    The balloon talk has me intrigued. I may have 10 buttocks ready for seats there! Well, maybe 9, as one associate is a bit half-arsed.

    Ummm.... The first paragraph of this article is lost of me beyond the 'desparate attempt to say something sensatonal at all costs' school of journalism.

    If Western Force players are unhappy with coach John Mitchell - as has been suggested in some quarters - their mood will not have been improved with the news their pre-season will include a clash with seven-time Super 14 champions Crusaders.
    The rest of the article is about Sharpie saying it'll be a good test at the start of the season and the other usual platitudes.

    but i love the subtle hint sharpie dropped

    Nathan Sharpe says the Force fans like the Members Equity Stadium experience.
    how awesome WILL it be to beat them at MES... one way to boost your self-image

    A kick in this game is like a rather nasty alcoholic shooter, only as good as it's chaser...

    Yep.. I enjoyed them calling MES a 'fortress' too. Be great to sell it out and see what the 'sea of blue' is like in one great mass, right next to the pitch!

    As a Force fan living in Melbourne, I have to say I am a LITTLE bit upset, but very happy that you guys back home will get to see a 'Sader Force match at MES- I have been to the last 3(?) at Olympic Park and they have been fantastic, although rather more Crusaders fans here than Force as you might imagine being the drop off point for those crossing the pond...

    Anyway, make the most of it everyone!! If it sells out, that'll be great ammo for the redeveloping MES debate

    Chance to do a trip over to our side this time then TommyM!

    That article is so rubbish - haven't we always had a pre season game against the Crusaders - why would this year be such an issue!!
