Black and Gold Jetty Rd

[Booney]

Glenelg Council Chambers meeting -

Mayor- "Right, with the boys being in the footy finals this year......"

Councellor interupts - "Love my Brighton boys!"

Mayor - "No, Glenelg you ponce. Anyway, I was thinking we should get the local community right behind the boys...."

Interupts again - "Now that rumour, Im sick of it, been going around since Gibbsy was playing"

Mayor - " I mean support the boys in the finals. I was thinking we could decorate Jetty Road in something black and yellow during the finals"

"You mean Grand Final week?"

Mayor - "No, I was thinking we should do it for a game we have a chance of winning......"

Why Black and Gold? Their song says Yellow and Black.

I have always thought that their song is wrong in that regard. As long as I can remember Glenelg wore black and Gold as distinct from Richmond's Black and Yellow.

Similarly Torrens were blue and gold not blue and yellow.

[Dutchy]

Glenelg's official colours are Black and Gold, always have been and always will. Richmond are Yellow and Black.

For some reason we have taken on their song, however a Tiger for Me gets a run on Snout Hill regularly.

This subject gets plenty of debate on the Snouts site.

Taken you two days to think of that, mate??

The real humour in Booney's joke is the implication that the council would do anything proactive for the GFC...

[85 WAS A GOOD YEAR]

The Holdfast Counsellors are more likely to be organising a petition from local residents regarding potential "noise volume violations" from patrons socialising around the Glenelg FC clubrooms / oval

I STILL WANT THEM to get rid of those north adelaide trees....anyone know how to download photos that will be down jetty road in the near future ?

Spent probably 48 hours non-stop. Geez I'm tired.

Was down at Jetty Road tonight and was surprised to see all the street trees decked out in...

...RED AND WHITE!

Copy-and-pasted from SL.org:


I had heard that the club had called upon the Jetty Rd traders to deck the place out in Black and Gold. Today I took the kids for a stroll down the northern side of Jetty Rd from the Bay Junction to Dymocks while their mum did the shopping. Only a handful of traders appear to have embraced the concept:

- Phil Hoffman travel, lots of black and gold and Tigers logos everywhere.
- Bank SA, a "GO TIGERS" display in the window.
- that healthy-wrap take-away place on the corner of Nile St had a signed Tigers guernsey up on the wall; don't know if it was specifically there for the finals or is always there.
- The Ivy Room boutique had a whole bunch of black and gold themed fashion and accessories in their window with a few logos
- the florist on the corner of Partridge St had a home-made football fashioned out of some brown organic matter with a black and white photocopy of the Tigers logo stuck to it. Truly surreal.

There may be other traders getting into the spirit, but it ain't obvious. More concerning is the fact that the trees are dressed up in red and white spotty fabric.

I remember the good old days when every other shop in Marion would be decked out in black and gold leading up to the Grand Final. It seems those days are long gone.

Sad that the kids of today wont get that experience, particularly during Grand Final week, where entire suburbs were decked out in the colours of their local footy teams.

I remember during mid & late 80's both Glenelg & Marion Medicare Offices were decked out with streamers and balloons, with the staff wearing guernseys loaned to them from Glenelg's Sportslover store.

No way known would any red & white have been seen on Jetty Rd back then

Ahhhh those were the days.

[Barto]

I used to love that when you'd go to a particular area where one of the clubs was based and it'd be decked out in the team colours, sadly it seems to have gone by the wayside over the years.

I think the problem is that there'd be many traders who don't follow the Bays or some who dont even like football. The days where you lived in the area and barracked for the local club are long gone.

Fair go - if they waited until a game in which the Bays were dead certs, we wouldn't see any colour on Jetty Rd until the Bays play at Alberton next year...

[Mr Irate]

Bleak & Rolled ?

[whufc]

Glenelg kept under the radar all year, kept things very low key and then the council go and deck out the Bay

[mighty_tiger_79]

the same council that have members who dont want us to have lights

[Rik E Boy]

The streamers are still up, it's just they've taken down the Gold ones ha ha.
