Tigers to sell a home game to the NSW Government and Giants

[Beaussie]

This would be good and assists in bringing another game to Sydney for the Giants during the problematic Sydney Royal Easter Show period, when Engie Stadium is unavailable.

Seems they can't get enough of their AFL in Sydney -

i wonder how much Sydney would offer for this game>>
it would be in prime weekend slot it looks (Easter period) holidays and all>

a crowd of 20k is on the cards.

Richmond supporters tend to travel

Seems pretty petty of my club to try and block this with the SCG exclusivity agreement.

Should the Swans enforce their SCG exclusivity agreement, the game may need to played at Accor Stadium out west. Perhaps that wouldn’t be such a bad thing. They could offer thousands of free or $10 tickets to show goers, similar to what the NRL do during the Easter Show. The other benefit is Accor Stadium is next to the Giants Engie Stadium, so familiar for Giants fans.

yeah good idea, though having it at the Easter Show Precinct is a complete myth that it boosts crowds.

NRL only has 1 game there during the entire event >> the Good Friday Clash.
and its more that is is a Public Holiday than anything
