North Sydney oval has been ruled out for the home game in against Manly. Norths wanted it there originally , but it was decided with NSO's capacity of around 13,000 these days & no plans to increase that ....
it wasn't closeto big enough to cater for the demand for this game.NSO will get a pre season trial instead
The premiership match be at Allianz , just across the harbour from the old stamping ground
42500 seats , & every seat will go

Round 1
V Warriors in early March at optus oval ... I'd say a saturday night game , 5.30pm kickoff in Perth ..7.30pm in the east
should get over 40,000
Round 2 away .. but not in Sydney.
Round 3 V Manly in Sydney ...
lock it in

common sense prevails with no playing at North Sydney Oval
Be brilliant to see them at SFS
Im hoping the NRL pushes the WA Government to upgrade stadium..
Camera Side is quite average at HBF
