Picked it like a dirty noseThis crowd in Brisbane looks awesome. I’ll go with 36-37.5k

The arrangement we have with Bathurst council is pretty much just upgrade your stadium bit by bit when you can and we’ll play there for free. Our fanbase there has absolutely exploded as a result and they’ve also snagged other events like a women’s wanderers game and even an Elton John concert. Perfect partnership.

Whilst it doesn't help with crowd averages, I do love this partnership the Panthers have built with Bathurst on so many levels. Firstly, for a club focused on building pathways and developing versus buying players, building that relationship with the Central West leagues just works.The arrangement we have with Bathurst council is pretty much just upgrade your stadium bit by bit when you can and we’ll play there for free.

Secondly from a supporter base perspective, the reality is, it was always going to be hard for the Panthers to grow their fanbase significantly going east, however the Blue Mountains is growing significantly population wise. Their home ground can capture the lower mountains on a regular basis, but by playing in Bathurst, they are able to capture the other side.
10 years on from the start of the partnership, it's great to see the growth. I hope even when the new stadium is finished, the club continues to take the game west.

I hope so. Eels get over a million a year in cash to go to the NT (plus other contra including free accommodation etc), so it's easy for them to financially justify taking a game away.Parra have a 5 year old stadium, and yet they still take a home game to Darwin each year. So Penrith will still have a similar arrangement of 11 games at a new redeveloped stadium, and one match at Bathurst.
WowI hope so. Eels get over a million a year in cash to go to the NT (plus other contra including free accommodation etc), so it's easy for them to financially justify taking a game away.
They also play at a venue which was multi-tennanted prior to the rebuild, so there was no minimum commitment requirement put on them by Venues NSW.
I just hope that doesn't change with Penrith.
Wow
thought it was only 300k (pretty sure Bathurst pays that to Penrith)
The deal is worth $4 million to the Eels and Giles threatened to rip it up last year over the club's ham-fisted governance, hinting taxpayer money might be better spent elsewhere.
Last year’s ANZAC round clash between the Eels and Broncos brought $4.8m into the Territory economy, while participation numbers continue to grow in local competitions.
In the old days, each team played 22 games, eleven at home, eleven away. Early in the NRL era, when Souths were omitted, there were 14 teams, with 26 rounds.could be more. It was a 4 year deal that ended in 2017, thatr was a million a year

Parramatta Eels' major financial backer sticks by club as NT government floats more Darwin games
The Parramatta Eels' major financial backer won't walk away from the strife-torn club with the Northern Territory government trying to lure a second NRL match to Darwin next season when the Pirtek Stadium rebuild begins.www.smh.com.au
seems to be worth it to the NT Gov
Great result. Today's result will help for their game against the Wests Tigers in two weeks
could be more. It was a 4 year deal that ended in 2017, thatr was a million a year

More like 135000 by the looks of it. Pretty bloody good104,541 (17,424) average after 6 games.
Sharks should give us close to 13K in Sunday. Hopefully Bulldogs can give us similar to get us over the 130K mark.
