Sorry. Etoile again.
No, I am not getting any commission from the Frenchies. I'm getting no kisses, letters, toast or fries.
They have one guy from the Supporters Club over on Kallang Roar talking to the guys on the board. He's giving them information, answering questions, trying to get people to come along and support the club.
Now you could argue that as a new club they should be pulling out all the stops to attract attention and I would agree wholeheartedly.
You know where I'm going with this, doncha...
...eh?
Why haven't the local clubs been doing this? For now those clubs who do seem to have a supporters club operate very secretivly. Information can be hard to find, it all seems cliquey, Don Corleone would be proud.
Tonight Etoile take on Geylang United. With ticket prices at a tenner tonight will anyone turn up? Will the French team see any benefit from their on line presence? Will the green shirted automatons who follow Geylang United fill the Queenstown night sky wth chants of Defend Defend while wiping bits of chicken from their mouths?
