Looked better than that ...

Those days when they announced 20k + must have been bullshit

Um
When was that?

Um

When Saturday night football was the hottest ticket in town at Shark Park in the mid 90s.

You sure?

It's great places like Mudgee get games but I'm lukewarm in supporting the Dragons specifically taking a game there. They already have a second home in Wollongong which gets less games than it should given how often the Dragons play in Sydney to low crowds. They are already stretched so thin.

Same with Tigers and Tamworth.

Best scenario would be some properly organised and NRL sanctioned regional rounds around Origin time.

If only we could see the old CRL jersey running around every week as a roving rural team. Wouldn't that be a sight. Probably the most supported club in NSW over time but would add little to TV rights unfortunately (plus the whole issue of already having too many NSW teams).

Actually it looked right.

13000 looked right to me. The hill was the best indicator

I get Penrith taking a game to Bathurst as they have one home. But saints to Mudgee when they have two home grounds is definitely strange.

Are you still trying to sell this bullshit?

Guessing a crowd size? Yes I’m selling it. It’s worth a fortune.

Problem with a roving team is the players have to be based somewhere for training, etc, they can't really 100% be a team on the road

We already have so many rounds so why not include another? I think it'd be fairly successful

An "expansion round" would be interesting to see as well
Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Darwin, Wellington, Christchurch, Geelong, Dunedin, Fiji, PNG, or even Asia or Hawaii are all potential locations (not saying all these places will eventually have teams, they definitely wont, but the game could use the round to try "expand" to have new fans in the area)

Call yourself a shake fan
Bag out the sharks crowds week in week out
But conveniently have some bullshit excuse for why you can’t get there.

I bagged out one crowd because it was poor.
I don’t live in nsw so I can’t get to sharks games.
I plead guilty.

Oh and yes I think our crowds have been poor this year. Today was a pass mark. No better

Fragile fella aren’t you?

Saints play in Mudgee because our dinosaur board had us in a stack of debt and we have to sell games to a regional council

Thanks. I’d forgotten that. Makes sense then.
