NRL on track to open Perth stadium as first sporting match

[El Diablo]

No one is doudting AFL people are against it. That's the funny part.

you said it was only one guy

 

[gallagher]

you said it was only one guy

Barry Cable isn't in the media. He's an ex afl player.

 

[El Diablo]

who the media have gone too

 

[Perth Red]

Of course AFL fans are not happy, we should rejoice at this! Of course some in the media in an AFL city will be AFL fans, doh. However the announcement was positive throughout the WA media and apart from a couple of opinion pieces it has been reported positively and certainly doesn't back up a tin foil hat conspiracy that the WA media is anti RL.
It is apathetic to NRL but its apathetic to any sport that Perth doesn't have a team in.

So one media guy. Cheers

Who? Me? I've only mentioned the Perth media.
I don't follow AFL at all. Is this your standard response to follow up a stupid post you put up?

 

[gallagher]

My mistake. I don't come on here often enough to know who the trolls are.
But bloody hell, is this guy the best here?

I thought a Barry Cable was something sold at Bunnings.

 

[El Diablo]

[Timmah]

One dickhead in one paper doesn't mean everyone's against it.

 

[El Diablo]

FMD

[gallagher]

Lol. Frantically searching the Web to win a argument on a forum.
I suppose there's not much to do in mums basement.

 

[Perth Red]

Now i hate the afl, and always love getting one up over them, but nrl matches opening the new stadium is just wrong.

West Australians have been waiting for this stadium for decades. Both freo and the eagles have consitently sold out subiaco oval for years. Every derby game they've had to turn away tens of thousands because they've never had a suitable stadium. It's been a long slog for them to get their stadium, and for all the talk about big events coming to the stadium it's main role/purpose is afl games, and for it to open with a sport that the majority of west aussies simply dont care about is a bit of a kick in the teeth.

Imagine if the opening of the revamped suncorp was done by an old nsl soccer match? Us league fans would be ropable

I went to the re-opening of Lang Park and had to watch the drongos play drugcastle.

The people of Perth can suffer also.

Rugby league at oval grounds is the worst for anyone in the crowd

The simple way for fumble ball to overcome this problem ,was to bring forward their comp by a fortnight.
The NRL was going to stage the 9s there ,before it was knocked on the head.It was hardly a secret.
So the fumblers with all their expertise failed to get of their behinds(sic) and reschedule.

Ironic they have had no problems in stuffing up our final series at ANZ in the past(so we play 2nd fiddle), because of booking the ground early fior the Swans should they make it.

I frankly wouldn't have cared if they opened the new stadium, they are the biggest code in that state.However if they are slow off the mark(sic) to organise something,.like our NRL is famous for,I have as much sympathy for them as i do with Kim Kardashian getting her jewellery nicked.

Barry Undersea Cable should be blasting the AFL and Gil McSporran.
