2016 Crowd Watch

FFS you clown
It doesn't matter that it didn't happen
It matters that it still could.
The NRL needs to change the policy to treat all club's & fans equally & until it does the problem is still there.

Got it?

Jesus f**king Christ Dave.

LET IT GO.

When the policy is changed

Maybe you should take it up with the raiders management to approach the nrl to reconsider the policy. Surely they need to be the ones to do this if it's an issue for the club and it's members.

Same answer I gave to the other sydneysider who's club isn't affected

When the policy is changed.

 

[Timmah]

That would make sense if I lived in Sydney. lol

They have already
As has the ACT govt
Both got nowhere

They need to continue to push for the change
As do disgruntled fans like me. : )

 

[Raiderdave]

Meh
NSW then
Apparently we're part of NSW according to the NRL
An outer suburb of Sydney no less
A very ... outer suburb. lol

I think it needs to be changed the other way.

All finals to be played either in the SFS or Homebush. Its a return to tradition and really celebrates Sydney as the home of rugby league.

The Sydney teams are already disadvantaged by the fact that they have to compete within Sydney for a fan base. The non-Sydney teams have a monopoly over fans and the economy in their respective domains.

In a way, it restores the balance and there should be no complaints.

This is literally the first preliminary final we have qualified for in the history of the nrl.

We make a couple in week 1 and we can pressure the nrl. For the moment though I'll take a f**king preliminary final in Melbourne, Sydney, the moon, the bottom of the ocean I really do not care.

I think Canberra is far enough away from Sydney to be a separate home region but this point has been moot for decades, literally decades. Even this year we lost that right in week 1

We don't have a monopoly at all, we have to compete with the Brumbies and AFL.

 

[Pete Cash]

Also it is a fair trip between Canberra and Sydney. I did it to watch the game on the weekend.

Obviously it's not north Queensland to Brisbane but it's just long enough to be an annoying trip for the Saturday game and impossible for the Friday for me

 

[myrrh ken]

We don't have a monopoly at all, we have to compete with the Brumbies and AFL.

Not a good argument. We have that plus 2 A-League teams and 2 proper AFL teams.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Not a good argument. We have that plus 2 A-League teams and 2 proper AFL teams.

and over 10 times our population

So you should be okay then.

 

[Pete Cash]

Well yeah I live in Sydney. So it's better for me personally but I think Canberra is far enough from Sydney to play out of Canberra.

Lol
You are a special kind of mong aren't you lol

 

[Hoofhearted]

Both games appear to be selling ok, Only corners and the very back available at AAMI, some sections at Allianz are either sold out or single seats only.

 

[Sharkman05]

Anyone know how many tickets have been sold for Friday ?

 

[Brutus]

Nice crowd for the Canberra v North Sydney semi on Fox at the moment.
Gawd I miss those big afternoon SFS finals crowds.
The ground looks packed.

 

[Timmah]

39,965 that afternoon. 34k for Manly v Canberra the week before, too.
