ahh yes, not being a bears fan i wouldn't know that.

:lol::lol::lol:

Maybe you should move this thread to the 'NSWRL Competitions' section because the Bear's aren't relevant to the NRL now and still won't be in 2013.

That's a real original sledge that one, must've taken you a while to think it up.

Just a question, I heard on the radio yesterday that the Central Coast Bears want to play 4 games a year at North Sydney Oval, is this true? If I lived on the Central Coast I would want the team to play all the games at Gosford, maybe 1 a year as a back to North Sydney Oval day. Personally I think Perth sould be the next side in, large city, new time slot, capital city market and booming economy. If they bring in a second side at the same time it would probabaly be between Central Coast and Brisbane both have adavantages and disadvantages.

That's not true. It's always been one game at nso during the season and another game during preseason. Ray Hadley has been using false information to undermine our bid for awhile now.

Thanks for setting my straight, can't stand that idiot but I was on the way to the Tigers match and hoping for update on Tigers injuries when I heard the stuff about the Bears.

Looking more like the CC Sharkies ATM!

Thankfully that can't/won't happen! Hope the Sharkies can survive somehow/somewhere to keep the brand alive.

CC Bears now have 65 Foundation Members @ $5,000 a pop, well on the way to their goal of 100.

Good stuff.

The only great news to come out of this bid will be when Bears supporters finally accept that they will get a franchise only when a Sydney team folds or merges. NSW does not need an 11th NRL team.

It's actually over 75 now, the info used for that piece was out of date!

 

[Jason Maher]

You're continual deathriding of the Bears bid says more about you than it does about the Bears or their fans...

edit: obviously directed at bobmar28 (the 28 obviously refers to his IQ - see, I can do childish insults too!)

David Gallop and anyone that can read a map understands that the Central Coast is not part of Sydney. They and the north shore of Sydney are considered a separate market due to:
- no train connections within 2 hrs to any NRL ground in Sydney from CC.
- Bears supporters in general have not switched to other NRL teams, instead they watch Swans or Waratahs, hence the return of the Bears will stiumulate interest in northern Sydney as many come back to the fold.

Therefore, NSW does need another team because this will will be self-sustaining and increase crowds at Sydney venues...unlike all other bidders.

More great news for the Bears with a State Coalition victory, meaning we now have CC Bear supporting MP's & councils in every local, state & Federal electorate from Milsons Point to Lake Munmorah.

This ensures the $3.5 m in funding for the new offices/training facilities. The victory in Gosford was especially significant for our chances. Chris Holstein is a HUGE supporter (both literally and figuratively)!

Gosford Council backs Bears with $5000 to become foundation member

• Council

27 Mar 11 @ 01:06am by CATHY STUBBS

GOSFORD Council has agreed to pay more than $5000 to become a foundation member of the Central Coast Bears.


The council voted unanimously at its meeting on Tuesday night in favour of becoming one of only 100 foundation members backing the Bears bid for inclusion in the 2013 National Rugby League competition.
Mayor Laurie Maher spoke in favour of membership even though the money was not refundable if the 2013 bid failed.


“If this new football team gets up and follows the Mariners in terms of community involvement, it would be a fantastic thing for the Central Coast,” Cr Maher said.


A mayoral minute tabled at the meeting said Central Coast Bears Business Advisory Group had already secured 65 other foundation memberships, and had 5500 paid-up members.


It said the group considered council support a crucial part of its submission to the NRL.


“The success of the Central Coast Mariners in promoting and marketing the coast through sport both nationally and internationally is acknowledged,” the minute said.


“It is expected the Central Coast Bears would provide a similar opportunity to promote and market the Central Coast.”

we played the CC Sg Ball side yesterday and I was a bit confused why they are called Centurions and had Newcastle Knights logos on their jerseys? How come they aren't linked to the CC Bears?
