Re: Could the A-League collapse all together?

But lets examine your statements shall we: “we have had 17 games of super rugby played in Australia up until last weekend half have no crowds posted for them with only 50% of matches having crowds , how would anyone know if they are considerably better then the A leagues ?” “ theres been 6 crowds p...

Re: GWS / SUNS >> How much more dollars

As noted in other thread - playing games in Canberra is a mistake for GWS - does nothing to connect them to local community - something they desperately need to do. Seem very plastic so where do they play for that month around easter ... ? they refuse to play at accor & i understand why their t...

Re: Who or Where is Next?

The fumbling code is maxxed out. They have nowhere to go that will add any value to the code. The NT, Canberra or another team in NSW or Qld will be totally dependent on handouts. They will be another GWS. An unloved bastard child playing in front of family and friends. Another team in one of the fu...

AFL accused of lacking morals - and no one is surprised!!!

In run off the mill totally un-surprising news the Australian Fumbling League has been accused of lacking morals by the wife of former Bulldog fumbler Nigel Kellet. Her exact words were, "You'd think an organisation like the AFL would have the integrity, morals and ethics to honour their word.....

Re: Collingwood - 0-3

Thoughts Fred re next Thursday night vs Lions at the Gabba? Will hopefully be a good game with both clubs desperate for a win. A lot of improvement required for both clubs on field. I'd suggest getting the Qld Dentist Association to set up clinics outside the Gabba. There's money to be made in them...

Re: Footy Crowds - 2024

LOL touché. Calm down, I was just pointing out the soccer had a bigger crowd than the NRL grand final replay in Western Sydney RL heartland. Oh and lots of tickets unsold for the NRL grand final replay at the 22,500 capacity stadium in Penrith. Panthers Stadium (commercially known as BlueBet Stadiu...

Re: GWS / SUNS >> How much more dollars

Homebush was the correct decision, it's central to a large area of Western Sydney. Looking at the map Blacktown is very far out in north west direction and not as easy for fans to commute. Blacktown Giants sounds terrible and would not win any fans. Homebush ( and Canberra ) is the correct location...

Re: GWS / SUNS >> How much more dollars

You really are down the rabbit hole beatup. Sad really. They ditched Blacktown to go to Homebush. They told lies. $60M was then spent to do a refurbishment of the old Showground. It was a shithole. That money would have been spent, and was planned to be spent, on Blacktown had they not lied and scu...

Re: GWS / SUNS >> How much more dollars

Oh dear, a training base as a “long term home” according to the mayor, at the time. You really do sound and look silly here Terry. Just look at Blacktown for sec in the screenshot below. Only a moron would honestly think the AFL would announce a new team in Western Sydney, that would be based at th...

Re: GWS / SUNS >> How much more dollars

Stupid decision on many levels. Homebush is not greater western Sydney. Neither is Canberra. They should have toughed it out at Blacktown. They would have got the respect of the local community for doing so. Their crowds may not be any better but at least they would be seen as a true greater wester...

Re: GWS / SUNS >> How much more dollars

Yep, like GWS, playing away from home when you are trying to establish a loyal home crowd. True. But they've got no choice because they signed up to the Showground Stadium knowing they'll be locked out for 6 weeks during the Royal Easter Show every single year. Stupid decision on many levels. Homeb...
