Back to topic, Centy how would you feel if NS Handed the bears brand over to a consortium in another city?
So let’s say a perth consortium wanted to partner with NS. The license is owned by perth club and all administration etc is based in perth. Ns still exists and has a development role in Sydney but other than that no control or say in the new club. As a fan would you be ok with that or not? Presuming guarantees were in place re brand and partnership protection
That’s a good question and as I was around during the Northern Eagles debacle I am very cautious which is why I understand your feelings towards the Bears.
I’d like everything to be 50/50, Daniel Dickson has mentioned his non negotiables e.g. ownership, the Bear logo and the colours red and black.
I have to admit that even I cringed when I listened to his message.
I myself think the Bears need to be WA, it’s all or nothing, I understand that they would like one or two games at North Sydney Oval and maybe do that initially but imo teams will hate travelling to Perth.
If there is a Heritige round why not but one game only, teams hated travelling to Perth to play the Reds, and I feel that over time to play Manly at North Sydney Oval will feel like giving up a home game only to give the advantage to Manly as the Perth Bears would have to travel across Australia while Manly only has to cross the Spit Bridge.
I’ve added a recent poll from the Bears fan page the Den.
There are still alot of Bears fans who want the Bears playing out of North Sydney Oval or Central Coast Stadium, ffs that boat sailed many, many years ago.
