Las Vegas Bears​		Dragons FFC

Founding Story

The Las Vegas Fantasy Football Club was founded ahead of the season 04 season, but did not play a Sweet Football Association level match until season 05 after spending an initial season in the District Football League. The Bears only lasted until the end of season 07 before heading into a 10 season break, successfully returning to the league in season 18. They spent their first couple of seasons playing out of Nou Camp before knocking it down and building The Stadium in the Sky.

The Southern Sharks and Dragons were two separate Fantasy Football entities in season 07 before being merged to create the Southern Dragons for season 08. The decision was made to drop the ‘Southern’ moniker in Season 17 and beyond as the club became Dragons FFC. The Dragons have played at ljp’s lair on Dragon’s island for their entire merged history.

Pie 4 Life stinks.

Most pies do smell.

I wonder if it's beef, chicken or maybe lamb pie?

Welcome to the match thread, Bears. Heritage Round has arrived, so brace yourselves for a week of reminiscing over all that ancient history that nobody quite remembers, but we’re all supposed to celebrate anyway.

This week, we're actually playing at home, yes, our real home ground, not some mystery stadium across the globe. Fresh off a win last week, we're right in the mix, and with another victory, we could be on our way to sneaking into that top eight. Let’s channel the spirit of our Season 22 premiership team, the Bears who took down the Dragons in that unforgettable grand final. It’s time to honour their legacy and keep our finals hopes alive.

Grab a drink, get comfortable, and let’s enjoy a good old fashioned Heritage Round right here in Vegas.

Speaking of International, if Trump loses overnight, whats the chance Bigfooty crashes ?

With our home form this season, selling our game to South Africa has been the best call we’ve made this season. I fully expect us to get back on track this week and drop yet another home game.

Probably crash before then TBH

You underestimate our ability to lose catastrophically following a much needed win.
