The *** Br*mb?es

[woodgers]

No not a typo. Just saw on the news update that the Brumbies have dropped ACT off their badge. What sort of pride do they have. What is next, relocate to the Central Coast?

"One team in Canberra, there's only one team in Canberra"

 

[Raider_69]

my oath woodgers
lets hope the next move is a relocation to perth :!: :!:
f**k the brumbies and Yawion

 

[thickos]

It doesn't surprise me. The players are all blow ins from Sydney and regional NSW with the exception of maybe Matt Giteau.

The 'club' should be proud of its ACT location and it should be reflected in its name. f**k I hate clubs that don't recognise where they come from. You need definition, character and a place to call home. The Brumbies have none of them.

 

[RaidersMalt]

I wonder what the reason behind this is, pretty d1ck move if you ask me.
As there will be a 4th Australian Super 12 team, I bet they will start to play home games in other cities to gauge the level of interest.
If the raiders have any sense they should take full advantage of this, outlining their commitment to Canberra and the region.

 

[hrundi99]

Yeah I was going to say that this could benefit the Raiders. They just have to start performing again.

 

[greeneyed]

They announced their "vision" is to be the best provincial rugby union team in the world.... nothing about the ACT there either..... It is a sure sign that the ARU thinks the Brumbies franchise is transferable to another location.

 

[jed]

Relocate the Brumbies to either Melbourne or the Central Coast, and give the 4th franchise to Perth.

Memo to the Bumblies: Go away - we don't want your sort in Canberra.

What this shows is Yawnion is about 7 years behind League. Didn't Canterbury and Cronulla attempt such things, only to fail dismally? I remember chanting such things as "LG?...LG?....where the f*ck is LG?" in reference to the ground announcer at shark park going on about "The LG Sharks".

Well, aren't we the "Fone Zone Raiders"?

 

[Anonymous]

Apparently. If you believe the CS announcer.

 

[Anonymous]

Wait actually he says 'Fone Zone Canberra Raiders' so it's a bit of both.

Many in my office are Brumbies season ticket holders. I have seen an emailed newsletter which explained the change (btw this is old news as it was reported some 4 weeks ago).

The reason is that Brumbies management recognise that they represent the whole of this region (not jsut the ACT). It is recognition by their management team that a lot of their support base and season ticket holders come from the region around the ACT.

Makes sense to me.

 

[Steven Gerrard]

So let them play their home games in a regional area and stay of the Bruce Stadium Turf!! :evil:

 

[greeneyed]

Let them go and play in Perth.

 

[greeneyed]

Scotland.

 

[raiders_lover_18]

Sorry Missed the News What are they now called???

 

[greeneyed]

They are just called "Brumbies"

 

[raiders_lover_18]

That is extemely weak.. No Pride... No Passion. Not that I care hope they relocate. Oh how I wish for crowds of 20.000+ 8)

 

[Greenblooded]

Personally I couldn't give a rats Arse what they called themselves, Super 12 is about as interesting as watching my toenails grow.

 

[Steven Gerrard]

What's wrong with watchin your toenails grow? I Luv doin that...it's exciting... 8)
