3 games, Empty Stands say’s the Gold Coast
Who does Ron Clarke think he is?
Who do the South East Queensland people think they are? This is a comment I was reading from the Lord Mayor Ron Clarke, “after rejecting the AFL’s relocation offer the Roos would not be welcome on the coast and would play in front of neat empty stands”. This proves to me that they have no understanding what so ever about the traditions of AFL Football and do not deserve to have one of our clubs move there as far as I am concerned!
3 Games in 2008
The North Melbourne Football Club are due to play 3 games on the Gold Coast next year, and if this is the kind of reception they are going to get then the South East Queensland people should be ashamed of themselves and their Lord Major. This is a group of people that less than a week ago were excited at the prospect of adopting the Kangaroos as their own.
Attention all Melbourne Football Fans
It was a brave decision by Brayshaw and the Kangaroos, one that I had concerns over in regards to whether he would be able to deliver the goods, but after comments like that I implore, not only North Melbourne fans but football fans in general to get behind the Roos in their endeavours to stay in Melbourne.
It will be interesting to see how the fans up there start out all jubilant about having a side in 2010, and then come plummeting to the ground when they struggle down the bottom of the ladder for the first 5 - 6 years of their existence.
Let’s see how the South East Queensland people respond to “their” team then?
