Curtain To Go Up On Big Time
Filed Under Shower Curtain | Posted on December 26, 2008
THE young players of the fledgling Gold Coast Football Club will experience big-game atmosphere as early as next year.
They will host the Gippsland Power at Gold Coast Stadium on May 9, ahead of the Carlton-Fremantle clash.
And on May 30 the Coasters will play the Oakleigh Chargers, before St Kilda and Melbourne take centre stage.
Gold Coast Football Club chief operating officer Scott Munn said the club was hoping for a big turn-up at both matches as the young club will reap the rewards.
The Coast will have five away trips next season, including matches in NSW and Tasmania, along with the usual ventures to Melbourne.
With such a young team that will one day make up the side that enters the AFL in 2011, Munn said it was important to give the players a feel for interstate travel.
“With the draw we just wanted to get the players assimilated into travel,” he said.
“We play four or five games interstate one of them is in Sydney and we play a game in Tasmania.
“We will just be getting the boys ready, and next year for us is about building the squad and getting them ready for the following year. The actual results in the TAC Cup are not that important.”
