Gold Coast United FC

He wanted out because he realised that this investment.

He got tired of the investment quickly in Gold Coast United.

And he was, it became a circus.

It was a complete circus.

wild time that was.

It was a wild time.

Gold Coast United.

And Clive's obviously got history since with other things he's done.

So

when I went to Gold Coast United, Clive Palmer was the owner and that's when I was like, you know what? I'm going to start formal education now.

Yes.

Because I

Turkey finishes.

Where does Big Bruce go from there?

I went to Gold Coast United.

So back to Australia.

Ever? But I've heard about its reputation.

I went to two Gold Coast United games, not for those reasons.

And both times I was there, they were both against Wellington and there were 400 people.

Oh,

Yeah, I just wanted to comment on the FFA and the stubbornness to allow teams like South Melbourne any opportunity to join.

I mean, clearly there needs to be a relegation system for But I mean, it's pretty clear that to me, Melbourne City, Melbourne Heart, Western United, Gold Coast United, North Queensland Fury, these clubs have all clearly got far less fans than South Melbourne has.

So I just can't understand why the A-League is so stubborn that they're not going to allow any of these teams that clearly have more fans than these manufactured teams like Melbourne City and Melbourne Heart and Western United.

To me, they had a dream that they'd have one team in Melbourne or two teams in Melbourne and manufactured teams and the South Melbourne, Melbourne Knights fans would all jump aboard.

So I, um, I, the criteria for me is quite loose because we've had tight criteria in the past, and teams have abided by that, and they've been chosen, and they've been selected, and they've been a disaster.

So Gold Coast United was another one in there that we look back at, North Queensland, Fury.

So I would ideally like if, if a club can prove that it's sustainable and can add something to the league and, and, you know, can bring color and bring atmosphere and bring more games, then I'm all for it, whether that's South Melbourne or anyone else established.

Well, as mentioned, the A-League does begin this week, Friday night.
