I'm surprised that no one has put this up before me. Yesterday's West on Page 133 with the headline " Iraq friendly for Glory " states " as Glory finalise a shift of their administration base from West Leederville to Western Force Headquarters in Mt. Claremont. Glory are set to share office and gym facilities with the Super Rugby franchise in a cost saving arrangement that will help the financial situation of both clubs. "
As having a 30 year involvement in local rugby, I feel we've gone backwards in having a home base at Perry Lakes with an HQ neutral home ground, which was traded off for a shiny new office block and gym with a half rugby field out the back, now having to share with another sport.
It makes you wonder if it is a glance into the future, as to when the Super Rugby agreement is due in a few years time and Perth has a chance of losing it's franchise, then Glory will become major Tennant and Rugby will have gone two steps forward and five steps back.
