Okay, for the record: I want to see the Central Coast get a team and I honestly hope the Bears can be resurrected there in the near future.
I have sometimes very heated debates with a friend of mine, a Gosford-based union/A-League fan who HATES rugby league. He takes great pride in ribbing me and telling me the Storm will die in the arse as will league in Melbourne as "nobody cares".
I say the same thing about the mariners.
Now, I beleive all code can co-exist even though I may despise the like of union and AFL. I like soccer but don't bother my arse with the mickey mouse A-League.
However; my retort to him is that if the Bears hadn't been shafted by Manly and the NRL by going into the failed Northern Eagles venture and had gone to Gosford as a stand alone club, soccer wouldn't get a look in on the Central COast as it is a rugby leage heartland.
He claims that nobody cares about league in Gosford and are more passionate about the Mariners than any other code the CC could host.
My question: is he right? Does Gosford/Central Coast care about our game.
Comments welcome. Help me prove him wrong
