im glad the guernsey ruling got turned over.. it would have made it worse for the crows... by march 29th the heat would have died down and the crows will have more ammo to use on port how 'they sooked and didnt want us playing in the once off jumper"
the jumper didnt bother me but yeah its for the best in the end that we werent allowed to wear it. just proved what sooky la la port fans are.

You've got to be the easiest person to prove wrong on the forum. Port disapproved of the guernsey so did presidents of Clubs based out of SA. Even roo wasn't fond of it. The only morons who liked the idea were Rowe and Cornsey and let's be real here, those guys are clowns.
As for port fans thinking we are great after 1 win, well you obviously don't pay attention to how the crows work. Half the fans for club for all south Australians only show their moronic faces when they are winning. So by your logic, you'd hate at least 50% of crows fans?

talking about the easiest person to prove wrong......

question for you.....with a current membership base nearing record levels for the Power (mind you, in this is also the 11 game membership), where were all these supposed fans/members during the Primus years when you were attracting sub 20K crowds???? BTW, I would throw away the canvas used to cover up the empty bays just yet.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Port Power's membership has only grown at at average of 206 members per year since formation.
Attendance wise, based on last year's memberships and attendances, an average of 73% of the Crows members attended their games..
Whilst an average only 66% of Port Power's members attended their games...

Problem with those statistics Swanny is that for a long time Crows Season Tickets were sold out. The waiting list at one stage was 7 years. I had to sleep outside the Festival Theatre to be able to get my tickets. Not many people simply pay for a membership to not attend games.

I'm going into this year with some quiet confidence. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong last year. Tippetgate was a major distraction, our forward was devastated with injury and Sanderson couldn't quite get his message across as well as he could the year before.

I think 2012 we over achieved as most had written us off, much the same as clubs did with Port in 2013. It will be interesting to see where both clubs finish. I think the Crows will end up 6th with Port 8th.

Looking forward to the Lions V Crows game!!!!!
