I hate synthetic Pitches. I don’t see the appeal apart from not being rained out.

Nice start. When is the major announcement?

 

[pjennings]

IF elected…

Now is the time to get a similar commitment from the LNP

That’s…not what I was expecting

Can anyone confirm if this is actually the 'big announcement'?

Potential funding to support the community if an opposition government is elected hardly seems like something a commentator would be dropping.

 

[Charlie1]

Yes it’s good news if it happens but I wouldn’t call it a major announcement. A major announcement to me is something that is actually going to happen or has happened.

yes

Which is why the LNP really have to match it or surpass. That way whoever wins the club wins.

That’s pretty long odds for a sitting government with a pretty low profile opposition.

The opposition leader may not even retain his seat with the cashless gaming card opposition he now has. I find the announcement pretty underwhelming to be honest. Would have preferred Harper not to have mentioned it and got me excited.

Does that matter. It is the commitment from the favourite party for the next election to putting $3.7million into our region - specifically football in our region.

A player or coaching announcement would have been unsettling (bringing in an available major player - given no major Australian player is available) and would have been both disappointing and underwhelming. What sort of announcement were you expecting that you would think was not pretty underwhelming?

It’s positive but didn’t need Harper hyping something.

Underwhelming does not mean I don’t think it’s positive. Other than some kind of political influence why did it have to be mentioned during last nights game? New sponsors, affiliation with NU, the list goes on for what would be better than an opposition party promise.

New sponsors would not be bring in $3.7m to football in our region. And our affiliations with OS clubs like Sheffield United, Everton and even with what is probably our forerunner Northern Spirit with Rangers have always delivered underwhelming results
