2024 Crowd Watch

[Wb1234]

Why would the Dragons want to move one of their biggest must win games for the last 10 years away from their home ground?

They would throw away a strong patriotic pro dragons crowd to invite another 10k Bulldogs fans to play at a neutral ground at Allianz. It would destroy every advantage they have of possibly winning the game.

Which is you know, the whole point of football. Winning games.

Make an extra one to two million bucks moving it

Huge difference between 12 home games somewhere and occasional event games that would be spread throughout the clubs. A better analogy would be to look at games like Anzac, easter show etc. where clubs take games to big stadiums and we get great crowds.

Again should be NRL controlled. Guarantees clubs dont lose money and NRl with all its resources can do it right and make some money off it when its done right.

Yes but the Easter show comes in School holidays and is a great crowd boosters but isn't as simple as putting x v x at the same venue a month later and gets the same result.

And when Members/sponsors complain to the club because game got moved and they lost the ability to go to games and clubs then what?

The clubs have always and still are community based. Atleast half of the sponsor do so to stay in touch with the local community. Clubs know this and hence play what is suitable for them. It is why Sharks can make money on a 12k crowd

I don't know TBH!

St George have been averaging 8,000 at Kogarah.

They didn't beat Melbourne till Saturday (They got flogged the week before), most tickets were gone before Saturday! So Many Bulldog supporters bought tickets ages ago (Me included).

I think the split will be St George 60/40 or at best for St George 70/30.

Hope there's room for public transport infrastructure.

Its got two train stations 5 mins away and is a 15min walk from CBD through Perth's entertainment centre. It doesnt neem any further public transport links.

Again if anything it offers a great opportunity to increase corporate support. Not only do they get 9-10 games at the home stadium but 2-3 times a year they get to enjoy a luxury corporate suite at a new stadium. Not only that but MRL could offer the away team use of corporate suites at a reduced rate giving both clubs even better opportunities.

As for members it provides great value add opportunity. Not only do you get all home stadium games, plus your teams home event games but you could get reciprocal access to away event games adding another 2-3 games a year you can see your team in your membership.

Taking 2-3 games a year down the road to better facilities doesnt destroy community. Sharks for example have shown they have more members outside the shire than they do in it.

To counterbalance it a bit all of the non Sydney clubs should have a home game at magic weekend.

Sharks dont make money on a 12k crowd. Hence why they are out buying more pokies and other revenue raising investments.
