Central coast rejected sea Eagles in early 2000's. Nobody likes them.
When the joint venture became Manly dominated at face value the Central Coast dumped them very quickly, crowds plummeted, the Sea Eagles had no choice but to return to Brookvale.
It was very surprising to myself, as I have many friends and know of many locals who support Manly, but Manly just couldn’t get the crowds.
To be successful all the Northern Eagles had to do was adopt red and black as their colours like Sydney North does for the public school reps which covers the Central Coast, Manly Warringah and North Sydney areas.
Manlys lack of vision destroyed a great opportunity.
