Footy Beneath the Arctic Circle – Akureyri, Iceland

You're right again! Aaron, :-) they started with three teams and were down to just the Bulls and Eagles last year. Playing against the same guys every match does lose its appeal eventually so hopefully we'll see a re-emergence in Reykjavic over the next year or so now that there are some new opponents.

If you have a look at the history of most of the teams/leagues that have started up over the years they all (or nearly all) seem to have suffered a bit of a slump 2 or three or four years down the track and then recovered a few years later. It seems once they manage to get a regular and reasonably frequent competition with at least 3 or 4 teams going and not having to play against the same guys every (week) match the league starts to grow (although sometimes slowly) and not stagnate or even fold.

Hope these new guys come up with a unique name for themselves rather than the 24th edition of the Tigers or the 19th version of the Magpies or Dockers, or other AFL (league) monikers. "Volcanoes" seems pretty appropriate for Iceland I reckon or do they have Walruses in Iceland, or Arctic Foxes and Seals? :-)

I wish them well especially as they have managed to get the girls on board as well. They can't go wrong with taking a leaf out of Glasgow's book and have mixed teams and a draft to form the teams and then play a mini- season with a final.

Well, the fourth moniker that would fit with the theme of Eagles, Dragons and Bulls is "Giants"... They were named after three of the four traditional protectors of Iceland (or something along those lines).
