2 bids.
One bid, the Gold Coast have:
1. No name;
2. No stadium;
3. Need $50 million!
4. No decison on a location for a potential stadium!;
5. Enough money for 1 year only;
6. AFL dominated demographics.
PLUS average crowds, when in the NRL, of around 7,000 per game!
CC Bears:
1. World class stadium;
2. Connection to 1908 establsihment club;
3. Brings CC and Norths shore back to rugby league;
4. Huge junior base from both areas;
5. Funding for long term (not just 1 year!)
6. Huge crowd support at Gosford and at away games.
7. genuine threat from soccer with A team in gosford.
The GC bid is not even close.
But, what is very suspicious is this huge NRL and News limited push for the Gold Coast whilst not even referring to the far superior bid.
For the Bears, the superleague war continues. But this fraud must stop!
1. Gee a name is going to stop a club plaing football, Rugby League was played by clubs without nicknames for years, they will have one before they enter the comp
2. Carrara - I seem to remember that your stadium is one of the major reasons why you arent in the comp anymore
3. The money will come
4. Awaiting a decision, decisions are made and result in outcomes
5. More money then most NRL clubs
6. AFL dominated my arse, when was the last time you lived on the Gold Coast d*&khead? We need a team here to stop any threat of AFL domination
Population has doubled since last NRL team, averaging well over 15,000 for trials held here...
All the bears have is a stadium, a smaller junior base then GC, A smaller city, cant fill stadiums for Rep games or NRL games held there, Soccer is no threat, your club can live in the past of its 1908 heritage and empty trophy cabinet. GC will be here to stay!
Dr do you actually live on the CC? Will you attend any games? Unlike many of the GC backers on this forum who will actively support a local team?
