It's anwhere from nearly 12 - 15km from Ashfield silly. Check it out on google maps. We don't fly like birds to the footy you know. And what, inner west is now inner city?King-Eliagh wrote:As the bird flys Homebush is about 4 km from ashfield, which is the 'inner west' or from the examples you give I guess the 'inner city. They could have atleast made it at Parramatta if not Blacktown and then I reckon they could've called it GWS.Beaussie wrote:So exactly where is Homebush? Inner city, eastern suburbs, north shore or southern suburbs? You're an idiot and have no idea why the AFL choice was Homebush and not Blacktown. Do a little research in future stupid.King-Eliagh wrote:It's a shame they have decided to have their homeground at the olympic stadium site. Foolish move as you just cant call that 'west sydney'.
So Campbelltown, Camden, Liverpool, Fairfield, Bankstown etc are not considered western Sydney in your eyes. Way to go in alienating a huge market for the AFL by basing a team out a Blacktown. BTW, you do realise that Australian Football is and has long been stronger in south western Sydney than western Sydney. Thank god you have nothing to do with the decision on where to base the team. Also care to explain where the money would have come from for a redeveloped Blacktown stadium? You do know that the Sydney Showground redevelopment came about with government funding of $65 million in part because the Royal Agriculture Society supported the idea too. Your pipe dream of a stadium in Blacktown is simply unrealistic for many, many reasons. You have no idea what you're talking about.King-Eliagh wrote:And Beaussie I think you've told me before why they chose not to have the team out thereSo they could get south west sydney people in via train. A foolish decision if you ask me and while I hope not, it could well contribute to their down fall. Homebush is not a great place to travel for a footy game, there's nothing there but the olympic site. And it's not in the heart of west sydney so the local fans will be in direct competition with the swans. As you've said on countless occassions already, you're seriously considering switching sides when GWS comes in
As for Swans and Giants in direct competition, well of course they are. The Swans one must remember however, have the majority of their membership base in the eastern suburbs and north shore.
