For what its worth - I believe that at the end of this season - WE have done enough.
Forgive me for using the collective WE. Let me explain.
WE - The Western Force supporters - have attended each game this year, in higher numbers that last year. Apparently we are the only Club to do that in Australia. We have used our voice and our words. We have written articles and posts in web sites. We have raised and signed petitions. We have constructed banners and created stickers. We have have become shareholders. WE shed a tear when Hodgo retired. And WE have become world famous.
We - The Western Force team - have won more games than the experts expected. Have made believers out of commentators and reporters that some would say have a hatred for the Western Force. We have beaten the "protected species of the Waratahs and the Reds. We traveled around the world and beat Argentina at home. We came second in the Australian Conference when the experts picked us to be last. We have a head coach that every other Australian Team wants.
We - RugbyWA - have brought the Western Force back to Clubland where the majority of Club stalwarts don't hate them as much as they used to. We have taken the ARU to court and convinced Former Governor Malcolm McCusker to take up the fight. We have shown thru innovation that WA can support and sustain a Super Rugby side. We have convinced that Andrew Twiggy Forrest to support the Western Force and its fight with the ARU.
We have done everything we possibly could. We have left nothing behind and left no stone unturned. We will win this fight. We will be here next year. WE are the Sea of Blue.
