One Team State- Pros/Cons

[KingsCrow]

I've always thought about if the Crows were to be the only team in SA (again) would it be a postive or a negative. I always imagine the AFL becoming like the NFL, each city having one team which everyone rallies behind, like The Pittsburg steelers, they won the superbowl and 500,000 people came to the street celebration. Crazy. Yes I am being serious. I think about the Pro's such as the state rallying behind the team (would take a while for the Port Hardcores to convert to our almighty Crow Religion, but eh). There are a few Con's ofcourse. Ill add my few, what are your thoughts.



Pro's

- A state team, something which unites SA (besides Adelaide United haha)
- Greater support for the one team, sold out games and massive support for the team. Opposition teams would hate coming here
- The strenght of the club would grow, corporate support would increase.
- The SANFL would get more attention, which is a good thing in my mind
- Crowd might actually make some noise

Con's

- AFL in town only one every 2 weeks
- No showdowns, no real rival
- Overexposure of the Crows, would have to learn about what Nick Gill does in his spare time in more detail (AHHH)
- Probable weaking of the sport, AFL wouldn't be in town as often, Port Supporters may never support the crows and lose interest in the sport.



O'well thats my rambling for tonight
