Talking Footy

Wouldn't it be better investing in that stadium in China...
There's massive money to be made in catering .

& can't see Cricket giving up the Gabba .

The financial plight of the Greater Western Sydney Giants has been laid bare after it was revealed the club received two loans from the AFL totalling $2.5 million in the space of a year on top of a $23m grant from the sport's governing body.

In documents submitted to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, the Giants logged a $1.985m loss for the 2018 reporting period and said they remained "economically dependant on the continual support of the AFL" to survive.

Lol,
Wait for it ...the usual ..it's a 20-30 year plan excuses .

Yet we've had posters on here saying how big they are..how they're growing ..more popular than some nrl clubs. Blah blah .
How much AFL has grown in Syd because of them ...how many lol PARTICIPATION numbers there are .blah blah .

Reality is different .
& before a fumbler jumps in with look how many members they have .
IIRC Wookie posted a while back how their Membership revenue did not match up with the membership numbers .
Something was very fishy there.

Lol more image massaging .
More propaganda.

i think they are growing, however, very slowly. This is hardly surprising given how long it took the Swans to become popular in Sydney, and the fact they are the 2nd AFL club in Sydney.

However, they wont be financially independent for many years given how expensive it is to run an AFL club and compete with rich clubs

So it's the never ending excuse ...give them time .
It's a.......insert number of years here Project .


Yet we have AFL fans who boast about how successful they are . How much they've grown .
Blah.
Blah
You know the usual propaganda

how else will a brand new expansion club compete with established mega-rich heartland clubs? I dont see the issue if they require financial backing as long as the competition can afford it. the alternative is to not expand at all or rely on a wealthy benefactor who could very well pull out at any minute

WOW more Dough
i wonder if they can top $30 million this year..

I kid you not you see more AFL adverts in sydney and brisbane than you see NRL>
for advertising for games for the 4 expansion clubs


LOL LOL
Giants chief executive Dave Matthews said: "Our injury toll had the major impact on our financial result and inclement weather affected our gate receipts at several major home games.

LOL are you kidding yourself you made the PRE LIM FINAL

It's a comedy show .
It's just that AFL fans don't know it .

for a comedy show you guys seem very threatened. It's the AFL's money, if they choose to piss it away in Sydney that's their choice

Lol the old fear..threatened line .
Nope .
I don't know anyone who is threatened .we laugh at this plastic franchise .
The never ending comedy propaganda to convince the faithful that gws is so popular.
The laughable claims of how successful it has been for AFL ..dodgy participation numbers.
The never ending money pit
The Dodgy membership numbers that don't match membership revenue
The secretive backers ....lol
Wonder why they weren't named .
Is the name on the cheque ..Gilty?
Lol

You fumblers are so sucked in by the bullshit....
You seem to have massive trouble questioning anything remotely dodgy .
We laugh .

strong paranoia in this thread. Can you show me where anyone has boasted the giants are financially independent are 'so popular'?

Never said they were financially independent...what the fuck is wrong with the Vicderpian education system .
You nutters read shit that isn't ther . Can't comprehend a few simple sentences.

& I will repost some from here who ranted about the popularity of the midgets .

well financial independence would be a sign of success, and every AFL fan would know the giants are a long way off that.

Using posts from a trolling site as evidence of the average AFL fan's opinion is idiotic, but go right ahead....

Lol changing what you asked for .
You said anyone
Now it's oh average AFL fan .
Lol
