“Can we gather up a collection of eight, ten or twelve Wollongong’s to make up a second A-League tier? One doubts it.”
I thought of Barcelona, Roma and Lazio, straight away. All sports clubs. Essendon, Carlton, Collingwood, Swans, WCE, Crows, Canterbury, Broncos, Manly and Parramatta.
Think of a world where your club played both codes. Same colours, same attitude, same atmosphere, same community.
No code against code. But old rivalries redesigned.
Maybe the only thing that would be different on the jerseys would be the head sponsor and league logo.
But that old familiar Bomber, Magpie or Bulldog would still be there. When you have a club membership, it is for all the sports.
You share the same club house, and, in some cases, the same ground.
It’s a nice idea, but it’s never going top happen. I think Essendon and Collingwood could actually pull it off, though!
