At last night's Leagues Club AGM there was a vote which got up that paved the way for the development in Waverley (over furious objection) - subject to council and court approval. That development is no Sharks pie in the sky bullshit. It will secure our future for generations. It's a beauty...it’ll be interesting to see

Nearly all the people that are arguing against it don't go there anyway. I know a few people that threw themselves into the anti redevelopment campaign but hadn't been there in the last 12 months.
On the relocation thing, the Roosters would still be my team but my passion for the game would be severely dented.The Internet is a place for posting silly things
Try and be serious and you will look stupid

It's not about where you live but where the team lives is different. My family were from Paddo - 50 Glenmore Road - amd the barn door is still there. Have a photo of dad on a horse in there dated around 1900. I'm an old codger and dad was abut as old when I was born. He would regale me with stories of Dally M, Harry Caples etcthrough to Andy Norval. And he did that because as soon as he read out the names of the teams in the competition I immediately picked Easts. I got plenty of Harold Horder and Frank Burge too of the old man.
My point here is that by then we were living around Punchbowl as they'd moved in the 20's for the rural life. So it's where your heart is.
I wasn't ES born but I was there most weekends at the old Sports Ground or SCG, or wherever the tricolours were playing. So there is an identification with the area that produced so many of thise stars. Roosters is in my DNA now but a relocation to Perth or wherever would not be my choice. Not that the Roosters wouldn't still be my team but it wouldn't be quite the same. Well I can't be sure but I'd have to wait and see, I doubt there is one fan on here who would favour relocation.

You look at the last 110 years, at the change in the demographics of the eastern suburbs, the stealing of our juniors, the 'over-crowding' in the comp by teams from Sydney etc. and you'd have to say our survival was never guaranteed and is a bit of a miracle. Not just our survival, but our success. How important is smart leadership?!
No reason we can't do it for another 110 years out of the east. It would seem that Nick has set the club up to be financially sound for years to come. And why would a move to Adelaide or Perth, say, guarantee our survival? Teams there didn't work last time.
That said, Nick's not going to be around for ever and maybe things change when he's gone. Just saying. If it were a choice between no Roosters and the Roosters as, say, a second Brisbane team, I'd choose the East Brisbane Roosters. With away games, you'd still be able to see them play half a dozen times in Sydney every season.

Geez there are some soft coqs on here. I've followed the Chooks for 45 years, most of them nowhere near Moore Park. Harden up.

I saw Reynolds crying in front of me after the game and yelled out 'WHAT ARE YOU CRYING ABOUT?!?!? GO SAY SORRY TO COOPER YOU GRUB!!!' He looked up at me with a pretty broken looking face.
