ProvenanceThis season's ticket was issued to a female supporter of the Port Adelaide Football Club. The history of Port Adelaide Football Club dates back to its founding on 12 May 1870. In 1902, Port Adelaide took the field in black and white guernseys that came to identify ' The Magpies'.
Since the club's first game on 24 May 1870, it has won 36 SANFL premierships, including six in a row. The club also won the Champions of Australia competition on a record four occasions. In 1997, the club joined the Australian Football League - the only pre-existing non-Victorian club to have done so - and subsequently added the 2004 AFL Premiership to its achievements.SignificanceThe season's ticket links to the history of the Port Adelaide Football Club established in the 1870s. The Australian Rules football code was particularly popular in South Australia. The Magpies evolved into Port Power and the club has always had a passionate and strongly parochial fan base., binding the Port Adelaide community during tough times. The Lady's ticket suggests that this support came from both both men and women.DescriptionPort Adelaide Football Club Lady's Ticket, Season 1911. Signed by J Lodge Secretary and Treasurer.
