Dear Clive, once again you have proved you have little or no respect for active support at Gold
Coast United home games.
3-0 Loss and I am Excited
My issue is with you and your grandiose statements to the press 3 years ago and ever since. I
jumped on board largely on the back of what you said in the media 3 years ago. Your vision for the
A-League and Football on the Gold Coast, here are some quotes from the news back then by yourself
and CEO Mensink.
I suspect the main reason is I have to develop my "tribal" following of a Football Franchise placed
on the Gold Coast by a Billionaire without any organic growth. I had to get into it straight away
with a bunch of people I had never met. These people are great and I will gladly go to the games
with them, but there is definitely something missing in my Football experience here on the Gold
Coast.
This is a question that a lot of A League supporters around the country hope the answer is a
resounding NO.
Gold Coast United won the A-League Youth title for a second time in a row on the weekend, with two
Canberrans Andrew Baresic and Stephen Lustica securing the victory over the AIS.
And if you were wondering how to get your club to win a Youth Title the answer is simple.
Sign a Canberran.
My last blog caused some reaction from within the Gold Coast United community and some from
elsewhere on Twitter. I have been accused of being "overly defensive", "having complexes about
other codes", "a child with a three word vocabulary" and "providing no evidence".
I have not always seen eye to eye with Clive Palmer and his decisions at Gold Coast United. I still
have reservations as to his ultimate motivations for the future of the club.
