Melbourne Chargers Supporters Survey 2010

Over 12 months ago the idea was put together around forming Melbournes FIRST Gay friendly rugby team.

Last year the first Rugby 101 was held in the parklands near the State Hockey Centre, this saw a large number of people turn out to express their interest in playing with the Melbourne chargers and running through some drills and some touch. It was also the unveiling of the Melbourne Chargers Logo, which has since undergone some colour changes since joining Footscray.

Following this, the players began to meet each week to gradually develop their skills and knowledge of the game. After speaking with a number of the established Rugby teams in Melbourne it was decided that the best fit for the Melbourne Chargers would be to join the Footscray Rugby Team.

Early matches saw the team being convincingly, but the guys have trained hard and as the season has unfolded have come along in leaps and bounds in skills and confidence. To the point that every game they are competitive and with 2 games left in the season they have Won 4 matches (2 forfeit and 2 outright) with a number of bonus points due to tries scored and close results in recent weeks, the team is currently in 4th place and are a realistic chance of playing finals.

With the 2010 season coming to and end, the Melbourne Chargers is looking for feedback in terms of how we as a club performed, and any suggestions around what is needed to take the team into 2011 is greatly appreciated.

Results will be collated and presented at the 2010 AGM, and will be used as part of the Melbourne Chargers 2011 Planning. Please take some time to complete the survey so that we can continue to improve the Melbourne Chargers.
