In reply to Apparently it was South by billythekid
There were quite a few clubs that didn't want to allow Port (and North Melbourne) into the VFL because of the crowd 'behaviour' at their respective home ground(s). South's motive may have been different. One of the breakaway clubs put forward a proposal prior to 1896 to merge a lot of the neighbouring clubs such as Port and South, St Kilda and Prahran, Preston and Northcote , etc. as a solution to the excessive number of clubs in the VFA which was one of the many reasons that led to the formation of the VFL. This proposal obviously never got off the ground.

Sorry double post the first post took a very long time to load.
I have just turned the tv on. Noticed Stkilda jumpers and have tuned it off. I'm with you Billy. Sandy should get rid of st Kilda once and for all and go alone.
