I have never stated I 'know" emphatically anything champ.Yet you are quite prepared to make commitments/statements for what is going to happen in the 2023 deal re the NRL and how much expansion is likely to cost.You are guessing.
You are completely ignoring the state of FTA TV in this country.The state of or lack of consumer confidence and the cost of living.You live in a bubble.
Any business would take the extra money, but businesses worth their salt ,would also need to be aware sometimes costs can run well and truly over budget as the Nth fumble expansion has shown,remember etc AFL lost $3m thereabouts last year.They are hardly Warren Buffet.What happens if there is a huge drop in the next TV deal with fumbleball? The new clubs are not going to be laughing ?
" Successfully expanded" North re the Swans more like it, and they can thank the SL war else they may well be in deep sh*t.
The Lions are losing money hand over foot and crying out for extra loot,both the Suns and Gnats are sucking in money, and other Melbourne clubs are struggling whilst this AFL largesse is being used elsewhere.
The TV ratings are crap in the North,do I have to repeat it?You still can't accept it.How long have the Swans been here 30 plus years.
Compare the monies AFL received for 18 teams(the length of time and ad opportunity for that code) with the money the NRL received with 16 teams' a lot less ad time, and the NRL more than matched the AFL.
I'm getting it from comments the AFL ponchos have made re NZ, the opportunities they have claimed ,the money they have expended, yet they have withdrawn because the NZ public have indicated they are not interested.
Similar comment Sheedy made in the past, and the AFL /Koch made re China.They lied about the crowd in attendance,notice you ignored that point completely because it side it suits your anti NRL H/O agenda.
Here you are guessing once again ,you have zero idea how much a 9 game would cost the NRL ATM.The NRL are borrowing $30m in order to pay the clubs the 130% ,which will be repaid out of the next Tv deal from 2018.Newcastle and Titans in addition to the money the NRL has already expended is costing the NRL $2m pa each in addition to grants.Dragons owe $6.5m
You are somehow making an assumption the NRL would gather X amount of money for a 9th game.Gyngell who initially thought it would since backtracked.The same Gyngell who ran ch9.
I think you need to go into more detail so he can understand
