So, the Crows real achievement is not that they have 50,000 members that want to go to games, but that they have sold 50,000 season tickets when only 41,000 want to go...

I guess that is good marketing, but hardly a vote of confidence in the supporter base....
Another Port fan in denial, how can you throw stones about something when Port have the same problem. :confused:

Only about 28k of Port's 36k members turned up for Waga's 300th game. That means that 8k port supporters didnt give a rats about his milestone and stayed and home with better things to do

Whats your point anyway or are you trying to pretend that all Port members turn up each week :D

Actually, 5 minutes (touch-typing)....

Weigh that up against the 15 minutes each Crow supporter needs to read all the 2-syllable-and-up words (un-comp-ro-mi-sing), and I think that's a good trade-off.;)

Why are the Crows trying to sell tickets to the first game anyway? I thought they had filled up the stadium with members already? Let me guess, they are saving up their petrol money for a trip to Melbourne for the Grand Final again! Doh!
Power fans:-

1. Attacking Crows fans for a lack of education.

2. Attacking the Crows for poor attendances.


Is anyone elses irony meter exploding right about now?

Just trying to understand why you are trying to sell tickets when you supposedly sell out every game with your immense membership.

Or why you would use McLeod and Edwards hugging as "best-friends" in an advertisement when it is quite clear they aren't?

So YOU'RE the guy that bought the one power membership this year.


I was wondering who you were.

Power for Good the reason we dont get a full crowd despite a sell out is some of those tickets have gone to Port Members of Footy Park who are intimidated by the size of the crowd and dont go. They instead roam the car park looking for smoke butts and cars without alarms.

Not all members are ticketed, therefore we have over 50 000 members, but not 50000 seats sold immediately.

The club, with its membership waiting list, could easily sell enough memberships to remove the need to have to sell tickets to the general public. They wouldnt do this however, so the non member supporters have a chance to go to the game if they want to.

Was the term best friends used in the advert, or are you just adding your own spin on it now?

Yeah, I know about the non-member tickets allowance (about 5000 if I remember), I still wonder about why they would need to advertise the sale of these limited tickets, I thought that it was nigh-on impossible to get these either as they sold out so quickly.

No, it was two guys who hate each other, smiling and hugging and congratulating each other... :confused:

That just represents how Adelaide supporters really are. Pretend to like each other on the surface but when you get in a bit further they really do hate each other, probably because they aren't a truly unified team. The infamous 5AA clip is proof of this.

To be truly unified doesn't the captain have to be well liked and respected by his teammates?:confused:

Or in the case of Toots, looking for dogs to sexually assault.

Its their wives that hate each other not them. This has been well documented. Macc and Edwards have a better relationshipn than what Tredders has with the entire PAFC players list.

Very true. J Morg. Don't forget he has his camera with him to record any unexpected bowl movements the dog may have. Then he will call me and you "gutter tyke" for mentioning his actions. Toots is a low life and has showed this with his photography interests.

The disturbing thing is this, I wonder what type of images he has that have not been posted on B13. He would surely have an extensive "library" on his hard drive that he keeps for his own personal viewing.
