GWS has not even played a game yet, hell they don't even have a proper name yet, but team management has made the decison to play three (3) home games a season in Canberra for the next ten (10) years.
For me a team and a sport that is trying to find place for itself in the western suburbs of Sydney should be playing all its home games in the western suburbs of Sydney. Not taking three or two or even one game outside the territory it wants to develop.
For me thats sending the wrong signals to potential fans here in Sydney. As a league fan I have always thought highly of the people running the AFL. But after this decision I may have to change my mind.
I suppose though, just in case GWS fails in Sydney then they can transfer the team down the Hume Hwy to Canberra.
