Paddy calling it like it is https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/360468713/paddy-gower-auckland-fc-are-quite-fake-phoenix-are-nzs-real-pro-football-club

" So where the hell did ‘The Port’ come from? Maybe we should ask the Auckland FC marketing team, because it seems they created ‘The Port.’ It's not really a supporters’ club - it is a marketing initiative. "

Ooooh, that one's got a grain of truth in it

In that The Port have evolved in a close relationship with club management, in the sense that YF didn't, I believe?

(Although I do think The Port is a good name, at least no sillier than any other name)
