GCU - The Peoples team
Gold Coast United - The Peoples Team
In todays Gold Coast Bulletin there is a great article on Gold Coast United and their plans for the future of Football not only here on the Gold Coast but in Australia.
CEO Clive Mensink said he aims to turn the Gold Coast side into the ‘peoples’ team and will court the support of the community with several roadshows spruiking the brand.
After the stalled bid of Gold Coast Galaxy and Townsville earlier in the year there are a few cynics out there in the Football world who doubt that Clive Palmer is serious about Football. I believe he is saying the right things and sincerely hope that he follows through on his commitments to the A League and to the Gold Coast.
It is my view that the A League needs more benefactors here in Australia to take clubs into the future of Football. It is the World Game and is the future of Australian Sport. There is no doubt in my mind that Football has all the ingredients to succeed here in Australia as long as we do it methodically and responsibly.
I am a sports fan and do not wish any bad feelings to the Other Football codes here in Australia. I will support my code to the hilt and will support a GCU bid for the A League in 09-10 season.
A Cynic is someone who is prematurely disappointed in the future.
Cheers
