Sorry couldn't be bothered going back a couple of pages to find the beginning of this topic again.
Just in relation to your comments about the Bears v Bris Lions in ACN terms.
They have the same ACN, they are the same company with an ammendment to the constitution/articles for the name change and change to the structure of the board (ie add the number of members with relation to vic representation)
I have here a letter on Bears letterhead from 10 July 1996, a copy of the 1995 Bears Annual Report, and a letter dated 27 September 2000 from the Bris Lions on the Lions letterhead. Each of them display the exact same ACN.
There AISC registration is currently "Brisbane Bears-Fitzroy Football Club Ltd Trading as Brisbane Lions Australian Football Club"
There are possibly other Brisbane Bears ACN's listed, these would be prior to 12th Dec 1991 when the current articles of association were prepared. More than likely can be attributed to the Cronin/Skase days.
There is however also an AISC registered company/corporation known as The Brisbane Lioins FC pty ltd.
This has nothing to do with the AFL.
There was an almost bitch fight late 1996 early 1997 over this.
That company/corporation is registered to a long standing Brisbane Soccer Club based in the western suburbs of Brisbane.
The BBFFCltd actually paid something in the area of $1M to that said club, in a settlement. This settlement basically allowed us to call our selves the Lions as a trading name, but not as a registered company name, and can be viewed as compensation/negotiation fee/purchase of rights or whatever.
But the Entity known as and registered as the Brisbane Bears, by it's ACN, in December 1991, is still in operation, but with a name change and board structure change as per the ammendments to the club constitution/article of association as per the merger agreement. This too me would suggest too that the AFL operating license is the same one with ammendments, rather than a completely new one from 1997 onwards.
