Assuming my Gran was still with us , that would be a very tempting offer to sell her for a flag ,, but at the expense of never winning another. Your kidding arent you .mordi wrote:...........but would you sell your soul (or Grandmother) to the devil in return?
Mind you ,, I wonder if the deal was already done in 1966 ,,,
oh , and as much as i loved my gran , she was a dyed in the wool , one eyed , raised in the suburb , knew everything Collingwood supporter.
I have many cousins who are collingwood fans ,, as a kid i always wondered why they got better presents all the time.
What will be next from this club ?

VietNam_Saint, let me clarify..........
the OP's deal was You get the Premiership Flag, but never again.
My deal was , you sell your soul and/or Grandmother to the devil for the Flag. This would not preclude further flags, and presumably you can sell other key parts of your self and family to said Beelzebub.

What's the Point of it All?

What great responses (but thought "idiot" was a bit mean matrix
)
I must admit to a bit of mischievious motivation for the OP. The answers show just how much Sainters care about future generations and how unselfish they are (despite every reason to grab that ONE flag for themselves!) Good onya everyone!

I prefer to think of that day as one of "character building" rather than "soul destroying".mordi wrote:.....from a personal point of view........given my soul was destroyed on the 28th of April 1979 at Victoria Park (look it up if you werent there)........it would be a great deal (although the devil may not accept such a damaged item)

Well i'm sure my old man thought that in 1966 and nothing has happened yet. I'm to old to wait another 43 years and my old man is now 73 so for his sake I will take this year if it never means another flag. Also my Daughter is old enough to remember this one even if it is the last.saintlee wrote:You'd seriously take 1 more premiership for the rest of the club's existence??plugger66 wrote:Wouldnt need a second to think about it. Yes in a heartbeat.
No way is that a good deal.........I would expect us to win a number in my lifetime, call me optimistic if you like, but I want to see a few!

The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

Whereas I would rather fold (in defiance) than relocate (in submission)....SaintHomer wrote:if this club ever folded i would be devastated. i would see them relocate before then.
but to the OP...... yes very tempting to have such a "Faustian" bargain.....
but on reflection the answer is no..... but Plugger's reason - for his aged father - is a good one.....
.....if it is to be this year then I for one will remember some of the Great Sainters who have gone up to the sky in the last few years with particular reverence who will miss the day (seem to remember some moving posts on here around a year or so back.....)
