Raider's jerseys for '07

Also Ralph… don’t know who you asked for your members’ merchandise, but it has been readily available at Jerseys for Work and Play at Cooleman Court for some weeks. Not that the merchandise is really worth having this year…

And the Raiders leagues clubs are not just “licensed” to someone else. It is a small empire of clubs, with the QLC at the centre of the organisation, across the Canberra district and in Brisbane (the association with Souths Logan).

Of course we care! I can’t say I am supportive of the CFMEU being the major sponsor, and I was hugely annoyed at the political protest at half time during a match at Canberra stadium this year. Doesn’t mean I’m going to boycott games etc. How crazy would that be? The Raiders are the only football team in town where the players actually live here and they deserve our support.

Ahh yes I forgot about the Brisbane clubs.

gerass = grass,

The faders have been

The Raiders Club Gunghalin
The Braddon Club (old ACT Leagues Club)
THe Weston Club (old Royals)
The Mawson Club (Old Ambassador Hotel and the old Dutch Club as well)
Queanbeyan Leagues Club (affiliate)
Jindabyne Hotel
there are 2 clubs in Queensland as well and i heard they are looking at one in Perth.

the business side of the Raiders is going OK, don’t confuse the Business and Football they are 2 different operations under the same umbrella, the football club still needs major sponsorship to run the football teams as well as the administrative support and logistics provided with money from their businesses, this also allows the sponsorship of the gerass roots clubs in the area.

If as the sign claims, the Tradies at Dickson is the home of the Raiders, what does that make the Raiders Club at Gungahlin??

Which 7 clubs?

Anyway I hate unions for the fracking PC they try to shove down my throat that would make my pay packet lighter. So,

FRACK YOU RAIDERS!

I will not be going to any of your matches next year and I hope you get that wooden sppon.

Unlike our local politicians, who are obsequious one day, then crap ping on you the next.

I like the Raiders, they are loyal through good times and bad.

Actually, i think the Raiders clubs are just licensed by the Raiders to somebody else, or lots of people (does anybody know for sure?)

So the revenue will be good but not great.

Still, i don’t like my sport and politics this close.
