Will they drop ticket prices to fill it do you think? Should I hold off for a cheapie?

I'll send you a free photocopy of my 2016 GF tickets and an unopened copy of the DVD for nothin! I'll save you time and money as well as providing you a much better result than this year's GF could possibly put up. Even toss in an old Sharkies Member's cap to help deck you out right.

The marketing decisions of rugby league must be questioned. For instance Sydney/NSW people would have filled the SFS for a Kangaroos v England (Coached by Wayne Bennet) world cup match. But no someone hasnt read/felt the 'dormant' and real interest level for such a clash? Its ludicrous the mistakes these 'marketing' people are making. Not once did I receive a survey about the upcoming world cup and questions of 'What game would you attend if it was at the SFS?' No research just go on poorly based assertions. Im aware of poor attendances of recent years in Sydney but a resurgent England with many players in the NRL and the Wayne Bennet factor would have posted a 40000 plus crowd at the SFS. And a great experience for all attending and on tv.

Your sht nsw govt thinks so little of RL that it was the ONLY state govt not to put in a serious bid to host a major game. Ffs even NT offered more! The reason you haven't got a decent game is because you elected sht pollies and because RL is so weak in NSW at lobbying. NSWRL and nrl should have been blowing up about the state govts lack of support for RLWC2017, have they said anything?

Agree with you Red however the marketing people should have given Sydney England v Australia. It would have filled the SFS with expats and myself for starters.

So they should have turned down the $1/2mill the vic Govt paid for that game so it could be played in Sydney for nothing to a crowd that would be lucky to match melbournes? There is a very poor record of fans turning out for kangaroo games in Sydney, what makes you think in a year crowds in Sydney are generally shthouse that they would suddenly reverse this trend for this game?

Airlines are doing their best to gouge the NQ fans.

Flights from TVL to SYD range from $1600 to over $2k return.

Yes Red. Melbourne 30000 compared to SFS 42000. The extra 12000 would be good coin and morale boosting for the game in Sydney.

NSW cup grand final looks like it's about 500-750 people.

Why does NSW hate sport?

QLD cup GF - 11k
VFL grand final - 30k
SANFL grand final - 25k
WAFL grand final - 20k

NSW is the worst sporting state in the country.

That is rude and I would hate to think people who support their team could be denied the chance to see their team in the big dance due to the greed of the big corporations.

Its a different set up in Sydney. The fans demand top flight status or at least cultural relevance. These things dont happen overnight. You dont flick a club and think nothing will.be damaged. (North Sydney and the merged identities of other clubs through a flawed superleague agreement)
