    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    It's certainly a speed hump but it's far from impossible to remove from the heritage registry, the Moreten Bay Fig Trees are also heritage listed and they'd be what the Perth public would want retained. The numerous concepts and masterplans presented since the mid 2000's all have the current...

    "It’s very realistic to say that we’ll have a second team in Brisbane in 2023": V'landys

    Curiously, what are people's thoughts on what will constitute an impactful debut for The Dolphins? .Crowds around 20 000 at Suncorp, nothing but sellouts at Moreton Daily Stadium? .How many social members could we assume will upgrade to Attending Members (Season tickets, 3 game ticket holders...

    Southern Orcas (NZ2)

    A fledgling Wellington NRL team playing out of the Cake Tin? Wonder what that'd do for crowds playing on an Oval. The WACA contributed to the Reds demise as Subiaco Oval destroyed a lot of the Western Force's supporter momentum. Wellington needs a boutique 15 000 seat Rectagular Stadium which...

    "It’s very realistic to say that we’ll have a second team in Brisbane in 2023": V'landys

    Any merit in a small renovation to the QASC as a short to medium term solution for a budget yet more capacity suitable stadium for the Roar, Reds and 2nd NRL Side? I'm thinking as little as *$20 million. Demolish the track and the temporary stands that boarder the track bends. Replace the bench...

    Which team should relocate to western austrlia?

    Sounds good to me. 7:30pm AWST Friday would rarely go head to head with the Perth AFL teams. Only potential issue would be Opposition clubs playing til 11:30pm on their body clocks. Then what flight to take out of Perth, stay an extra night or fly out after the game when their bodies say it's 2...

    Which team should relocate to western austrlia?

    Nonsense as usual? I just don't agree with you, when I agree with you 99% of the time. I've been on this forum for 11 years and average less than a post a month. I could be wrong as I can't find the links but I specifically remember articles and twitter comments that West Coast and Fremantle...

    Which team should relocate to western austrlia?

    Except for across the board, the Perth public hate that time slot.

    Which team should relocate to western austrlia?

    Kinda hard to find an apples to apples comparison but I believe the Bronco's have higher Brisbane views than West Coast has Perth viewers. Apparently West Coast averages 143000 Perth viewers on FTA, not sure about Fox or Kayo (WA never had the uptake of other states per capita) but I doubt it's...

    Which team should relocate to western austrlia?

    That wasn't the case in 1995 though, the membership waiting list came afterwards, thus the galvanizing of support. There was much more variance in Eagles attendance during their early 90's dominance (disregarding the WACA matches), Subi still had its standing terraces around half the ground...

    Which team should relocate to western austrlia?

    One thing I don't see getting mentioned enough is the very real potential for a second Brisbane team to be a net positive for the Broncos by galvanizing their supporter base. The added geographical competition could and should be the shot in the arm the Broncos need. One just has to look at the...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    ^^ Listen to Michael Jordan speak to the media at in the early years of his career to how he spoke in the later part. Both NRL and AFL have their natural player spokespersons but they also put some talented but shy/awkward or nervous young ones into the spotlight. Some begin to shine in the...

Germans) The Adelaide...

    2019 Crowd Watch

    It may have been that stadium management prioritised the electronic advertisement signage parallel to the field and on the oval fence line over the bumper seating. They certainly wanted a light show. If they'd used the seating, the views may have been subpar or restricted by the temporary...

    West Coast Pirates Bid News

    ^^ Yeah that's what I recall. as a West Aussie I'd certainly prefer a return of the Reds name but I understand the WARL's decision to go with the Pirates. The kids will love it.
