18th club, whose next?

Jets went 40 years ago, does anyone in Sydney still care?

They average 8972 per game which is decent

Yes they do.

You'd think an expert on Sydney would know this.

Don't know if your joking or not.

What does a Pirate or Bear have to to with Perth? They can modify their jersey and colours for the NRL, doesn't have to be blue and white.

What does a Raider have to do with Canberra, a Tiger to Wests Tigers, a Dragon to St George, a Panther to Penrith, a Titan to the Gold Coast etc ffs

There all good sells mate, but no home games away from W.A. for me, this is after all a W.A. team, and should play all their home games in W.A.
Possibly 81` GF replay in Darwin if Perth Reds (that`s what I`d call them) want to create some pathways up there.

1 game wouldn't really bother me. A lot of clubs play a home game elsewhere. Or like my tigers who take about 6 elsewhere

I’m disappointed in you

you are one person I expected to understand this

They post that figure every game at Henson . I think it was the crowd at their last top grade match there. Not sure if WB knows its a piss take.

 

[Pneuma]

Anybody who doesn’t know where 8972 comes from knows nothing about the jets

Too smart for me

This is Henson Park

There’s no rugby league experience quite like a Newtown Jets home game. The big stadiums will never be able to match the charm, passion and community spirit of a place like Henson, a beacon of suburban footy.

it’s a Newtown thing. That’s the offical crowd for every game

I’m hoping Perth red sees my quote and uses that figure when channel 7 interview him

lmao

Exactly. The logo/branding issue is seriously overestimated. The biggest thing is the games in Sydney part. No home games in Sydney for a WA side.

The whole point of a Western Australian side or a Brisbane side or wherever is to target the area that the side it is meant to represent.

As I have said, initially it may be a good idea to play one or two games in Sydney but overtime you want to build that fortress in WA, you want teams to hate travelling across to play there.
Like look at a game against Manly at North Sydney Oval, sure initially but after a few years why travel across Australia and give Manly virtually an extra home game.

Newtown and the Bears are consistently good crowd pullers, very decent crowds when they play each other.

Brian chicka Moore was actually the Marshall of my old school after I left

I yelled it out at a newtown game once he turned around to look

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Its the pirate bears for me, logo is much better.

whats your point? maybe read what i was replying to jackass

 

[docbrown]

I would see the value of East Coast teams to Perth being in a feeder role only.

Given how notoriously parochial the WA is, they need there own brand to work.

Well it seems like the WA government don't seem to think that.
