the deal/financial set up sucked. We were forced to moved.
You guys jumped at it.
You guys are now realizing how bad the deal actually is.

You've hit the nail on the head, both clubs have too many mouths to feed.
It is ridiculous that Port can have a membership base like they do, get decent crowds and yet still lose money.
Unfortunately I have no idea what the answer is because the Sandfull are so financially entrenched into Adelaide Oval that there's no way around both clubs having to give a lion's share of the stadium profits to the SMA (SANFL)

As long as we wanna lay claim to the best league outside of the AFL....
******* pissant view. The sooner the SANFL relics move on the better.
Adelaide should be as big as WCE financially.
We'll never succeed when we are both propping up them.
Moving footy to the city was a good move, the way it happened was deplorable and symptomatic of the Demitriou era and Port’s desperation at the time, the back door dealing behind the backs of the two main stakeholders is typical of both entities.
Guess what, the same morons are complaining about the same problems they’ve brought on themselves and once again it’s everyone else’s fault.
God forbid it has anything to do with poor management and some of the flakiest front running supporters in the country.
F*** them.

Who runs Geelong's stadium?
Is there a group like the SMA who are ultimately responsible for getting it ready for cricket, football, hiring it out for concerts etc?
Then GFC effectively hires the ground from them?

The problem in SA is that both us and Port are seen as cash cows to prop up the SA footy industry. The SANFL and the filter down.
The major earner for this now being the revenue from Adelaide Oval via the SMA .
Other states have accepted the AFL as the major funder of the sport in their states.
The SA Football Commission wont do this as they pride themselves on being "independent" of the AFL. And beat their chest about having the second best league. Despite AFL games being their main earners.
Our two clubs are the only two who bare the brunt of financially supporting an entire state's football industry.
Even WA accept AFL funding for their State programs.
Until this ethos changes we will never get a fair deal at AO.

The Kardinia Park Stadium Trust run the stadium. It is essentially a government department.

A sponsor update for the cousins down the road...
Gee, I wonder why Steve Marshall was at the announcement of the Gupta sponsorship at Port......
And yet was not seen at our Optus one. Despite Optus being the SA State Government Telecommunications vendor........

Another ****ing Port supporting premier. Oh joy.
Kym Dillon is the equivalent of bickley. Big AFC apologist.
They should do a show together, would be a hit.......at West Lakes
SANFL does accept AFL development money. I doubt the funding varies very much between the SANFL and WAFL.
Happy to be proven wrong if you’ve got solid figures.

Here are their 2018 Financials
An asset revaluation and a new borrowing of $4.5m - given what has happened this year regarding crowds, membership and sponsorship I would suggest the debt is larger now.

What amazes me is why does anyone think that the AFL PAFC would be any different to the SANFL PAFC.
For all the success the PAFC had in the SANFL (god knows how many flags since 1870) it didn't translate financially - the AFL entity is no different.
And why?
It is the demographic that follows the club. End of story.
I was basing the funding from AFL on hearsay so not a hard fact.
However the prevailing attitude of the AFL clubs being used as cash cows for the SANFL does limit us.
We would be as big as WCE (probably bigger) if we were not treated that way.
