The Game 2022 Crowd Watch

Would be good but they probably won’t do that given the stadium is only half the size of ANZ. The only reason members got reciprocal rights at ANZ was because the stadium is sooo large and they’re never going to sell that out anyway for a regular season game, at least not in our lifetime anyway.

I really don’t see WTF the issue is with not letting Souths play all their home games at the SFS next year. Like from a supporters point of view why would anybody care where the opposition plays their home games. The Eels, Dogs, Rabbitohs, Tigers and even the Dragons all used ANZ as a home ground at one stage…

The chairman of Venues NSW is a Roosters supporter who has openly said he doesn't want us at Allianz and instead wants us to honour our contract at ANZ Stadium despite investment conditions in the contract not being met. The challenge with this is that now that both stadiums are under single management you are negotiating with the same party across all major stadiums.

The only way for this to change is if the minster for sport intervenes or through a change in state government next year as the minister can appoint a new board and CEO of Venues NSW if they so choose.

FWIW I thought the crowd was 60/40 to the Rabbitohs on the weekend which was also the view of the Fox commentary team when I watched the replay.

We need to be careful with Accor

If Souths leave we need dogs and tigers to make it a full time home base

Trust me that f**ker Sheppard the giants chairman wants accor for the giants in 2030 and beyond he will keep it oval if it kills him

And if it has f**k all NRL content why wouldn't the giants get it

Isn’t that f*** also part of the SCG Trust running the new stadium? Seriously how the f*** do these fumbleball turds get into positions of power

NRL and NSW Govt need to step up and commit to the rectangular conversion.

although I don’t think we need to worry about the Giants some of their games barely got 5k this year

That would be amazing if they did. Convert it to a fantastic rectangular stadium like Wembley and the city is set.

But where do Souths go if they leave Accor and btw I wasn't Souths in South Sydney.
West Tigers and Bulldogs should just move full time to Accor.

Only issue is who’s going to pay for it??? Stupid Covid munchers blew all our money on unnecessary Covid measures the last 2 years, no way they’re going to change ANZ stadium, nor should they. There’s nothing wrong with it.

I think the SFS is now a beautiful ground but it really didn’t need the sort of development that it got. It was the best ground to watch the NRL at in NSW.

I really have no issues with the AFL playing their games there. At the end of the day it’s a public ground, it doesn’t belong to anybody.

"nothing wrong with it".

Please. At the very least the ends need to be brought in 30m. The views are absolutely horrendous at the ends.

yeah but are they?

If they really wanted to use it they would have been playing there this saturday........

GWS would be using it if they made the finals.

They had a game earlier in the year, Sadly that gives them enough to stop the ends being brought it
