Big region, shit crowds. GWS also own that region you know so do your views on Parramatta also reflect those in GWS in terms of club survival?eelofwest wrote:I have had people on this site say countless times how parramatta Eels should merge with another club........in your dreams.
Parramatta is the 3rd largest city in Aus, outside of Sydney CBD, Melbourne CBD.
There is no way in hell Parra are merging with another club.

Last weekend Sydney FC attracted 35,000 fans to Allianz Stadium.
On Saturday night the Wanderers and Sydney FC sold out Parramatta Stadium a week in advance.
It's something the Parramatta Eels haven't done since their grand final charge in 2009.
The atmosphere was extraordinary. This is something our tired and stale old rugby league administrators can learn from.

Just read the article. Why would he want to return to the Eels of the 80s? Their attendances back then were awful. Or does he mean on-field?"Parramatta is a huge district, both by way of population and commercial metrics.

which means they'll join the only other code that can claim this feat this year ..... Rugby League
well done to both codes for ..... growing =D> =D>
