I reckon that a lot of the inaugural GC membership will be made up of the likes of me, ie someone who has a club, has had a club for many, many years, and really has no intention of abandoning that club, but has also been involved with local footy on the GC for years and spent a lot of time on the train to and from Brisbane to the Gabba, and can't wait for the AFL to return back here, this time in a manner not designed to alienate the majority of the population of the Gold Coast.
We have put up with the Titans getting all the publicity (and maybe even gone and watched a game, to our shame ) but want we really want to see is footy back in the spotlight and on top of the heap as the number one game in town where it rightfully belongs, and as such we will be backing the team to the hilt.
However, whenever our own teams come to visit, we will unfortunately be forced to hate the Gold Coast like every other club. Oh well, such is life.
I think us 'second teamers' will be an interesting membership (and hence 'supporter') bloc for the new team to deal with, and we may even be a little bit unique. Who knows?
