Being an Outer Army committee member for most of it's time, i have to say some have no idea in the workings of what we try to do. The Outer Army Committee and it's members over the years have done things that most don't know about, like donating GPS's to the Magpies, donation money to the QEH in the last 3 years, having sponsored Power players in the past 5 years, sponsored Magpie players as well, donating to the Back In Black fund, feeding supporters on game day, donating to Foodbank and giving out over 200 plus Outer Army flags last season.
We've been working with the club to make game day experiences better each year. We don't do travel much due to the cheap prices of plane tickets, but if members want to travel we'll do our best to accommodate them. We nearly all got kicked out of the Dome in Melbourne a few years ago because we wanted to unveil our Heritage Crowd banner (which we did in the end) and if that ain't passion for the club and in what we do, i don't know what is. Please don't knock us, as we try to do our best to serve the club, it's supporters, our members and the community at large.
Yes, we have different ideals but we strive to work together to achieve our main aim of adding colour and atmosphere to game days. However this is difficult to achieve this if supporters are despondent with the way our team is performing on field. But the flags are out there, we just need them being waved at games. Hopefully 2013 will be a better year on and off the field of play. Adelaide Oval is just around the corner and the Outer Army will be there doing the hard yards. We are one... We Are Port Adelaide! Thank you for listening and go the Power in 2013 and beyond.
