White Elephant to Launch VFL Season
Body: 

For the 2nd year running the VFL will launch its season at “The Grandstand” right in the heart of Preston.

Many VFL supporters will not be familiar with “The Grandstand” as only three VFL games a season are played at Preston City Oval these days, but the venue is the newly renovated social rooms that were once home to the Preston Football and Cricket Social Club.

“The Grandstand” quickly became a White Elephant as Football Savvy locals avoided the cash strapped Northern Blues like the plague.

Late last season Blues officials took the extraordinary measure of adding staff to the cash strapped club with a part-time manager employed to oversee operations of “The Grandstand”.

With two full time staff and a part timer the cash strapped Blues are one of the most officiated clubs in the competition, leaving plenty of time for General Manager Garry O’Sullivan to focus on the football.

In 2013 the cash strapped Blues have recruited a player from Swan Hill who they have high hopes for.
