2016 Crowd Watch

I am flying into Canberra on Monday and realised there is a game on v Cowboys. Just looking at going, ticket for a decent seat $38 but what is really swaying me is how easy it will be to get from hotel to game and back. At Moment it looks like only easy option is taxi which is showing $37 each way. $115 to a see a game missing the star players has me undecided if to go or just hang out in the hotel bar and watch it on tv.
Wait at a bus stop for Blake Austin to pick you up.

What are the predictions for tonight? Top 4 side against a fun to watch hopeful top 8 side (no origin stars of course) 18k?

I suppose 16k is a massive success in the mediocre universe of blind optimism that we apparently all need to be part of for the good of the game.

I've always thought you could get NRL fans to travel to Qld if you put back to back games at Brisbane and the Gold Coast at the right time of year. For instance Parr v Titans on Sunday arvo then Parra v Broncos the following Friday night.
Have the team camp on the Gold Coast and run clinics or whatever, Parra fans have a week on the Gold Coast.

I'll pick you up & take you

Hell... I'll even let you use one of our members passes that another family member isn't using

Where can I collect you ?

All you ever do is knock Sydney and Canberra crowds.
"If I had a team nothing would stop me going"
"Excuses excuses"
"Bush league" etc etc

When people try and explain the challenges that stop them attending, you roll your eyes and refuse to accept them as true barriers that need addressing. Time slots. Weather. Origin affected. Prices. Traffic. Transport. TV. Competing events.
None of these are good enough for you.

Now this season the NRL brings a game to Perth, and you go to watch cars drive in a circle, and then you come to Canberra and won't go unless you get a $10 ticket to a corporate box with limosine transport included.

Canberra is a great little stadium but it's in the middle of the bush (literally. It is in bushland) with zero public transport. It will be freezing and yes no origin stars. There will still be 7,000-9,000 hearty souls there though.

Ps as already mentioned, buy GA and you can walk to sit almost wherever you want. And I'm pretty sure there are buses that will either take you direct to the ground or very close.

But you're giving it your best with that effort.

No, seriously, your best post ever.
I'm only trying to keep up with you , posts with no insight , no actual information, no knowledge, inaccurate, full of senseless ranting , negative to the point of obsession.

But I'm a complete amateur compared to you.
I bow to you.
This is your domain sir.
You're on a level all by yourself , even Perth Red blushes at your posts

My posts have plenty of insight, information, knowledge of the game and truth. The fact you are too stupid and ignorant to comprehend them is irrelevant. You and the other circle jerkers will be on here spurting over Greenberg and his mates even when the game is practically dead and bitching if anyone dares criticise anything they do. The kool aid will do that to you if you're thick enough to keep drinking it. There's not even any excuses coming for why two of the most popular teams in Sydney who are supposed to be neighbours couldn't pull 20k last night. Another embarrassing empty seat fest for the sport. Old Greenberg and his 20k average by next year is looking better by the week. But you'll still love him even when it's an epic fail.

You always talk about being Independently wealthy and how you wish you had games to go to. Just pay the $115.
