Has anyone here seen the St George/South Sydney mural at Gilchrist Park in Bexley North? Despite having played soccer at the ground a number of times I only noticed it the other week.
I spoke to a local of ten years who said it had been up for as long he's lived there. It features a Souths player running down the wing with a Saints defender wrapped around his legs attempting a Sattler like tackle. The backdrop is that of a leafy suburban oval with a picket fence. It really was quite lovely.
Any way I was down there today and some low merkin has defaced the whole thing by painting over the Saints player and graffiting in the background. :evil: :evil: I'm really pissed off cause the mural predated SL and seemed like a relic of a time when Rugby League was King in this city.
Any way I'll give the council a buzz and ask them what the deal is with things like this do they have them repainted ect...
p.s It features the writing 'NSWRL, 1971' Is there any significance of this year in terms of Saints/Souths rivalry?
