What’s in it for WA? all we’d end up with is constant Sydney media speculation that the bears are moving back to ns oval! If we’ve got perth owners willing to put $10mill on the table we don’t need a joint ownership club with another state LC. We can have a partnership with a reserve grade nsw cup or Intrust cup side without handing over club ownership.
Yeh that’s my usual last stop before KO!
Depends on the ownership model and the reasons why, just to get a club in now I’d say no. I’d rather wait twenty more years and get a succesful club one day than one that was blighted with politics and old bears stooges bemoaning the lack of games at ns oval!
I think the Bears option mightn’t be for Perth but it might not be an option for somebody if managed properly. You could bring some old Bears fans back as a leverage for the initial phase of the new team until they develop their own supporter base down the track whilst you can also start doing something about North Sydney
By LC I presume you mean there LC paying in, my understanding is they dont generate much profit so unlikely to be able to contribute anything major,
Yes that is still the case. Despite that wc Eagles have managed to become one of the richest sports clubs in the country. Goes to show you don’t need Pokies if you have a large active fanbase and Have plenty of corporate sponsors.
I’ve heard on the grapevine there is a very big mining related company keen to be involved. Cummins has said he will pay six figures for cash converters to be main sponsor. Exposure into Sydney and brisbane is something the afl clubs can’t offer at same level
for a Pirates bid I’d stick with black yellow/gold and red. Just have it on different design to dolphins. Or do a dolphins and steal the red white and grey
Very nice, I’d be very happy if that was our colours and kit! Would work for Pirates or Reds.
Thanks. With the Dolphins looking like they won’t really be using black, Perth using mainly black and gold with red just as a trim would work very well
People on the Pirates supporters group facebook page are raving about your design mate!
What about the reds supporters, the jersey has a western reds logo on it
There is no Reds supporters group page anymore as they don't exist. The only reason they are still being mentioned is due to Puddy talking about them.
Fair enough, i thought there was stil one going around, puddy no doubt woud love it too
