First two footy games I worked at in South Australia I came out to find my car had been covered in some sort of substance.
Wise heads informed me it was because I still had Victorian plates on. Every game after I left a Port Adelaide clothing item visible, never touched again.
I think it was John Platten who had his car keyed while he was playing State of Origin for SA at Footy Park because it had Vic plates.
I lived at Delfin Island across from football park. Had to hide my vic number plated car on Match day.
I heard Darren Jarman's BMW had all 4 tyres slashed the 1st night he trained with Adelaide after transferring from Hawthorn.
They’re on a different rung of the evolutionary ladder.
Cornhole will be happy to be proven wrong by years end as he claims great joy n pride for providing the inspiration for TT to have an All Aust season.
I used to work (voluntarily) for a supporters group that organised trips interstate to watch the North Melbourne Giants basketball.
One year in Adelaide, we were spat on, had food thrown on us/at us while walking to our seats. It got worse when we had won the game and needed to leave the venue.
This was only topped by Illawarra (Wollongong) Hawks. The windows in the bus got smashed one year. So the coach captain had to drop us off, then go park waaaaaaaay away from the venue and return to pick us up. The last time I went in the old "Snake pit" we had to cross the court to get out the (only) exit. We had 20ish supporters and punches were thrown as we walked across the court. The Giants and Hawks players had to come out of the dressing rooms to calm things down.....and the *smile* court announcer told us "You won the game, why can't you just go home where you're from without starting fights.".
The special breeds exist both North and West of the borders...we're KaneCornered.
I have watched the tigers play in nsw, qld, WA and SA. Even over in Perth I don’t get the abuse I got in Adelaide.
I might consider going to Adelaide for a final but I would never go there again for a home and away game.
Had a family member who had his car keyed as well.
My parents drove to SA for a holiday once, and they got abuse for being Victorian. I worked with a bloke who was king hit at a State of Origin game over there.
It's always the other way around when ive gone to football Park.
The day Neeld kicked the winner 95 or 96,
The day Bickley broke Kellaways nose.
The night Justin Charles kicked 3 before half time.
Victorians 3
South Australians 0
We shouldve just given GWS all our picks for the next 5 years for this bloke.
It's shiit we got him 12 month's too late.

I’m that impressed with Timmy T that I’d like to see him take on the Captaincy next season , now I know SFA about his off field leadership skills and his desire to be the Skip, however everything on field tells me he is a leader.
Nank and Grimes are 2 of my all time favourite Tigers, however I don’t like dual Captains and both are closer to the end then the start , Taranto as at the perfect age and experience to lead us forward in a new era .
Love the fact he’s starting to nail those “ clutch” goals

You sure it wasn’t a couple of Punt Road Enders who found out who you were
Yeah Port supporters are definitely the most feral imo , haven’t done a lot of interstate trips in recent years , however over the years found them easily the most feral and disrespectful to other team supporters, I remember been in Adelaide for the 2015 final and all the support we were getting from locals who weren’t Port supporters, Crows fans despise them. I actually find myself wanting to give Port supporters a hard time when they play us at home like we get over there , then I realise that’s not what footys about and fair chance that type of feral supporter dosent leave the comfort of their dumpster .
I do have a lot of Port supporters in my family
