Can I just point out, that if you go thru all the records of the RL clubs in England that are say, at least 60-70 year old, I would bet 9 out of 10 have played in front of a bigger crowd than Liverpool ever had outside the MCG match, only about 15 RL clubs in England would've beat that MCG attendance, maybe it's only 10 times and some teams appeared more than once, but you get the picture..

Hehe.

Heck, even the lowly Les Catalans Dragons from France where RL has been strangled to death have played in front of 87,000 people.

Doesn't matter. The AFL don't look at whether or not it's an AFL city. They look at pure numbers. They'll move in on Canberra. Startrack Oval is a good venue. If it wasn't for the fact that there isn't (AFAIK) a good venue in Newcastle they'd target that city as well. I'm not saying it's right. I'm saying that's what they'll do.

hahahahahhahaha fuck your a funny man

Fuck me you're actually cos arent you. This is his bullshit line.

The AFL has next to no support in Newcastle, and crowds and tv ratings in the regions dont support a team in either area. Not to mention other than government support theres fuck all corporate support in the ACT for a team requiring at least 20 million a year + AFL distributions to keep up with the other teams - as GWS is going to find out when the ACT sponsorship ends. The AFL has NEVER mentioned Newcastle, not once, when it comes to expansion, and I cant recall a document that mentions Canberra outside of a FIFO destination.

Its like those idiots saying there'll be an AFL team in North Queensland. There wont be for the same reasons Ive outlined above.

You should have stuck to explaining why the sokka mob hoped to get a tv rights increase using player numbers .
We suspected you were mentally unhinged.

Your posting in this thread does more than confirm you are a fruit loop.

The MCG match isn't the biggest crowd Liverpool have played in front, 100,000 at Wembly for a start.
