18th club, whose next?

[warriors 95]

They own seven other licensed premises including another leagues club in near the Gold Coast

All 7 are leagues clubs?

The Sydney clubs wouldn’t support a central coast team even though is a good idea in theory

Maybe $20 million could change their minds?

Not sure but they are cashed up

Central coast bears is a much better idea than Perth bears

But Perth is the next team in and the bears don’t want to wait another 20 years and central coast don’t get a team

The deal is almost done anyway for Perth bears

You'd be surprised, not all the clubs are against that idea, maybe only the knights and Roosters, proximity wise...
it's mainly the Arlc that wont look at it, purely coz theres already 10 nsw clubs, and no new market really, but in terms of an opposition, the clubs would love it, closer than perth, png or chch

It's all history now but had there not been those stadium delays to the building of the new central coast stadium the Bears would probably be celebrating 25 years playing on the central coast by now.

Yep bears got ripped off originally they were promised a license

Then merged with manly who shafted them again

I’m so happy they are coming back in

This.

Had a soft spot for the bears before the warriors came in for 1995.

Great club, great history and great brand.

 

[warriors 95]

Talk about a great location.

Such a shame that the stadium is so boxed in and has little room for expansion as getting it up to 25k would be awesome and could see more regular season NRL games taken there.

Leagues club close by
Train line from Sydney close by so loads of fans can travel up
Lots of juniors

Built for around 25 million bucks too lol

Think the bears chipped in some cash for the construction

Who'd have thought there could potentially be a Perth bears and PNG NRL clubs?

Anything is possible.

It's enough as is, coz there's barely any content going there, manly seriously need to take 2-4 games there (vKnights, vRoosters,etc) save the brookie matches for out of town teams

Central coast, is as important as Wollongong, it just needs a part time Tennant, hence a team like manly can service it

Was interested to hear Ben Ikin say on SEN QLD yesterday that there is a bid from Central QLD …

Capras?

 

[BuffaloRules]

Capras?

He didn’t provide any further details unfortunately…. rest of the interview was mainly pushing the Western Corridor Bid…

 

[Nuke]

Probably wouldn't have been allowed to say any more than he did due to the NDA's in place.

 

[Bukowski]

Will Norths be smart and look at partnering with one of the other bids? Perth looks shot and its not like they've wasted any money on the Perth bid.

 

[Pippen94]

NRL will run Perth with support from wa government & bears. Will attract investment from western Australia. Will be great success.

Haven’t they done this already in some capacity with all of the bids?
