TBH I don’t see Jubilee as “a cow paddock”.
The playing surface is like a billiard table for a start.
The only thing outdated is that it has a hill. But plenty of grounds have a hill.

I sit on the top level of the stand, maybe that colours my view.
And it's an oval. Just saying...

You people wouldn't know a good looking ground if it bit you in the arse.

Just because there's a hill it doesn’t mean it's a shit ground. Kogarah is a beautiful ground to look at and watch football.

.
Some people like big new stadiums, some people like sitting on a hill with a tinny. I’m a hill and a tinny kind of guy. And if the game was moved to a bigger stadium further from home I’d watch the game on the Tv at home. F trecking into the city to sit in a half empty stadium and getting home after midnight.

Suncorp Stadium is very close to having floodwaters enter. I think we might see flooding similar to 2022 levels, that year the Stadium was ready to go in 8 days due to works done post 2011 to allow for quick clean up after future flood events. This is storm water rather than a muddy river flood, so it's relatively 'clean'.

Our home game against the Cowboys is about 150 seats from a sell out on ticketek with about 1,500 seats held on the Broncos membership platform which will probably be slowly released onto ticketek sometime soon. I'm hopeful that this will not be the third derby in a row rained out.

The Broncos rep needs to open level 7 to the Tigers game in round 5 too - the cheaper seats in levels 3 and 5 have sold out.

-- note with Broncos attendances. Broncos flexi members have a timeframe to opt into their 4-6 games. We will see a few sold out games this year however the seats might not be redeemed, and subsequently resold in time. With the removal of GA areas, I think our sold out games will max out to about 47-50k, rather than 42-45k like the last few years.

Looking ahead to some of the games this coming weekend:

Knights v Dolphins:
In the lower bays, 2 - 10 and 50 - 59 are pretty much down to single seats or sold out. On the western upper, 66 is down to single seats, whilst 64, 65, 67 and 68 are down to limited seats. 16 - 18 on the eastern upper is in a similar spot. Possibly sitting around the 16K mark currently. Hopefully will push up towards 20K by kick off.

Warriors v Sea Eagles:
Eastern upper corners (Bays 1,2 & 9) are the only ones with any significant portion of seats at Auckland. In the southern stand, there's very few seats left in the southern lower (21-23 pretty much gone, 19 & 20 majority filled). Match is well placed for 20K+. Hopefully we see them push for another sell out.

Panthers v Roosters
Panthers have pushed majority of their members into the TV arc, which should look decent on TV. In the lower bowl, 111 - 119 are sold out or down to single seats. 214 - 216 are selling into the final rows, whilst 213 & 217 are majority sold. Behind the in-goals, 105-108 and 121-124 are possibly half allocated. Most of the corporate side is sold out, so match would be around 12K-14K allocated so far. Unfortunate that the Roosters suffered such a heavy defeat last week, they have a decent supporter base out west.

Raiders v Broncos
Not sure if the Raiders are just holding back a lot of bays for memberships, but if not, this game is selling strongly. Going off Ticketek, the black are what bays are currently sold out or down to single seats, whilst the grey are bays that are 80% allocated.

If panthers can average over 15k at commbank that decent given the example of other clubs taking home games out of their area isn’t great

I'll say it again...

Roosters/souths/dragons/tigers to play each other twice a year every year at SFS.

In our case it enables us to take more games against lower drawing teams to Gosford or elsewhere.

Beyond that, souths should be there full time.

I would also look at Manly and sharks having the odd game there, potentially against each other. They are traditional rivals and the stadium is in between each supporter base.
It's really starting to do my head in (not being at the SFS).

Anecdotally, I see a lot of 50+ year olds at our games, and then a lot of young families (30-40 somethings with their kids - the bracket I fall into). I don't see a lot of 20-somethings.

That's the generation gap I see Souths face at games, and to me 90% of that problem is Olympic Park. As a club we're losing a culture of attendance IMO.

I'm a tragic and I remember in my early twenties - admittedly we weren't a very good team then - but it was nigh impossible to get my mates to come to the footy on a Friday or Saturday night. They would happily go to Shark Park (then Northies after), SFS (then the city after) or even to Parra (then a myriad of food/drink options after) though.

There is nothing to do in Homebush. Not just the area. It's the stadium, too.

There is nothing to entice you to go to a shitty match in the middle of July at the cost of $60-70 a ticket. Sure, some tickets are $20, but you're 100m+ from the field and the experience is so poor it's not worth the attendance.

The other thing being that Accor is an event stadium, with a large number of events happening over summer into March, and as such all Souths home games tend to get sandwiched there during the dull middle period of the season when crowds across the board in Sydney struggle.

We really, really, need to get out of there.

Unfortunately the Raiders are worst at holding good seats for new memberships....
