As far as a name for the Gold Coast team goes this is what is happening...
From an email sent out by the Gold Coast bid team.

"We will be running a competition soon to determine what the new name will be. Please submit any name you feel appropriate to that competition which will more than likely be running in the Gold Coast Bulletin."



"We will then take the long list of “possibles and probables” and subject them to a rigorous process including trademark searching and market research to determine what will be the final name."

[grammar nazi]
just a note, the apostrophe is used either to indicate a possessive noun or an abbreviated "is".

That doesn't mean they're not doing something of their own and then picks the winning name from the submission that happens to match a predetermined name suggested by a consulting company.

The Storm's name was picked from a competition in the Herald Sun, won by a teenager called Cameron Duncan (never to be heard from since) but I suspect it was in the works for a while before the competition ran.

But Myself I like the Gold Coast Bears - we already have Burleigh Bears who will be our reserve grade club, plus north sydney owns Seagulls Leagues, It all makes sense :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Gold Coast Boobies?

Can you imagine the cries? CARN you Tits! Sorry to any ladies no offfence intended....

Seriously I read an interview with GC mayor Ron Clarke where the GC council is prepared to foot the bill to either redevelop a current stadium or build a purpose RL ground on the GC if they get the license.

No matter what the Gold Coast do, the Bears will have a cry about it.

not saying gryphon is seppo [its a legend, much like the gc team at the moment]
