Please do not make assumptions that I do not support the CC bears bid. I do, however my personal preference is for a legitimate 2nd Brisbane side and Perth. Surely I am allowed that preference.
As I've said before I feel that harping on the past, and I'm not talking the good Bears past, but the 'we got shafted by manly' past does not look good to CC residents eyes. They do not care about old feuds, they want the club that represents them to look forward positively, something that in the main that the bears are doing. How do I know? I am not unfamiliar with the central coast as I have relatives there from both my own and wife's family who have been long term (I'm talking 40 years at Wyong and then Charm Haven) residents of the coast.
Again, good luck with the bid and criticism that will continue to come to it, as, like all things, it is not faultless.
You're allowed opinions and preferences. Definitely. Nothing wrong with that. My problem is people basing their preferences or opinions on bad information. Thats my only concern in that regard.
Also old fueds are nothing more then hyping up to sell out a few game. You have to utilize what you have. Like last year during the finals when Dragons played the Tigers and they showed pre-game clips of Balmain & St.George (2 entites that are gone) to hype up the game. It gets the brain remembering, the blood rushing and the excitement building.
In that same token the CCBEARS are developing a new rivalry with the Knights. So the future is represented as much as the past.
