Cash strapped Gold Coast Titans looking to move to PNG

[Beaussie]

Hahahaha

After just one season of AFL on the Gold Coast where the Gold Coast Suns dominated the market in membership, sponsorship and crowd numbers, it appears the broke NRL/Gold Coast Titans are considering packing up shop and heading to PNG.

Good riddance NRL. :<> :<> :<>

CASH strapped Gold Coast Titans have entered sell-off talks with the consortium backing Papua New Guinea's NRL bid in a shock move that could see Port Moresby host top line matches.

The Gold Coast is already AFL heartland. This proposal to move Titans games to PNG will just ensure the AFL heartland of the Gold Coast grows bigger and stronger. Cheers NRL. Well it's not like you really have a choice with the Titans flat broke after just a few seasons in the competition.

The Gold Coast is already AFL heartland.

yeah , the Heartland couldn't get in to watch that " international " AFL ... quick enough could they ?

Gold Coast AFL heartland?

Titans moving to PNG?

Beaussie and FACTS?

AFL heartland is where the local team the Gold Coast Suns attracts bigger crowds than the local NRL team. So much so that the NRL teams is flat broke, busted fudging crowd numbers all season and now seriously considering whoring itself to PNG. Wont be long before they fold under mounting debts owed to creditors. That will be the 4th Rugby League club to fold on the Gold Coast. Add Adelaide, Perth and Melbourne and you get the clear picture that NRL expansion has been an absolute disaster. The game will never grow and is actually in decline in NSW and QLD. Way to go NSWRL.

as much as lowest will be used for GWS

[ParraEelsNRL]

LOL, the titans have been in talks to take some Pre season games over there, that's all.

The rest is News Lmt bullshit.

[Beaussie]

Hmm, yeah right. Just like the Titans don't fudge crowd numbers every game.

[ParraEelsNRL]

No, they're not the swans Brions and thuns giving away thousands and lying about it, Dean laidley sellout ring a bell?

Derp.

[Beaussie]

Again more made up rubbish. I've posted links and facts that support the case that the Titans fudge crowd numbers. You on the other hand.... Wasting my time of course.

[ParraEelsNRL]

Well you said the Titans fudged the crowds, prove it or STFU.

You are still a sook that goes off when beaten, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Titans fans missing in action

THE Titans' crowds crisis could be worse than originally feared.

Stadiums Queensland is about to launch an investigation into a ticketing error that led to almost 14,000 extra fans being added to the club's total attendance at Skilled Park during the past 12 months.

As the Titans and AFL's Suns wage a cross-code battle for fans on the Gold Coast, a probe of Stadiums Queensland's most recent annual report uncovered major irregul-arities in the Titans' official home crowd figures.

The 95-page government report, detailing the activities of Queensland's nine big sporting stadiums for the 2009-10 financial year, showed:

* None of the Titans' home crowds announced at 14 games matched the attendances printed in the annual report.

* Thirteen of Gold Coast's 14 games featured inflated attendances.

* The greatest discrepancy was an extra 2209 fans for the Titans' home clash against the Knights last year.

In the 12-month period, the Titans' total crowds for their 14 home games, according to the annual report, was 237,527.

Yet the club's total attendances based on game-day announcements was 251,324.

The extra 13,979 spectators equates to a beefed-up attendance of nearly 1000 fans, on average, per home game.

On five occasions, the Titans' game-day crowd announcement exceeded the relevant annual report figure by more than 1500 fans.

A Stadiums Queensland spokesman said the organisation would look into the reasons for wildly fluctuating crowd figures at Titans home games.
