A veritable flock of footie Volvos - 30.06.2012

Postby MTT384 » Sun Jul 01, 2012 1:42 pm

Sorry, but I'm going to begin with a rant:

As I walked along Salvado Rd past where Swan buses used to layover at the footie, I read the sign on the stop which advised punters that the buses now layed over on Roberts Rd adjacent to Patterson Stadium. My immediate thought was, where's that? Who the feck do these sponsors think they are that they have a right to rename Perth landmarks? It's been Subi Oval since 1908!

Similarly it's been Perth Oval since 1904 (previously known as Loton's Paddock after its original owner). What's this nib stadium bullsh!t?

Any how, to the shots at Subi Oval, where I have no idea or interest in who was playing whom, but the Volvo artic was certainly victor:

Interesting that you can have "FOOTBALL SPECIAL" in three different fonts and cases?
