For too long the share of the sporting media pie has been carved up between those overpaid superstars known as professional athletes who drive fancy cars, pee in public and make guest appearances on dancing reality television programs.
Broomesport.com is about to change all that.
Broomesport.com is an independent online magazine devoted to everything sports related in Broome. Yes that’s right if you have scars to prove you’ve slid across Male Oval, if you’ve played Scroungers in the wet, got lost in the darkness of a Haynes Oval training session if you know what doing it sideways in the dirt means then you will appreciate these web pages. If hitting a ball with a bat or chasing an inflated piece of leather for an hour gives you nothing more than the energy to tolerate the marauding tourists in the silly season then Broome sports is for you, hell it will more than likely be about you.
You see we’re interested in the good folk of this town who without sport would have gone troppo yonks ago. Those who don’t hang out of cars gawking at the nudists north of the rocks, who could stagger blindfolded to the bak what van on a Saturday night who remember those Friday nights overlooking Roebuck Bay at venues free from volleyball courts and fishing off the end of the jetty. Those who don’t dirty their daks at the 1.15 from Perth flying low over Chinatown. If you know the marked pedestrian crossings along Carnarvon Street aren’t actually marked pedestrian crossings. If you know what What Now? means. Then you will be able to relate to broomesport.com.
The only thing unBroomeian is our devotion to timing. No we do not subscribe to Broometime in its original form. If Can’t Touch This has been upset, if the Scorpions have won the premiership if Bobby Green has hit a purple patch and is tearing up the back nine or Neil Marshall’s booted ten you’ll know about it ASAP. Fully based in Broome and using pixel rather than printing press for publication, local results and sporting news can be accessed within hours. Yes the hardworking staff at broomesport will be busier than the post office in July keeping you up to date so send us your scores, your pictures your opinions and remember broomesport.com because if it wasn’t for broome sport what would you be doing? And don't answer facebook. At least people you went to high school won't stalk you here.
The Friday Magazine. Really, its the best name we could come up with.
Each Friday, the Stories. photos and results of the week are emailed out to subscribers in a PDF. If you wish to receive the Friday Magazine, simple send an email to subscribe@broomesport.com There will also be a download link available on the site.
Just print it out! It will be great for the toilet at home or a waiting room. Carry it during the dry - handy for all the times you will be waiting behind an unwashed german youth or an old person.
