This bloke is brilliant for sport in SA. He basically founded Adelaide United, put up at least a million to kick that off. Very similar to Alan Scott in many respects. Good on him for supporting the Power, great effort. Well done – ROBBO

Let's hope the new administration is heralding a new and successful direction for the club. Great news. – PORTFAN

That's brilliant news! Things are looking up at Powerland. - PORT STEVE

Well done Gordon, welcome to the Port Adelaide family, your generosity is much appreciated - BOSS 351

Love your work Gordon. Welcome aboard – POWERAGE
