yes it was an untapped market, they had zero AFL
Agree - the AFL really stuffed. Up re giants - and good we agree that the point of going their wax to tap an untapped market. Same as Storm going to Melbourne - back in the day rugby league was even a less of a thing than it is now.leeroy*NRL* wrote: Tue Sep 10, 2024 1:37 pmyes it was an untapped market, they had zero AFL
but that does not mean it will work.. (AFL totally under estimated Sydney)
They had made Lions and Swans into winning forces to gain and remain relevant they thought that doing the same with Giants would pay dividends.
(im expecting a fair bit of Crowd support for the Lions on saturday) coming from the north and south

I think the suns will actually benefit from their challenging years - they have a solid base of rusted in supporters who have stuck with them - so when they do do well they will have their band wagon jumpers - and a few will stay- but they’ll still have these rusted in supporter.

It’s deemed Cat 1 though, so $101 for an adult ticket… ouch. That will scare some people away who are browsing and on the fence about going.
They need to make the tickets cheaper.
How much do AFL officials get paid, how much do they actually do.
