Tony Abbott - supporter of the West Adelaide FC.

any publicity is good publicity........if you believe the political journalists, the PM will have time on his hands to come & watch Westies' play before seasons end

Is it feasible and legal to have a "no d...head" clause?

A brave move for any club to introduce such a clause Chambo.....

Reckon there would be a club in the inner eastern suburbs that would wipe out a large part of their member base

And still have more than the Richmond faithful

Sounds like a totally ridiculous over reaction...

Football clubs are places that should welcome people from all backgrounds, I am openly Conservative yet if Bill Shorten walked into the South Adelaide FC, I would be more than happy to shake his hand and chat with him if access to the public was granted and despite the fact that I don't plan to vote for him, I would show him every respect and courtesy along with openly thanking him for his support of the club.

If people wish to start making poisonous vendettas over who the club hires its venue to, they might be better off to leave until they learn to build a bridge and get over it!

Ben W is obviously a person with plain commonsense, thoughtfulness & logic after reading his post, well done Ben W

ps, a club by nature is a reflection of society in general, people from different walks of life come together, as it should be
