What rubbish.The fact that he was born in Tasi and lives in Sydney means crap. Dosnt change the fact that his a mad kangas surporter, and he has done a hell of a lot for this club. He is a true surporter that will follow the club where ever it goes.
To say that someone is a true supporter because they will follow the club wherever it goes is insulting to all of the people who have loyally followed the NMFC here in Melbourne through all of its days, good, bad or indifferent, but who unlike Ponting do not have the wherewithal to travel to whatever location the club might be playing at in the future.
One of the great joys of this game is to be there at the venue and watch the contest first hand. Watching on TV is a very poor substitute for the first hand spectacle.
One of the major reasons why some board members are in favour of a relocation to the GC is that they too have the financial wherewithal to travel and watch the club live. Relocation for them will provide a solution to their doubtless constant difficulties in coping with the financial pressures, nevertheless it is a soft way out instead of giving all supporters a chance of trying to solve the financial problems.
Watching a relocated club live is not the domain of rank and file supporters who will be disenfranchised by a relocation.
I have no gripe with Ponting, but, please don't put him on a pedestal and call him a true supporter and by impliaction suggest that those who will not follow a relocated club are not true supporters.
