Tonight, I attended the Football club AGM and it was a really good evening where we inducted Jamie Lyon and Matt Ballin as life members of the football club.
We learned about how the football club is fighting on behalf of the fans and members to keep the 10 games at Brookvale as per the constitution and it was reaffirmed that if the Sea Eagles owners intend to take extra games away from Brookvale, they must get permission from the Football club.
There was encouraging news about Brookvale oval being upgraded, in that Northern Beaches council is unanimously behind the proposal to upgrade the stadium, confirming the federal government funding and possible funding from the state government.
Unfortunately, there is still a division between the Football Club and the Sea Eagles owners and there is genuine regret that there is not unity.
There is still no news about the salary cup investigation and any potential penalties.
We discussed the Mitchell Pearce decision and the consensus was the club will be ok moving forward.
It was great to chat to Matty B after the meeting ended and he genuinely loves the club and misses the place. We have a chuckle about his face massage on Choc Whatmough when we played Parra at their stadium and he laughed about that and how he and Choc had a good laugh about it later, my thoughts were that you did to him what every Manly fan wanted to do at the time, lol!!
Jamie Lyon was not able to attend and his award was accepted by Beaver and it was so good to see how much a family the club is. We now have Alan Thompson on the board and he was a hero of the 70s and 80s.
The football club remains an independent body and separate from the Sea Eagles and will always be there to protect our brand, our colour and our home.
Being a member is a great opportunity to have your say, induct legends and feel a part of a history that is the fabric of our club.
There was lots of optimism about the clubs future and the Holden cup team were rightly feted by everyone for their outstanding efforts and the efforts of Trent Barrett and the first grade team in making the finals was acknowledged.
I recommend joining the Football club for a sum of $25 per year, it is well worth it!!
