Not quite correct. The club was formed in 1996.LongBomb said:Port Power - est 1997.
No, PAFC was formed in 1880 or thereabouts. This is the club which now has the nickname "Power", and which now has a team entered in the AFL competition. The AFL wanted a traditional SANFL club to join the AFL in 1997, and that was exactly what happened.Angry Dragon said:Not quite correct. The club was formed in 1996.
As a Crows supporter, why do you assist in enabling their false history? The club they have in the SANFL was formed in 1870.ok.crows said:No, PAFC was formed in 1880 or thereabouts.

The club that was formed in 1996 was the "Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club" (PAMFC) which played its first game in the SANFL in 1997.

It's like the local nerdy kid telling everyone the big bikie down the road is really a great guy, just so he we will be left alone by the thug.

The fact that you think it doesn't make it right. I can't see what is so attractive to Victorians to attempt blatant history revisionism on the acts of South Australian footy clubs.Jarryd_S said:Port Adelaide Football Club-Est 1870.
Port Adelaide Power-Est 1996, entered AFL 1997.
I think that's about right.
Port Adelaide Football Club-Est 1870, entered AFL 1997 and made to change nickname to Power and made to change club colours in order to appease Collingwood.
Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club-Est 1996, entered SANFL 1997.
I don't need any protecting, thanks anyway.Natman said:Leave ok Crows alone - he is just giving you some education.

Apparently, the simple truth does need protecting, however.
Please add the sanfl link as well.Looks like the anti port trolls are running out of new material and ok.crows, RESPECT is the word i have for you.Well done mate.Troy Wingate said:FINALLY! There is a Crows supporter on BigFooty who knows our true history, not this BullSh*t that stubborn ass Cows supporters have made up.
To everyone who continously try to rubbish Port's history and make your own, how about checking some sites like these:
www.portadelaidefc.com.au
www.portmagpies.com.au
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Adelaide_Power
They all clearly state how Port Adelaide's history goes. If you can't understand that, or believe it's a load of rubbish, then you have serious problems.
ok.crows, full props to you man. I've finally seen a respectable Crows supporter here on BigFooty.
ok.crows said:PS: Having said all that, I note that the Port Adelaide Magpies Football Club on the SANFL website:
http://www.sanfl.com.au/default.aspx?s=genericnewsdisplay&kw=66&aid=98130
... claims the Port Adelaide Football Club's history as its own. No wonder people are confused. "Port Adelaide" (whoever they are, and whoever they claim to be) deserve all the abuse that they cop on this issue, pulling stunts like that IMO.
