Let the rivalry begin
Australia’s No.1 Newspaper today is reporting that Melbourne will have a second elite football for the 2010-11 A-League season. And as the article quite rightly points out all it needs now
“is a name, colours, a coach and manager, some players, a ground, a chief executive, staff and a fan base.”
And it’s the final one that may prove the most difficult with the Melbourne Victory well entrenched in the Melbourne market. There has been talk of marketing themselves to the South-Eastern suburbs of Melbourne, but in all honesty I can’t see that working that well. But first things first they must ditch the Melbourne Heart tag and get themselves a decent name and then they can really start looking for fans.
Some may question whether or not Melbourne can handle having two football teams and that the supporter bases may be diluted. In response to that I have the following five words - sporting capital of the world.
So finally, in the word’s of Torrance Shipman, “Bring It On!”
