China

[Juice Newton 0]

maybe we should get some players shipped in from china to help us out (made in china, so to speak). either way, there have been rumours flowing around on 3AW with neil mitchel today that the title has changed from demons to just the dees because the word demon is offensive or something in china. any truth to this? And, in all seriousness, why does the club even care about china? does anyone have info on why we are wasting time and money in china?

Well the club obvviously believes that it can reap some financial rewards in the future. EPL clubs have benefited from involvement with China - Everton etc. Perhaps the club willl international list a player from China and hope to parlay that into a sponsorhip or other financial benefit.

I've actually seen quite a few young Chinese people in Demon scarves walking to the G', and even some cars owned by Chinese people with MFC stickers on them...which you'd hardly ever see.

Perhaps the experiment could be gaining momentum. Although they probably would want a more appealing side to go for.

Actually I did notice quite a lot (realively) of Chinese on Sat.. well where I was.. lol.. Some even with a bit of red and blue on...but that might have been coincidental.

Felt sorry for the blighters...imagine coming to this year's opening games as your first foray to the G !!

At first I thought this idea was just fantasy. But I am warming to the idea. At the very least there is a large asian community in Melbourne that are completely untapped.

We can run educational tours...explain to them that its just like golf...team with lowest score wins!

Far fetched perhaps but Mugabe would get away with it in Zimbabwe

I don't think people really understand the whole China idea.

Its not about trying to gain the attention of the Chinese living in China. Its about the huge amounts of Chinese students living in Melbourne who could jump on board the club.

As was said above, there is a massive untapped Asian market in Australia, and if we get get them supporting the red and blue then the MFC will benefit hugely.

And we can still call them the Demons - even if its not the 'official' name of the club.
