WA BEARS

[Iamback]

Common sense outcome. Hopefully the team is announced in time to hit the schoolboy carnivals and they can go after some of the top 15 or 16 year olds

Would a good comprise on naming be calling the team Western Reds with the bears as the mascot. Like NSW Blues are the cockroachs.

If only the Western Reds were competing in either NSW or Qld Cup for over the last 27 years.

Bears have been playing right throughout.

I just think they need to make sure the Perth fans feel like it's their club, not Norths. Those fans are the ones who will make the club work.

Talks have escalated between a WA bid consortium and the Bears after the withdrawal of Newtown Jets from the race.
While a partnership is now seen as the most likely outcome, there is not expected to be an official announcement before the bid lodgement deadline on July 31.

Is the deadline still July 31 ? That's pretty close now - we may actually have some news (or at least a progress update) soon.

Is there a leagues club in Perth that the new club will consume/assume, or do they build a new one?

The club will be based in Perth.

No leagues clubs here. They'll have their office in the COE.

I've got to get out more. I've been in Qld for so long now that I just assume a leagues club... wait, to save confusion, let's call it an entertainment venue, was part and parcel for every club.
I didn't know the Storm didn't have one. Are there others?
The Broncos Leagues Club up here is big. TAB, pokies, 2 restaurants, live bands, balcony to watch team train etc etc.

It just shows you that clubs don't depend on them so much these days if they have corporate support or privatisation.
Leagues Clubs doh! Entertainment Clubs were the heart and soul of every team.
Talking about the Bears, I've downed many a schooner at the Nth Sydney League's Club, we used to go there after we played a game on most weekends.....arrrgghh those were the days...memories la la la la.

Meh, Queenslanders seem fine with having Fitzroy and they're a pretty parochial bunch.

It now exists as a means of extracting pokie cash from the rich old lonely people in the area.

They bistro was run by Indonesians for a bit and was pretty good but has returned to being shit.
