2018 Crowd Watch

its Charnwood by the sea

Is that near echo beach far away in time

 

[carcharias]

not the point here
a Sydney expert on Canberra (LoL) claimed we're a country town with everything as close as a walk to the corner store

but lets try his 12 times worse traffic theory shall we ?
12 X 40 mins
any 8 hour round trips in Sydney ?

40 mins is nothing
It takes me 40 to get from Engadine to Hurstville every single morning.

He was being generous too
I reckon Sydney traffic is 20 times worse than Canberra.
I have gone to work in Canberra since the 90’s.
Piece of piss to get around compared to here.

only a twit would live there LOL

closely populated
LOL
Canberras most Nthn Suburb .. Moncrief & its most Sthn .. Gordon /Banks
are 45kms apart

now who knows nothing about anything

This coming from an apparent expert on Sydney geography and transport issues.Pot calling Kettle in operation champ.
Cronulla to Penrith 72kms

Takes you an 1 1/2 hrs to get there does it?

By comparison to a well laid out transport infrastructure and by comparison within the total area compared to Sydney's, it is closely populated transport wise to Brucie Stadium.

Double post.

 

[taipan]

ah
Perth population 2.1 Million people
the Shire 210,000

theres a difference Id think right there

ACT population 403,466(twice the Shires)
Crowds averaging about 11-12,000
Maybe Perth deserves a team that appreciates rugby league.

BTW density Canberra 1,300 per square mile
Sydney 1,237 per square mile.
I repeat Canberra closely populated.

 

[myrrh ken]

Banks to GIO is 28 mins according to Google maps.

Trying to stretch it out are we?

 

[carcharias]

Parts of Sydney are woeful
My part is unreal
I can be down the south coast in 1/2 hr
I can walk to the train station and be in town in 1 hr
Or the airport.
I’m 5 mins drive from the Royal National Park .
I can be on the expressway heading west in 30 mins.
Heading north...not so flash.

LOL Politicians the dregs of humanity spend a lot of time living and bonking in Canbraaaaa.Are they twits or halfwits?

 

[Mister M]

If the NRL has learnt there lesson from having a side in an 'isolated geographical location', it will never place a team in Perth. Perth is one of the most geographically isolated cities in the world.

ah
Perth population 2.1 Million people
the Shire 210,000

Not sure what a 'locations' internal population has to do with how geographically isolated it is?

Perth is over 2,150km away from another city of over 1 million people, thus according to Bill Bryson makes Perth the most geographically isolated 'major' city in the world.

But continue your rant about how everyone other than Canberra is shit, rather than actually contribute anything that resembles intellectual thought.

 

[horrie hastings]

The mere thought of trying to cross the spit bridge on a weekend gives me the shts

I would say thats a massive factor for any manly home game

Crossing the Spit bridge any day of the week would give me the sh*ts.

Good to hear that ticket sales for Origin 1 are tracking towards 80k. I can just see the media focusing in on the 13k that weren't there from three years ago though....

Over to you Kellie Underwood

80k would be an excellent result given the outrageous pricing this year.

Takes about that long to get out of Bondi on a hot summers day

 

[Billythekid]

80K would be a good crowd IMO. I'm just dreading the next few weeks of NRL crowds as SOO gets underway. Sucks that we still have this massive interruption to the season.

I'm desperately hoping the standalone weekend is a monstrous success so that the NRL will FINALLY give SOO the 3-4 week standalone period it needs both for the strength of SOO and the NRL. It will be one of the greatest things that ever happens to our game in this country IMO.

If and when more teams are added and we have a 18 or 20 team comp, that also means their will potentially be more games, I wouldn't mind seeing the season spit in 2, and having a "break" mid way. that way there wouldn't be any need for byes, origin and other rep games could slot into this period, and teams get to have a refresher

It would be interesting to see if teams that went bad in the first half, come back with a new game plan and smashed it in the second half

 

[Raiderdave]

Thurs .. 6K maybe ( yikes )
Fri ... 12K ( a shame , it should be double that )
Sat ... 10K ... no effect by origin , but a pack of busteds playing another pack of busteds at an unpopular venue
Sun 12K ... an enticing encounter , the Tigers will like their chances of making it 2-0 against the chooks in 2018

Definitely man.
18-20 Team Comp
22 Rounds split in the middle for a 3 Week Origin period. Pacific Cup tournament during that period. It would also solve the issue of the Kiwis n poms playing a mid year test. Solve player fatigue.

Going to work from Peakhurst to redfern every morning and back was a bastard so I know Sydney is a bugger to get a round.
