Alphabet Man Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 that was the 1980'also there was talk in the 1980's that the Saints could share the SCG with the swans absolute bull twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr79 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 An AFL team based on the Gold Coast would be a disaster. They've never supported sports on the Gold Coast. AFL failed once before (original Bears home), basketball failed (twice), the rugby league team went bankrupt at least twice.There are a lot more people there now but most are relocated from Brisbane and they take their loyalties with them. I just can't see a Gold Coast team competing in any sport where there is a successful team in Brisbane. It would take a very patient AFL and 15 other clubs to support a team for up to 10 years like they have with the Swans to even get a foothold on the Coast.

Alphabet Man Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 if Sydney got to the G-F that'd be a great buzz for the city..... which may just be enough to stay in Sydney (even more so than their appearance in the 1996 G-F)Brions winning 3 in a row did a lot for footy in Queensland now if Sydney won one that'd be great for Sydney... twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalieboy82 Posted December 10, 2004 Author Share Posted December 10, 2004 the grand final will NEVER be outside of Victoria. they would have to add one team if there is a merger to keep it even. so long and thanks for all the fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphabet Man Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 if it was really to be played at the Home of Football it would be played at the Albert Ground in Melbourne instead of the MCGa few years ago there was talk that they would move a G-F to Sydney....i'm glad they said no in the end twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalieboy82 Posted December 10, 2004 Author Share Posted December 10, 2004 what is Albert Ground? how many does it fit. so long and thanks for all the fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphabet Man Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Albert Ground is in Albert Park in Melbourne, it is where the first Footy match was played, it is just a small suburban oval that i think only hosts Premier Cricket.....it is a training base for Teenis players at the Australian Open, i don't think it'll seat many people but i'm sure there is a lot of standing room on the outerthe only times i have been past it was when the Australian Open is on and they had the signs all over it twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plattopus Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Yep I always thought the first footy game was played at Yarra Park (now the MCG car-park).But anyway, regardless of where the first game was played, the G is still the HOME of football.

There was a merger jumper made up in 1989, when Fitzroy were going to merge with Footscray.It looked like this:There were no merger jumpers designed other than this one.
