Blutongue Debacle

Floss, which clown wrote this article??  If it was Dick No-one, honestly....... I may be so angry as to adopt a fine Australian tradition and write a letter to the editor.

Website has only the article, without the front cover headline or the extra little "timeline" summary thing that accompanied the story. However, I did notice on the link above you can post comments...

The timeline bit was funny, basically summarised the history of BT's poor surface into:
- Groundstaff hopeful the surface can recover after it was labelled a "Goat Track" by a Rugby League radio commentator on one occasion
- CCM vs Syd match deferred after wet weather
- Unseasonal weather variations this year have made it difficult for groundstaff to make the transition from winter to summer grass varieties.

... Makes note of one RL radio commentator criticising the surface, but nothing about the 11 matches this regualr season that the FoxSports commentary team have mentioned it on live broadcast, pre-match & post-match shows, FoxSports FC, also on numerous radio programs, magazines and websites (repeatedly)... The real shame should be the bad press this is giving BT, the CC and GCC, and the crowds being turned away.

I remember reading an Advocate issue a couple of weeks ago (we were in the line at Cold Rock, nothing else to read there), and I couldn't help but notice that the same three journo's wrote 98% of the stories in the paper.  I hardly think we're going to get a more sensible viewpoint until such a thing is rectified......

Well the Express is part of the evil empire isnt it?

Murdoch owns the NRL and all his little poodles know to toe the party line and promote a dying game.

One day comrades, one glorious day and ...........................

Parramatta Eels chief executive Denis Fitzgerald criticised the councils decision, which he said wouldnt favour future NRL matches on the Central Coast.

I think it would make, not just us but all NRL teams, wary of dealing with Gosford Council in the future, Fitzgerald said.

Some people may know that in a previous life I was a bit of an EEL fan...BUT....after that ridiculous attempt at a threat, that knob Fitzgerald can go get f**ked, does he really think that the NRL is that almightly, that his pedantic little pissy whinge's / threats are gonna make GCC cower in a corner...NO WONDER HE LOST CONTROL OF HIS OWN BOARD...f'n nitwit

The nrl are not going to stop bring matches here, til it costs them more and they dont make money
