Corporate Sell-Outs?

For the first season since we moved to Australia, I am not a Perth Glory member. Well, actually I was a member for half a game and promptly had the fees refunded. Why?

Well, after several years of putting up with various crap from the A-League Franchise known as Perth Glory, they delivered the final straw by shunting members to a tent behind the family stand, with no view of the game. All because they wanted to squeeze yet another corporate event into the Naven room.

In positive news, the team have started the season well, and for the sake of all players (except Jamie Coyne) I hope they do well. "Sagey" and his clueless management numpties on the other hand – I suggest that they read a bit about football history, immerse themselves in the game a little, even travel to Europe and stand with proper football fans (you can spot them easily, they are the ones NOT stood in the corporate boxes).

Perth Glory is not a football club, in fact it's not really been a club since the start of the A-League. Nothing will change that as long as it's owned and run by people without passion – even if they happen to win silverware.
