lol despite the unwarranted attacks above i will stay out of that.
I just got back from the Coast today, i didn't think it was possible but the amount of Central Coast Bears merchandise has grown further. 90% of the kids had the arm bands on, most people wearing something red and black. There was more red and black then there was mariners colours, which is weird because aren't they in with a chance of making the grand final? You would of sworn it was the Central Coast NRL team that was close to making the grand final.
The Central Coast Bears, are too big to be denied now imho. I spoke to a few of the locals, everybody is confident of getting a team. I thought it would take the this bid 2-3 years of actually playing in the NRL to be accepted as a genuinely Central Coast team, but it has happened two years before they make their debut.
