So.. why did Melbourne move this particular game to NZ?
Seems odd.
At what point can the ARLC say that crowds arent good enough and the licence should be stripped from those owners??
(im not suggesting move the team out of Canberra, but are the current operators really the best people to run the club there? Canberra people just seem emotionally dislocated from the team and the club doesnt seem to be doing much to remedy this...)

The only people who say that the crowds are unacceptable are the derricks on here. You don't hear a peep out of the ARLC who know that an empty seat in a stadium is another pair of eyes on a TV, where the real money is.
WC Eagles got $16mill (net) revenue from bums on seats last season, far far more than any nrl clubs earn from eyes in front of tv's. It doesn't have to be an either or as the afl is showing, you can earn a motza from attendances and just as much from TV. Makes for a good excuse though to hide how embarrassing some crowds are becoming.

How good is the AFL
Some jerkoff on a forum claiming the ARLC don't care about crowds, doesn't confirm your long held bias

Given the arlc are responsible for the fan unfriendly fixtures, lack of marketing, lack of membership support, lack of support to help clubs financially be able to reduce ticket prices and no idea about if they want big empty stadiums or run down half empty stadiums it would be pretty tough on the clubs to blame them to the point you'd drop them.
