So, I bought season tickets for the Cairns
Taipans home games in Cairns .
Why? I don't understand basketball at all but I like the whole tribal atmosphere of a stadium of people supporting the
home team.

What is a Taipan? It’s a local snake that will
kill you dead. Click here -

Margaret cheered at the top of her lungs as
the Taipans scored another goal. They were at the Cairns Convention Centre,
known to the locals as the Snake Pit. Her team, the Taipans, named after the
deadliest snake in the world, came from the Cairns area, hence the name of the basketball
venue. She and Kath were sitting amidst a sea of orange clad Taipan supporters.
They outnumbered the visiting Townsville Crocs fans twenty to one.
Margaret loved the tribal atmosphere of the
Snake Pit. She wasn’t a huge fan of the game as she didn’t really understand
it, but she did support the home team. That was all that mattered. She looked
around, waving at a few people she knew. It seemed that most of Cairns were there tonight.
“Well fuck,” Margaret muttered when she saw
the blond man several rows down from where they sat.
“What?”
“That dickhead from the taxi rank is here.”
“Where?”
Margaret pointed him out, hoping he wouldn’t
turn and see her. It was unlikely. He was sitting beside a very pretty looking
blond. Typical.
Kath looked impressed. “Wow! He’s gorgeous!
Oh hey, he’s looking over.” She waved at him.
Margaret grabbed her friend’s hand. “Don’t
do that. He’s the enemy.”
“Right. Sorry. I forgot we hate him.”
“No, we don’t hate him. We just dislike him
a lot.”
