Mandy Nolan’s Soapbox: Shopping Centres Scare Me

I feel trapped. There isn’t a single time I attend where I don’t check my proximity to the exits, or imagine what I’d do if there was a fire, or worse, a shooter. The sense of being enclosed is unnatural, I can’t tell what time of day it is, I lose my sense of direction. It’s designed to be disorienting. It feels otherworldly. And never in a good way. They are designed to make you stay longer. They are by design, disorienting.

Just one game away from playing in the 2016 grand final, the Shores United Men’s 4th Division soccer team are peaking at the right time of the season.

After a gutsy 1–0 win against Richmond Rovers in Lismore on Saturday the New Brighton-based team takes on Ballina in this week’s semi final.

The team finished the regular season fifth on the ladder and have put in an amazing effort to not lose a game since the beginning of July, team supporter Michelle Begg said.

This is the first season they have played together as a team.

The Shores play Ballina in the semi final on Friday  at 6.30pm at Saunders Oval Ballina.
