So now you've moved your jealousy to the raiders, one of the most financially secure teams in the comp?

And of course the geographically challenged AFL fan living 4000km away in Perth realises that the raiders are supported by people throughout country nsw who don't have the luxury of jumping on a bus or train for a short commute to a game.
Your only relevant because of pokies, nothing to be proud of. Crowds lower than Perths. I can see why your worried about another big city club coming in lol

Typical AFL fan, when being made to look like a dill bring up crowds.

As I've said previously, afl is a cult, and members of cults are expected to attend cult events.

The problem with this argument (if you want to call it that - I’d say it is more personal vendettas if anything) is that both sides of the coin are suggesting that their bids are all positive and that there are no negatives.

The idea that either option (Perth or NZ 2) are a slam dunk is absolutely ridiculous and completely disingenuous. They have positives and negatives as do all of the bids.
Not true, before the trolls hijacked the place we had many reasonable conversations about the pros and cons of the possible next bid locations.

Some people want to though.
And plenty of time we do, then along comes the likes of green, pippen, pneuma and gobby To add nothing and just troll. I’ve seen dozens of them come and go over the years.
We’ve been on here discussing expansion for over a decade, nothing much hasn’t been discussed lol

basically the trolls argument, despite evidence to the contrary is
1. Perth is afl and no one likes RL
2. Perth is too far away and costs a lot to get there
3. perth has no rl fans
4. reds were cut so we should never go back
5. perth has no jnrs

pretty much rinse and repeat any of those arguments over the years

So I'm not allowed to talk about Perth's lack of juniors, lack of support, geographical isolation and other negatives?

It's all got to be sunshine and lollipops otherwise you have a hissy fit and call people trolls.

Seems perfectly reasonable.

I'm happy to have serious expansion conversation, the issue is if you post something that is logical and against Perth, the pelican calls you a troll, cries or has a meltdown.
Saying reds got a crowd avg of 6k (which is untrue) 25 years ago and this shows no interest in NRL in perth in 2023 isn’t serious, logical or legit. It’s just a typical troll statement thrown out by your like.

Wikipedia:
"After declaring that the club may not have the financial resources to compete in the 1996 ARL Optus Cup, a major sponsorship with the Rupert Murdoch-owned Sunday Times gave the club some much needed money. By mid 1996 club support had dwindled to just over 6,000."
