Ahh the Sweet Football Association, famous the vast oceans of reprobates kicking around an oblong shaped piece of leather through a set of four white aluminium rods at either end of an oval area of grass all the while big-noting at every opportunity about the calibre of trash-talking they produce in the direction of their counterparts. Such is the world of Qooty, the number one sport in the City of Sweet. But did you know there are other things that exist in the capital of Hindealla that is not Qooty?
This week we will be exploring so much heritage that we will look into the heritage of the places that even pre-existed league heritage. Back in the day when Mobbs was sitting in a bar in Old Town, Sweet West at the youthful age of 60 fiddling with some QB64 code on his IBM 5100 while drinking with a couple of mates. What we know as the Municipality of Sweet was a peaceful quiet town. How it become what we know of it today?
Let us go, you and I around this block of minecraft land to delve into the history of Sweet.
History & Backstory
Today Dragon Island is now a quaint island town located near to the peninsula that backs Abu Ghraib, not far by ferry from Alberton and Punt. Where there were mangroves there are now leafy streets, and of course a footy ground. Where once escaped convicts hid in the foliage, now the sons of the New Sweet Order strut past the nods of the townsfolk. The population has grown steadily over the years to the point now where the island has become a popular tourist destination and travellers from all over Sweet gather to watch the breathtaking view of the sun setting on the Sweet sea.
Now it's time for us to head back to the mainland over to Abu Ghraib home of the Baghdad Bombers.
We are back on the mainland after the brief visit to Beldribilin and we have landed at the Southern Bay district of Abu Ghraib, the home of the Baghdad Bombers. Once a prosperous town that was the centre for foreign trade the district descended into chaos due to disastrous Sweet prohibition laws introduced in the 1940s that banned the production and distribution of alcohol. This led to the rise of gangs who would establish an in-demand black market with big crime syndicates establishing breweries on small islands off the coast and shipping it in through Abu Ghraib late at night. The area being the base of two big organised crime families; the Ladson family from the North-side and the Phillips family from the South-side competing for the profits of bootlegging.
Naturally, it destabilised the suburb and created decade long gang wars making Abu Ghraib one of the most dangerous areas in Sweet throughout this period. The conflicts came to a head in the infamous ‘Star Wars’ incident late in 1951 where the eldest son of the Ladson boss, Harry Ladson flew a helicopter above Cape Kadaveraal one late night with the hope of ambushing the Phillips as they unloaded the nightly shipments. When the boat arrived with the barrels of alcohol Ladson open fired at a group of a dozen Phillips gang members who shot back upon realising. Although Ladson killed 10 out of the 12 Phillips members, his helicopter took numerous bullets to the engine making him lose control of the chopper and it crashed into a nearby estate by Sweet’s south coast killing a family of 5. The death of innocent bystanders in this incident made national news as the Hindeallan state authorities moved to engage a crackdown in law enforcement of Abu Ghraib proposing to build the largest penitentiary in Sweet City, the Abu Ghraib Correctional Facility also known as Abdu Prison.
The massively failed prohibition laws ended in 1952, reducing the violent gang warfare in the region although tensions between the North-side and South-side would remain lingering for decades. By the time the Sweet FA was formed the suburb had settled down enough to host Qooty games; firstly, for the Bigfooty Bombers at the Windy Hill reserve. However, in more recent due to increasingly prevalent drug use from the youth of Sweet, the behaviour of people in the area became more volatile and rifer with juvenile delinquency so the leaders of the Bombers sought a venue with greater security. With a lack of access to adequate funding to build a fortified venue, the Bombers cut a deal with the council to host games inside the City’s correctional facility in return for spending weekly acting as role models for the troubled youth of Sweet. However, the future of Abu Ghraib is showing brighter signs with recent urban renewal and infrastructure investment seeing the construction of new estates where Windy Hill previously was. The state government even based its space exploration project here in Cape Kadaveraal recently.
Next up we head on over to Docklands, current home of Van Cortlandt Park hosting the Coney Island Warriors.
