the conflicting opinions regarding when each club started, history and corportaion v franchise is now going to be settled with some cold hard facts.
Sorry to bring this up but this issue has to be settled once and for all so that the petty squabbles (particluarly by Port Supporters) can finally stop.

In summary the the Port Adelaide Football Club (AfL version) was established in 1996, therefore port supporters arguments as to starting in 1870 is a load of rubbish, so to their claims to the 35 SANFL premierships won by the magpies before the AFL team entered the AFL. This was by a seperate club (company). You can not steal the history of someone else and claim as your own just because you have similar names.
Therefore PAFC have the least history, heritage and tradition of all clubs in the AFL.
Secondly both clubs are corporations, that is companies limited by gurantee. The Adelaide Crows are not a franchise, they are a company as is Port Power, there is absolutely no difference between the 2. Any argument to the contrary is just Port supporters jealosuly at the fact they have less, history, tradition and supporters than their cross town rivals.
Argue all you want, these are the cold hard facts of the issue. If you don't beleive me check out www.asic.gov.au and do a search for the Port Adelaide Football Club.
The Port Adelaide Football Club Ltd Est 1996, 1 AFL premiership a poor shadow of the Adelaide Football Club established 1990, 2 AFL premierships.
