Talking Footy

can't turn a profit

they
simply cannot finish in the black

have a read of this
http://www.theage.com.au/AFL/AFL-new...12-11lc5m.html

after
average crowds of 44,000
a record

after memberships of 55,000
a record
& after every game they played at the Adelaide oval having its corporates & private boxes sold out
every game
essentially every aspect of the operation cranking along earning record revenues

these wombats
these wankers
these incompetent drop kicks ... still posted a 2 Million dollar ............. LOSS


the other Adelaide club
the budgies
aren't expected to do any better
we were assured by fumblers
that when these 2 sides moved to the new venue ... their days of struggling financially would be ova
that absolute wanker stewie
& his frop kick mate dwac
said it was assured

they have barely done any better financially then last year

they moan about the poor deal with the Adelaide oval
but they used to moan about the same thing at their old ground
heres the thing
you cockheads negotiated the fucking deal
at some stage
did someone in their finance area when seeing the deal the Adelaide oval put forward not see
that even pumping at maximum force
they still would lose coin if they accepted it

fucking clowns

I mean how much better could it get for these teams in terms of support
how can they ever expect to make money in lean times .. cos they simply wont
& the VFL will be left to foot more bills for struggling clubs on top of the 8 or so they already have
the VFL would be very worried about this
this code has got its finance model so horribly wrong at so many clubs it beggers belief
more proof the VFL aren't getting it right

do we need to get the raiders people in to show these dickheads how to do it
they know how to turn a profit
maybe not in their football dept ... but their model is second to none.
seriously
you couldn't make this shit up

Bloody hell, I'm all for trashing sports I don't follow but seriously, something is wrong somewhere when you lose money with those stats. Sort of like the qld teams paying anywhere up to 300k a game at their 3 main stadiums. Bloody greedy merkins come to mind.

Yeah same here Parra
we may stick the boot in with our tongues in our cheek
But one has to admit the derpball in SA was the highlight of the VFL season

Til now
theyre Still pumping out multi million $$ losses which is astounding &
Very very worrying

I thought Kochie was going to fix everything, not as good as made out if he signs contracts that bankrupt the club.

This is SA Football politics at its finest.

The SANFL owned both Adelaide and Port Adelaide and milked them dry - and are continuing the ripoff at Adelaide Oval because of the moronic deal that the SANFL were allowed to sign with the SA Government. The current deal at Adelaide Oval was signed by the clubs under SANFL ownership.

Theres a lot of parties to blame here, but the clubs were effectively forced into the arrangement by 1) their owners 2) their government and 3) their facilities (also owned by their owners).

Its the same excuses wookie
How did the VFL allow this to happen


Again


their commission run victardian rules in this country dont they ?

It is ridiculous they allowed these clubs to jump from the fry pan into the fire
High farce
A joke

Well all I can say as a fan of sport is, stop bleeding the punters dry and for goodness sake, please make sure you don't kill the club with greedy tactics like charging 300k a game or whatever, it's a joke.

All codes are copping it, this is one thing all fans should agree on whatever the sport they follow, if they keep going, no sport will be able to be played because of the stupid costs.

The AFL doesnt run football in SA. You'd do well to read up on the animosity between the SANFL and the VFL. Until then, Id suggest you know fuck all about it.

The AFL controls the competition, the clubs and the facility they played at were literally owned by the state competition. Nothing the AFL could do about the end contract, although its heaviliy involved in the review currently underway.

The commission.
Thats what I said

Its called the ...AFL commision...in case you didnt know
& they do run yr game nationally just like our ARLC

I mean
If the QRL were arse raping the QLD based NRL sides it would be the ARLC whod stop it as they control the purse strings overall

Yr commission is asleep at the wheel it would appear
Derpball in SA is in complete crisis
A big new venue
All the hype
& the end result ... another cluster fuck :_<>

wookie, i read on a soccer forum that adelaide united made a $250,000 profit from their game at adelaide oval earlier this season because they signed a very cheap rental deal with the stadium

the game drew 33k

if the 2 adelaide clubs are drawing average crowds of even more than that yet are still losing money per game then it suggests that that the stadium deal is very expensive...i didn't know the sanfl ran the stadium or the clubs...but it makes sense if they're robbing those clubs of money.

perhaps an internal investigation into the deal needs to be done similar to what they did with suncorp stadium

i dont care what code you support, theirs nothing worse than corruption from administration. fair to say we've all suffered from it one way or the other over the years. really is a disgrace if they're charging the AFL teams what looks to be nearly triple of what the market price should be

Theres good deals out there
Stadia need tennents ... play hardball
Tell venues to get fucked if they ask too much

ANZ tennents pay nothing to play on it


Im almost certain the VFL contributed some of their coin to the construction costs
Of course they would have had an eye on the deal to be struck

& this suggestion these clubs were forced is nonsense
We're forcing you into bankruptcy ... itll be a shitty deal
Again..
Enjoy

Who the fuck would be a party to that
Even the owners would see theres no point in ruining their clubs with a stupid deal
Nah..
This is just a smoke screen for Derpball incompetence



They claim to be the best at stadium deals
Like fuck they are :_<>

wook any info on the rental fee for adelaide oval?

In South Australia and Western Australia the game is actually run by the respective state organisations, with some funding from the AFL for Auskick and other programs. Which is why they use different ball manufacturers and even have slight variations on match rules.

The AFL is directly responsible for every other state and territory body - outside of WA and SA.

The WAFC and SANFL have total control over the club licenses, they literally own them (at least until this year in Adelaide, and its still the case in Perth) - something that the QRL/NSWRL/VRL could only dream of, as well as the state bodies almost total control over the stadiums the clubs play at. The situation with the ARLC is not even remotely comparable.

Your a fucking dumbass that is almost as bad as post-hoc when it comes to the AFL

I'm a dumbass
& you cant even spell
You're ... a fucking dumbass

:_<>

& yes
What great management from sth australian derpball

Bankrupt yr clubs .. thats the path to prosperity

Im sure the QRL wouldnt even bother dreaming of that you moron
Its fucking crazy :_<>

Yeah I agree in a way with Raider, if the AFL have got all these things done for stadiums over the years and put some of their own hard earned into them, what in the world is going on when they agree to such pathetic costs? Yeah done good in NSW and QLD which is a shame for the popular sports, but what about where it is popular, it's been shafted like RL has in our places, mind you, not to the extent we have, mainly Adelaide where we are copping shit from all directions.

Fancy slogging away
Working your tits off to succeed

Just hand your cash straight ova to these grubs

Why is that, are they greedy, or do they think a third team is on the horizon for SA?
