If Souths move out, Accor could be made less sterile and a proper home for the Dogs. Deck it out in blue and white, make it more than just a little sign that says "The Kennel"

And give them more day games, its less cavernous in the daytime from personal experience.

Trust me, if we leave Accor to GWS it'll be funny at first, until they grow to the size of the Swans. Remember, the Swans were a complete flop of a club until the event the "ball" mob call "plugger's point", then their average went from 9,000 in 1994 to 35,000 in 1997. Basically they went from being free ticket flops and South Melbourne fans to a massive one team town club.

Like the Storm in Melbourne, the sport grew, and they now have a lot of "secondary support" from AFL fans who also take an interest in league.

Not many people in Sydney actually support the AFL primarily, but many league fans now take a secondary interest, especially in the Eastern Suburbs and North Sydney.

DON'T LET THEM HAVE ACCOR, IT'S A BAD IDEA

MAKE IT THE DOGS' HOME!!!!
Only reason Swans grew is the Super League war..

I agree that we need an Anzac Day eve game. Every club would do well, but I think Canberra would be the best host for it. The city swells for Anzac Day and if you scheduled it against a large Sydney club that doesn’t already have set fixtures it will draw so well IMO.

10.30pm into the dawn service would be a push for most though

snooping around ticketek its looking like a real good chance aami park sells out before tuesday

all that seems to be left is the very top 5ish rows, 10ish in the corners, obstructed view seats and the odd single seat

keeping in mind there will be 90-100k across the road its always a great effort for anzac day

I've been getting ads on YouTube for the AFL ANZAC Day Game, but I'm based in Sydney.

Made me wonder - has anyone seen any advertising at all for the NRL's biggest games in Sydney this year? Roosters and Rabbitohs, Good Friday, Easter Monday, ANZAC Day? Because I haven't.

I’ve only had ads for Origin 1 in Adelaide, which doesn’t look to be selling too well. Origin 2 is pretty much sold out, and same with magic round - all days are very close.

NRL HQ would be wise to keep up with the marketing though, just because we’re up on attendances doesn’t mean they shouldn’t flog targeted ticketing ads.

I’d think that people in Melbourne with location services on would be getting some about the Anzac Day game down there though.

Attendances are up but RL can improve their event marketing.

Having 2 locked in ANZAC Day games is a start - Both will sell out.

More events is the key. If you can get a couple of event games a month then that is best way to lift the overall crowds.

Some mentioned ANZAC eve games, personally I think it wouldn't work due to dawn services BUT that sort of stuff is worth a try instead of the Thursday night game.

Maybe it can be Newcastle or Wollongong's 'Event game' for the year

You want SGI to play Anzac Eve & Anzac Day?
We play like we are tired now without doing that to them!
