So Sturt fans arent happy with us waving Union Jacks and celebrating our english heritage. BTW how did Sturt become the double blues something about some O/S University colours ?????
How about in 7 years the next time you make a Grand Final. Any chance you could actually make a grand final sized banner. It was dwarfed by the CDFC banner. I have seen bigger banners at the local primary schools sports day. Do you have to ration sticky tape in unley or something ????
Firstly, both banners were exactly the same size as per AAMI Stadium regulations so that shows what a fool you are. And yes, alot of the money for the banners did come out of our supporters pocket as they have all year as due to the financial situation of our club, that is the way I wanted it. You can sprout your never ending pokie money around if you like coz geez, that's something to be proud of for your area
Secondly, O/S University colours, indeed this is where our colours originate from, because our oval in SOUTH AUSTRALIA is adjacent to two streets bearing the same name. Any double blue Union Jacks in the Sturt Cheer Squad due to this link? No, but there is a Southern Cross. Maybe, going by your assumptions, we can't afford one.
I know Italian migrants who grew up in Elizabeth, I know German migrants who grew up in Elizabeth of which my family are one, so while the name Elizabeth does come from Royal heritage, the area doesn't only have links with the English and therefore it isn't the only link your club has either.
