I’d hazard most boards have many more ferals. PB stands out here as he’s a lone wolf. I mean we have a board over yonder, with multiple posters at risk of an aneurism, they get so worked up over us. And at least PB hasn’t gotten to the point of faking his own death to get sympathy.
Yep. The difference between their board and ours is stark. I read from time to time to just to see what their obsessive lunatics are in their several anti Port threads are deluding themselves with this week......
This was just posted by one of their resident teethgnashers, a direct except from the Souf Adelaide
2017 Annual report:
"......1991 and the creation of Adelaide FC to play in the VFL drained so many players that the SANFL competition was reduced to nine teams. Once again, Woodville FC was folded – this time into its western suburbs neighbor. The Woodville FC CEO was then appointed as Adelaide FC’s inaugural CEO. It was a very tough task as the new Club had a ground to play on but needed to raise capital, recruit players and coaches, secure sponsors and sign up members. SANFL provided the necessary capital and appointed the board. In return, Adelaide FC had to pay a dividend of $1 million per annum to SANFL. In 1991, SANFL was largely debt free and held $2.25M in the Players Retention Fund (which was why Adelaide FC was able to assemble such a strong team).
SANFL embarked on a building program to make necessary improvements to the stadium built at West Lakes with money generated by the league clubs. It entered into bank loans for development purposes. These were later drawn down upon to fund successive recurrent Port Adelaide FC trading losses. Until the AFL licences were sold when AFL Football moved to Adelaide Oval, Adelaide FC paid $16M to SANFL in dividends and Port Adelaide FC received $17M in grants from SANFL. To this day, Adelaide FC pays SANFL to field an SANFL team whereas Port Adelaide FC does not."
I mean honestly, firstly what an absolute load of bullshit for starters, and secondly WTF are they embarking on this revisionism in their 2017 Annual Report? They need to get these pathetic idiotic dinosaurs the hell away from these SANFL clubs if they want to survive. The bitterness of these shit kicker clubs and the people that run them is what will destroy the SANFL. And the subaru disciples just lap it all up........ sad bunch of campaigners.
