management or owner of the club are responsible for marketing and operating costs, advertises pay sponsorship dollars and fans buy memberships
so in this case the AFL pays for operating costs of GWS and in the Case of the unwanted team P V landys is trying to dump in WA he wants government to pay and bank roll team
have you seen what Tasmania is doing outside of the stadium deal
and that has nothing to do what i stated in regards to sponsorships and members
GWS making nothing from it.
the Government has been pressing the AFL for a team for decades not the other way around. im not sure om the structure of the team, but to my understanding both AFL and Tasmanian government will fund it & most likely the AFL will take up the management side
i doubt western Sydney councils went begging hand over fist to the AFL for a fresh start up side in the case of GWS
for what its worth the AFL should have used thr southport sharks the already established large club with large following on the GC over the GC suns
I've had that little discussion with FRED on here about AFL 100% should of went to SOUTHPORT SHARKS
had the entire setup was good to go.
and entering as the Gold Coast Sharks, would of been brilliant. Big mistake in my books.
regards to the NRL asking PERTH etc.
(upgrade of stadium and facilities ) i see that as big benefit to the city and the state
not just the NRL
ever been to MUSIC CONCERT on a rectangle stadium compared to Oval.
Rectangle shits on it any day of the week.
NRL have asked for grassroots funding in schools ?? again other sports receive this funding.. NRL is asking ?
Perth agreed to HQ for Perth.. so there is a gift to the NRL.
again Swans, GWS, LIONS have all received big funding for there HQ
besides that does not look like much else, until we see details
again, with AFL demands put forward for entry.
i dont agree with a stadium or HQ
i disagree with 23k seats at 1 billion and ballooning by the day

and needing of a roof. (seems way over the top)
