Boo hoo
The publicity machine for GWCanberra is amazing, they persuaded the idiots in the Blacktown council to spend over $30 million on a stadium that they don't use. Their attendances and profile are still in the ditch, and God help them if the Eels and Panthers were both successful at the same time.
I live in the centre of their so called supporter base, lucky to see a single person in any AFL club attire let alone GWCanberra. They gloss over the real details of their penetration and continue the rhetoric of we will dominate in 20 years. Have to admire their undeniable tenacity in publicity , but it has even less appeal than yawnion in the western suburbs.
I live in Melbourne and rarely does a day go by when I don't see some form of Melbourne Storm support, be it a beanie, shirt, sticker on car, number plate etc.
They are entrenched here now and as the next generations start to get on board the future is bright. Slowly the sporting bigotry of Melbourne is fading away.
Melbourne Rebels on the other hand...I think I'd be lucky to see 2 items a year.
