 Bulletin - Pie way or the highway   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
In 1990, when Collingwood star Peter Daicos faced bankruptcy and Fitzroy football club was struggling to remain in the league, a Collingwood fan elbowed aside a Fitzroy supporter at a pie stand and silenced his complaints with these words: “We’ve got one player who owes more than your entire team is worth.”
I don’t really remember, because that night Collingwood was playing Brisbane and I refused to turn off the television while he told me (well, I presume he told me) his shattering story.
Should Collingwood make it to the grand final, and perhaps go a step further than in 2001, Australia will be reminded – this is a promise – of the reasons why we were hated for so long.

 ABC Radio National - The Sports Factor Transcript - August 27, 1999
One of the Collingwood Football Club's greatest players was Bob Rose; he played with the club from 1946 to 1955; he was also the coach for a number of years, and he's a long-standing member of the Board.
Clearly when Collingwood was born in about 1892, football was a passionate game, but nowhere near as this new club coming along the scene and bringing out record number of crowds and record number of people to the ground.
But Collingwood didn't take up the option, they were too busy trying to win a premiership and trying to stay afloat because they had money troubles at that particular time, and they decided to try and stay afloat, and probably buried their head in the sand a little bit.
