We have shit facilities in the SCG yet the crowds are still good. Facilities are a weak excuse for a lack of crowds if you ask me. If people like the team/code they'll support them wherever they play I would've thought. That's what is called passion and commitment to your club isn't it?

What, the people of Victoria don't read the Herald Sun which promotes it's own product the Melbourne Storm? Perhaps it is more to do with the fact that Victorians don't have any interest in rugby league. Surely you're not trying to tell us that the Herald Sun does not publish when the games are on and who the Storm are playing. From what I've heard the Storm get a full page each week with such details, not to mention all the other articles in the paper each day of the week.

The NRL doesn't seem to care about getting its code on FTA TV in developing markets. Look at the AFL who stress the importance of such measures when negotiating the TV rights. Have you heard any mention of such conditions needing to be satisfied by Gallop? I wouldn't hold your breath that Victorians will get any FTA TV coverage of Storm games out of the next broadcasting agreement.
