They get 20k in Newcastle. Why would they want to do that?

because if they start drawing people from the central coast they would potentially up that from 20k to 25k.
I also think they would get 20k in Gosford.

Because they are well supported in their hometown and are better off playing to 12 good home crowds a year. Many over 20,000. Geographically Gosford is closer to Sydney.
Mergers don’t really work or at least putting too many names in a team.
Better off getting an unpopular club there.
Not that I’m suggesting it.
Etc

Those are valid points but I disagree with all of them. I say the best way to get the CC a team to unify behind is to get the Knights in there.

I think CC people are much more like Newcastle people than they are like any suburban Sydney people.

Yes unless you mean by sea or as the crow flys.
Wyong to Newcastle is about 35 minutes by car or train.
Additionally there is continuity between Newcastle and the CC. There is an hour of mountains and dense scrub between the CC and Sydney.

I actually cant stand the idea of the Roosters trying to take over central coast. I just cant see the connection. The Knights should take over the CC.

Knights should NOT be moving games. We do very well in Newcastle.

Other teams should be moving the GamesVsKnights to the CC.

Knights games in Sydney struggle to draw 10k. Knights games in Gosford would go close to selling out.

Seems like the SYDNEY clubs should be moving games...

Yes great to see the West rise again and be great if Bulldogs and West's could get it right and what happened to that Ultra Soccer team who was meant to be the biggest team out West ?
