Port Adelaide loses more than $3 million

[Dogs]

Interesting read. Another significant AFL bailout

PORT Adelaide has blamed poor crowds for another horror financial result.
Port today announced an operating profit of almost $888,000 for 2011.

But after an AFL emergency loan and another $2.05 million grant from the SANFL are taken out, the club finished more than $3 million in the red.

“We suffered in 2011 through lower-than-expected AFL home ground crowds, which were impacted on by some scheduling issues together with our team’s on-field results,” president Brett Duncanson said.

“It highlights the need for our members and supporters to get along to our home games and support the team and at the same time help our club’s bottom line.”

In the past two weeks Port has lost both its major sponsors.

But Duncanson said the club was on the right path, with the figure even before grants an improvement on last year's $3.7 million loss.

“While the club continues to face challenges, it is confident in its future and the strategies it has in place to become financially strong and independent once its home games are played at Adelaide Oval,” Duncanson said.

Port spent $14.7 million on its football department in 2011, more than $4 million less than premier Geelong.

Port Adelaide is a complex club. Trying to put this over as a bad thing is diverting attention from the bigger issues most NRL clubs have. So they made a net loss. So what? How many NRL clubs can say they have an operating profit than can service such a debt?

what important part ?

what Dogs posted was 100% accurate
without the 2.whateva it was Million in handouts ... the loss was over 3 million

plain n simple

[Beaussie]

So take all grants/handouts (whatever you want to call them) away from NRL clubs and you have what?

One example... Melbourne Storm running at a loss annually of over $11 milllion when you take out the NRL/News Ltd handout. Do we need to go further?

Melbourne Storm lose annually over $11 million. Never once in thier history have they posted a profit. I've no doubt they are far from alone in being financial basketcases of the NRL.

[AFL Warrior]

I think Dogs overlooked that profit at Port as it was too busy searching for that NRL ground in Adelaide

[Topper]

Probably true, AFL Warrior.

You idiot:

This is after all the other grants they normally get from the AFL, before you go dribbling about the storm. Yes I can see they posted a false profit, thats the point. You have been lisening to Princess Dribbler to much Beaussie, get back on your a game will you

[Dogs]

the silence is bliss

[AFL Warrior]

More claptrap from you Dogs on a topic on something you know nothing about....and the question remains where is your evidence of NRL grounds in Adelaide?
