Talking Footy

the SFS IS the best venue and they haven't come. Move on.

It's not the best venue. If you think it is you are sadly mistaken.

Best venue in the wrong fucking spot.

No. Right spot, but needs to be bigger and better covered.

even para got this one right.
if rl wasn't so hell bent on upsetting AFL then maybe they would've built the SFS somewhere more practical than the SCG.

Wrong spot, no team that plays out of it would have the hope of filling bar once or twice a year.

Put it out west and it would be filled a hellava lot more.

so merge easts and souths eh para.

Why when last year both averaged 20k?

Plus Souths don't play out of the SFS, do they derp?

maybe they should then eh para maybe they should

Well yes, maybe they should.

But while they are getting paid to play out of ANZ, they should take the money and run.

It's not like it has had any effect on their crowds because the crowds they are getting are their highest ever.

we're talking the long term view.

Well long term view is, if you continue to pay me money, I will continue to use your stadium, if not, I'll gladly play elsewhere.

No it wouldn't because you'd scare off the Manly supporters. And likely the Roosters and the Rabbitohs as well. Three of the biggest fan bases in town.

Allianz is in the right place, and it's also right for the NRL to go head on with the AFL - because the AFL has been doing it to them for years and it's partly why they are winning the battle at present.

where would you build venue then
SFS is south of the city, next to the SCG, but gets half the crowd
