Gay club mistaken for NRL’s new team.

A Perth social club for gay men has been mistaken for the NRL’s new Perth Bears team

A social club for gay men known as Bears Perth has been mistaken by NRL fans as the newly announced Perth Bears.

A social club for gay men known as Bears Perth has put out a notice to interstate rugby league fans that they are not the NRL’s new Perth Bears team.

Bears Perth was established in 1997 for men and was not in anyway associated with Perth’s new NRL team, the notice read, and asked people not to sign up if they wanted to join the new rugby club.

Bears Perth president Kingsley Dawes told Sydney radio station 2GB they were being inundated with new membership applications from people who lived interstate.

Adding to the confusion the Bears Perth clubhouse is located next to one of the city’s major sporting grounds at HBF Park.

Mr Dawes said it was a bit weird to receive membership requests from people outside of WA and they phoned about 20 membership hopefuls from out of state to tell them they were not the rugby league club.

“We hardly ever get stuff from out of state, so we got all these memberships and we had to call them up and say, ‘You do realise we are not the rugby club,” Mr Dawes said.

“So if you wanted to, you could go and watch the Perth Bears and then you could drop into the Bears Perth on the way home?” 2GB presenter Ben Fordham asked.

“Yep, and we’d be happy to have visitors, we welcome everybody,” Mr Dawes replied.

  • If this club had any brains they would sign Ian Roberts as an ambassador and get on board as an official partner. And the NRL club would be smart to try to become the chosen team of the poofs, my gay uncles are Rabbitohs supporters , but I'd bet if a team become an official homo team , they'd jump  . They have plenty of money . Untapped market being the official gay NRL team, look how much coin people like Kylie Minogue , Tina Arena and Pink have made by pretending to give a shit about the gay community .  You don't even need to be good or talented , just throw a bit of glitter and rainbows around on the clubs socials and they'll be set.  

    • Bring out the jerseys with the bottom tucked into the coller, showing mid drift and assless chaps.

    • Can you believe that Roberts was the last open poof to play NRL or AFL!!!

      • Yep not much value in coming out for the league players tbh.

        Now if they paid $100k to come out, watch them all line up.

        • Mate I'd fuck a bloke on live prime time tv for 100k , neverlone just say im gay.  Some of the women I've shagged in my younger days I should've been paid 100k , so meh, id disappoint some poor bastard for a minute ,  for 100k to spend on something else  I don't need.  

      • Hasn't that rudolf guy from the sharks confessed he likes both ways?

        • He has said he's " fluid " but only fucks women , he was brought up around the gay  " community " as he has a queer uncle or some shit. He was just being woke and cool at the time.  Don't forget he was dragged over the coals for saying he was going to Northies to pick up " anything " after a match once , so he was accused of disrespecting women. 

      • If 3% of the population is gay (as per google), then, by average, there would be one in every club's top 30. Who would be most likely at the Eels? The lack of any females on one players instagram might suggest that he prefers the company gentlemen... not that there's anything wrong with that!
