Certified Legendary Thread China History in the Making

Apparently Pembo and Will Goodings had a few derogative remarks to make about the deal on 5AA this morning

We could achieve world peace and they would find a negative. I can't think of one, but they would.

You may as well just head straight to the Bay. Bypass the main board. The same bottom feeders will be in both.

In traditional Chinese art and culture, black, red, qing (a conflation of the idea of green and blue sometimes called "grue"), white and yellow are viewed as standard colors. These colors correspond to the five elements of water, fire, wood, metal and earth, taught in traditional Chinese physics. Throughout the Shang, Tang, Zhou and Qin dynasties, China’s emperors used the Theory of the Five Elements to select colors.

Black - Ancient Chinese regarded black as the king of colors and honored black more consistently than any other colour.

White - White, corresponding with metal, represents gold and symbolizes brightness, purity, and fulfilment. But I'm also is used to symbolise death.

You know the whole "What away jumper should we use?" question? This is why. White means death in China, whereas teal, or qing, gives a sense of ancient history.

We'll be changing to a teal away jumper for this reason, and it's nothing to do with Facebook fans.

It's going to be against us

Hope not.

Your team colours are pretty much the Chinese flag.

That is fine, but will the collar be right?

Who cares? The Bulldogs having the colours of the Australian flag has worked out extremely well for them, hasn't it?

As predictable as the sun rising in the east.

True, who cares.
Even if both clubs gain an extra 20k members and a few sponsors, there's plenty to go around for both involved.

Will is the son of another Graham campaigner

Haha more Crows Ambassadors who were dragged into the Crows crisis meeting yesterday. This reaction is such dead giveaway. Go PORT!!!

And setting on West Lakes.

Couldn't help but reply to this amusing comment - now we are selling land the China are we?

(Crow comment) - So the guy that is giving Tianjin Power all this money is the same guy that is trying to buy an INSANE amount of South Australian land? -

Seriously...this is a disgrace.[/QUOTE]

I'm not sure about that, but it's kinda been happening for a while now in all honesty, (although not in SA look up who owns Cubbie Station) Cubbie Station. I think the hatred for Port is running very deep this year from all and sundry, which is kinda interesting, just keep sticking the boots in, and if you think a football club is going to assist in selling farming land as opposed to that being a Governmental issue then please write back a detailed explanation for me as i'd love to see your response. Kindly, Bemused.

So Chinese brides would never wear white?



I feel sorry for these dead Chinese sailors, seems they don't realise they are dead;

Its amazing that people don't understand how beneficial this setup will be for the 'away' team selling a home game. Its a financial free kick, potentially of epic proportions.

 

[Doctor Feel]

We have a fantastic sponsorship deal that could secure the financial future of Port for decades, why the **** are you shitposting about Crows fans

And that goes for the rest of you too.

Won't somebody think of the Cubbie Station?

Kochie was adamant the minute this was bought up on 360, he did an epic knife hand and was like "Now, first things first. The club that gives up their home game will be properly compensated."

 

[Steve Dore]

I can understand some opposition supporters objections to this because the last thing the Australian economy needs is foreign investment.

Exactly right. To quote what I just put on the main board:

In the last 4 home games against Port Adelaide in Victoria, Melbourne has averaged 19,840, North 18,205, St Kilda 20,074, Dogs 18,525. All four have consistently sold home games for matches against Port to other states in the last 10 years. So why not China? As Crow fans used to always say to us, 'how about your supporters turn up?'. Well how about the other half of their members turn up? If these home games are so valued by their supporters, why do 40-70% of their membership base stay home for these home games?
How much money do you reckon those 4 clubs make with those figures against Port at home? None. So instead of losing $100-200k on a home game, why not receive a cheque of $500k+ (because thats what it will be), completely risk free mind you, with none of the expenses of putting on the match? Its a free kick.
The same applies for Gold Coast if it is indeed them. A total financial free kick. Makes sense.

Response's like this is why SA is in the crap creek it is right now, unless forward thinking business savvy people are slow to have a go we ate truly going to be the the laughing stock of Tasmania and the likes.

What pisses me off is these toss pots actually end up benefiting from the hard work of others and will still sit in their armchairs and bitch about anything and everything.

I bet all of these people work for private companies that are owned by foreign investors.

That is true to some degree but you surely must see that the reason many many Port supporters are on here defending our club's fantastic bold move is because we are, as predicted, being absolutely abused and denigrated by jealous clubs and Crows Ambassadors. At least on here we can have our response, and yes the oppo and some press read this and many such as Snooping Crow are lurking. And yes we have a right to laugh at them and respond a bit. it will die down I am sure.

I bet all of these people work for private companies that are owned by foreign investors.
