    So when the little grub became VFL president he cut all ties to North cabal. Also the role of the late and unlamented Ron Casey deserves a mention. Channell Seven then immensly powerful in the VFL pushed for the Bloods to go to Sydney as part of their ratings strategy. Casey became another unsucessful North leader. North and the Carlton Crims were the main offenders. In those days the VFL were run by a few influential clubs. Aylett never lost his allegiences to North when he ran the VFL. And now he talks about better to die than live on your knees in exile!!! By the way this statement by the little arse clown is an adaption of a quote from Mussolini. Somewhat appropriate
    Perhaps Aylett and Casey were on the grassy knoll as well?

          I know a North supporting family that bought memberships for all of their relatives, despite the fact most of them are members of the teams that they actually support.

          Either you are being silly, don't read your own posts, or you are stupid. I'm not sure which, but I'm sure you will enlighten us.

            Nah, they will merge within Gold Coast within 5 years of the GC coming into the comp.

              Too true. Imagine what it will be like when the season actually starts and we all have something more interesting to comment upon!

                Perhaps you should re-read the quotes before you decide who is stupid.

                What has the number of supporters of North got to do with the relocation/death of SMFC?

                  It was a slippery slope. The powerbrokers of North started the forced relocations of VFL clubs. But apparently not in their back paddock

                    It has got plenty to do with it. The point was that there are more SMFC supporters than North supporters. Therefore, you bringing up the fact that SMFC was forced to relocate is stupid, and only contributes more to the argument that North should also relocate.

                      Don't need to, you just confirmed it.

                      Try reading my post again and yours that I originally responded to. It's not difficult.

                        Just how many more SMFC supporters are there, when the club won't release the figures?

                          Perhaps your club releasing their stats will put paid to who has more paid up supporters. Not sure how that will impact on the inevitable relocation or death of NMFC that you guys seem to think will happen in the next 5 years!

                            Where is your evidence to back up the number of SMFC supporters on this site.

                              Not my area. I never said that it was true, I simply explained the reasoning behind GS14 saying it.
