Well I guess they have hit their mark with you.
I feel sorry for their supporters group the Red Army who have been working tirelessly for years. Making merchandise and promoting the bid. They got blindsided by this and it could have been easily avoided. The WARL need to go to great lengths to make things right.
On another note, Pirates was one of our rejected named. Many people were confident that the Gold Coast would be pirates. I even turned up to a NRL trial match at Carrara with a Skull and Cross Bones!
