"On a damp, grey morning - footy weather, despite the cricket roller in the centre insisting it was summer - at least 1000 fans turned up, many of them an hour before the 9am training session was due to start.

This was the manifestation of the people power that has played such a significant part in convincing the Tigers to take a punt on Australia's most controversial sporting figure.

Already it has provided a tangible return, with hundreds of supporters heading for the membership counter in the merchandise shop under the social club, signing up more than three months in advance.

The stock - you could get anything from a framed guernsey signed by the Team of the Century for $995 to a replica premiership cup for $250 to a wristband for $5 - was walking out the door, as salesmen say.

Usually, on a weekday morning you could count the customers on your fingers - now the four staff were having trouble keeping up."

So they sold some merchandise.

They'll feel better about that when they finish 9th again.

Sorry if adding this to the existing 12 page thread on BC/Richmond/St KIlda wouldnt have got you enough attention

PLEASE..EVERYONE!!!!!

We need to move on from the whole BC thing IMO. Theres one 12 page thread if you feel the need to discuss it further...but trying to get yourself noticed by finding a new "angle" on the subject and starting a new thread will just result on it being locked..as thisone now will be

I reckon the existing players who ARE on our list might warrant some discussion too eh??

Too Stalin-esque for you????...Umm..well..errr..as they say in the classics...deal with it
