yes :roll:

Wednesday may the 23rd is on the weekend is it
it was never moved to the weekend
it was never going to be played at AAMI

just like I said :wink:


it will be a sellout
it will probably draw the biggest crowd of the year to Etihad for any code

Origin
the juggernaut :wink:

Yes interesting thought TLPG especially with that 1997 crowd. But I gotta say that there's improvement in the latter games.

But if I were running the NRL I would also steer clear of the MCG because as I said the atmosphere would be **** there. Even I wouldnt bother going if it were there, far too big and distant from the action. Even if you bought the best tiks you'd be too far away, just like the olympic stadium in Sydney. That's probably the main reason for the big drop in crowds there.
Yeah , the smaller Etihad has been sold out once & near sold out on the 2nd occasion
MCG is a hole ....
awful
they won't have any trouble selling Etihad out again in 2012
Um, update time. State of Origin will NOT be at Etihad Stadium next season. The game is scheduled for the 30k capacity AAMI Park according to article I posted in the OP. Surely a sign of popularity on the decline yeah.

MCG > Etihad Stadium > AAMI Park
hmmmm

captain .. " geez will I ever get anything right "... aka beaussie
strikes again , how'd that statement go for ya 8-[


its OK mate
your just out of your depth dealing with a heavy weight such as myself
Ill go easy :\:

Onions, as a matter of fact that was a proposal only. The announcment linked shows that if there is a weekend game it won't be the Melbourne game. It will be either of the other two, although the link I found seemed to indicate that the vacant weekend will be left for a test and the City Country game (which incidentally is at the end of it's run).
