They would likely die a faster death on the Gold Coast without the handouts to the level the Suns have received, I reckon, and somehow I couldn't see the AFL propping them up the same way they have stumped up their White Elephant Love Children (GCS and GWS).
Would be an easy way to let them slowly wither on the vine to die.
FWIW I dont agree with any more clubs going to the Wall or being cut, its peoples passion they are playing with.
Being at the MCG the day we wiped the floor with the dead and buried Fitzroy Football Club was a sad and sickening day, and I'm not interested in seeing it happen again to any club. In fact it almost happened to us!!
I remember almost losing this great club in the early 90s giving every cent I could, as did most others.
Can anyone imagine the RFC not existing anymore and being killed off so easily especially after our great recent era and the other spectacular successus that this great club has achieved in the past 10 years, KGI, the connection to Aboriginal Culture, Community Programs, The Houli Foundation, amongst other great community work and programs.
This great club has become a leader not a follower and its power is un matched when at its peak, it has helped to shape and mold club culture positively.
They were gonna throw this great club into the bin for what $3 million back then or whatever it was.
I dont care for North but their fans love their club as much as we love ours, and like all fans they deserve to have their club to support.
I wont advocate for anyone losing their beloved Club.
Disagree Craig.
I'm sick of our club propping up this basket case of a football club. Why is our money (and the other strong clubs) wasted on LOLnorf?
Didn't their management vote to kick us out when we were down in the early 90's?
Yeah Nah....... *smile* "em.
