North Melbourne rejected the hundred million reasons offered by the AFL to move to the Gold Coast, pulled out of their deal to play matches at Carrara, and now want to return to Canberra.
North Melbourne (then the Kangaroos) took the ACT government’s money to play matches at Manuka from 1998 to 2006 and then decided the $100 bills are greener on the Gold Coast.
Now they have gone back, cap in hand, to the ACT to bail them out again by playing games back at Manuka Oval.
The message from me is, “Thanks, but no thanks!”
The club destroyed all the goodwill generated by years of community involvement and the promotional activity by the Kangaroos in Canberra has been flushed away by the club’s decision to pimp itself out to the highest available bidder.
There are other teams who bring their games here now. So why would North Melbourne expect to waltz back in to Canberra and take over again.
