Canberra Kangaroos

[CURVE]

Channel Ten News in Canberra reported last night that The Kangaroos are planning to play upto ten VFL mathches at Manuka Oval next season, and there is even talk of the Murray Kangaroos changing there name to the Canberra Kangaroos. Has anybody down South heard about this, and what are your thoughts???

Haven't heard about this before. Just wondering where the money will come from?

I have heard about this. Apparently the club isn't happy with the treatment they've received up there but have been extremely impressed with everything in Canberra.

This seems a great idea. Just a "gut" feeling

Excellent idea.

I think this is where the future lies - 10 VFL and 4 senior matches a year in Canberra. Last time (ie Port game) there were some stuff ups with the bus and catering but this can/will be fixed.

Forget Sydney - lets play the swanettes back at the MCG or Colonial.

Only one problem... I promised BSA a Beer next time we play Sydney in Melbourne... and I really didn't expect it to happen...

Forget 10 and 4, try 11 and 11 starting either season 2003 or 2004.

This isn't as far fetched as it sounds guys.

Will you be in Canberra for Round 22 RooBoy ?

I'm about 75 % resolved to go to the game, so maybe then huh ?

And of course any Pies people can come along too ?

cheers

I have heard about it but nothing official as yet. It has something to do with the Ovens & Murray not being happy about something or another.

So the MK fly to Albury three times this year and Tasmania and I know the VFL subsidises some of the money, but how can we afford to fly there 10 times next year. It's the Victorian Football League!

The attendance for the VFL is pretty poor so how do they expect to make money.

Personally I think the idea SUCKS. I will be absolutely shattered if they play that many games there next year - it pisses me off BIG TIME just thinking about it.

NOT HAPPY JAN!!
