How do you rate David Koch's tenure as Port president?

[Freomaniac]

There were raw figures that came out 15 years or so ago that showed the revenue that each club took from game days. Port and Adelaide were last by a mile, Adelaide made a very small amount, Port made none. They also received next to no catering revenue and were the only clubs that had that arrangement. Port and Adelaides “breakeven” point was approx twice as high as every other club in the league.

Haysman was not a good CEO, but one of the only good things he did was call out the SANFL on the SA clubs stadium deal and got it rearranged so it was more viable for each club

A quick google search from 2010 shows that Adelaide and Port were 15th and 16th in stadium yield across the afl, with Port over $4m and Adelaide $2.4m behind the AFL average

well thats good to hear. Port were paying 2.2 million a year in rent at Footy park.

WA had a bad end of a deal. Subiaco oval in 2011 had wooden seats. lol

Dockers and eagles paid 3.1 million a year in rent. And yes I remember the price of the ticket I went to a Dockers game in 2011 vs the suns... the price was $55.80 cents. So 30,000 times that by $50 is 1.5 million dollars a game.

Port fans didnt go to games when Port are garbage. 2012 proves that. Port Struggled to Average 20,000 people a game at $30-$35 a ticket. $30 times 20,000 is $600,000 a game. its not sustatinable when the Salary cap at the time was $8.2 million or the minimum cap wa $7.5 million.

port were never in serious danger and weren't close to the nothingness of North. someone just brought this up the other day. North over the last 5 years makes our worst 5 years look like a dream. the money problems stemmed from a poor deal that the AFL was never going to let kill us, they let us break away from the crippling stadium deal of west lakes and find solutions which we did!

Port were far worse off field in 2011 than North are today.
Port were over $10m in debt in 2011 while North are debt free today.
Port were getting similar crowds in Adelaide in 2011 to what North are getting in Melbourne today.

Extremely positive in the early days, Port were a joke in 2011/12, yet the club had fantastic energy in 2013/14. He, like the coach has hung around way too long now though and they have both lost a significant portion of the member base.
