hi everyone, long time reader first time poster.
i am a perth expat who now lives in melbourne and i thought i should post my thoughts on the feeling of the days announcement that melbourne has won the rights tot he 15th team.
see, back in the day when perth won the right for the 14th team, it was on the back of people power and the fact the timezone fit in well for broadcasting games.
melbourne however is a corporate decision and while good for the bank account has left a sour taste in my mouth.
i think that alot of players from perth may head south for it, perth have been able to get players to sign on the back of being able to get opportunity, however if the same opportunity exsisted only an hours flight from home, would it not look better than the time between perth and syd/bris?
i hope this dicision doesnt leave perth as the laughing stock of the league as it has been the past few seasons with all the money they throw at players and being unable to achieve anything.
i also hope that everyone has an awesome year and that the government fix the craphole of a stadium the force are moving to.
it would also be nice if we could sign some players with actual spirit and desire to play for our club other than having to rely on third party payments to keep even the average footballers in perth.
these things and more are things i hope for!
that and that the perth supporter base continues to grow and flurish and remain independent from organisations that currupt!
