Re: Rank the Codes in the ACT

cause there crowds would barley cover rent of the stadium

Re: Rank the Codes in the ACT
You would think that if the giants weren’t playing in the act amd doing well and indeed, better, there than in weste Sydney, that the AFL would plonk a team there already to go in or around the time Tassie come on board. It’s a perfect time to strike - but I feel they have nobbled themselves with GWS. To be honest- the simple easier decision would be to admit they stuffed up with the implementation of gws and move them lock stick and barrel to Canberra - however longterm - and the much more challenging decision, is to persist in the huge market, still untapped, of western Sydney. To do the later though would require a big change of direction and focus for gws. The first thing would becoming more attuned to the working class roots of the area.

Sydney Swans have never been popular in the west..
i just could not see the AFL giving up on 3 million people and growing
however a ACT Team is only a matter of time...
Especially considering Wagga Wagga and Albury are close by bringing in even more fans

Wagga is as close as Campbelltown is to Canberra
Albury is closer to derpbourne then it is to Canberra
they come to a game or 2 each year , thats it
a fulltime fumbles & stumbles ACT team is ... NEVER .. happening

There are lies, damn lies and then there are ratings.
Rugby league, Australias most popular game in some of North Eastern Australia.

Neighbouring populations being 2 or 3 hours away would do this (only in Canberra)

Re: Rank the Codes in the ACT
Gees, Rugby Union crowds in Canberra are awful these days.
Re: Rank the Codes in the ACT

when they can watch it in Dumbourne at the MCG which is closer
thats the only elite football in Nth QLD too , theres plenty of options down this way.
like i said'
a game or 2 a year , thats it for Riverina fans & they'd be going to watch the away team mainly too , as they do now. There is no connect there,
Canberra is not the Riverina.
plus won't ever happen ,
Canberra is stuck with 3 games of derps & misse a years & thats ... more then enough

Re: Rank the Codes in the ACT
GIO stadium will be the centre of the sporting universe for the " region " today & further afield
Fans coming from everywhere to watch the NRL's top of the table clash in YOUR nations capital today
all ports in the Riverina
the South Coast as far away as Eden
Orange , Bathurst , Cowra
the mark they're looking to beat is 25,253 setting a new Raiders regular season home game record crowd
& all indicators are its going to go
The standing room tickets released after the game sold out on Wednesday , lasted just 2 hrs ,
Members have been brow beaten by the club & local media into giving up their seats if they can't attend today , with a portal set up to distribute their seats back for resale
so there are no excuses
huge day
enormous
