you lot just make shit up and believe it to be fact!
no one claims that about the GWS and GCS you lot do!

then turn around and think the bears will be a high drawing team from a few double header one off games in Perth!

they only thing made up about the grants & thuns

are their home crowds

its funny how deep down you are shit scared of a couple AFL teams in NRL heart land that most AFL fans dont care for! the bears will be a bigger joke and its hilarious as they will be a shit show. its only a matter of time that the snake oil sales man PVL can continue to polish the turd

Oh really??? Sounds like you are the one to scared.

Rugby League is actually more popular in Perth than Melbourne. AFL fans actually said the same thing about the Melbourne Storm who entered a much tougher more competitive market.

26 years later and multiple premierships with an average home crowds exceeding 30,000. They are still as strong as ever.

its your lot that keeps mentioning the GWS and GCS and compare them to everything! majority of AFL fans dont care for them and let them bubble along doing what they do

Union is probably more popular in Perth than Melbourne not league, this is due to many expats from the UK, South Africa, ireland and NZ. league isnt a pinch of shit over here

the storm average 22k last year and 20k the year before and 13k over there whole history! in there 27 odd years of history they have only missed the top 6 2 to 3 times one of the most successful runs in Australian sporting history yet are still next to irrelevant and rate on tv similar to that of GWS and GCS eg pepper pig out rates them if you go by rating standards how you lot seem to do for everything despite networks and advertises seem to ignore the ratings system

Listening to Cook on SEN this evening and was surprised to hear him say unequivocally that the government were not putting any money into any upgrade of the stadium.

Cook stating that no government funding for hbf stadium - interesting. And that games could be played at Optus if demand dictates re crowds.

I would imagine the Dockers and Eagles would have something to say about that.

Doubtful NRL crowds would justify move to Optus Stafium anyway.

AFL games get similar rating in Sydney too. The vast majority of AFL matches are shown on 7mate here while Channel 7 plays re-runs of Better Homes & Gardens.

As for Perth, you just sound plain salty and upset at the fact the NRL will now have a team in Perth. .

If nobody cares about League and prefer Union... why are State of Origins game crowds so good in Perth?

Why are there always good crowds for NRL games in Perth?

You do realize a lot of people into Rugby Union like League & vice versa? Or did that fact kind of go over your head lol... What do you think all these NZ Warriors fans don't like the All Blacks too?

You can pull fake news statements out. But when you have no facts behind them.

i doubt Bears will play at OPTUS either. (bar the 1st game of season)

Political 100% did not want to come out and say 65mill and COE etc all at once with stadium..

Stadium is an unknown will happen me thinks in time.
