Nah they’ve earned it

Capacity wise it’s still ok

A Canberra prelim in Sydney whilst storm Brisbane or cowboys can play at home is an injustice

You have to wonder, even if:
- Raiders started selling games elsewhere.
- NRL blocked any prelims.
- The 3 rectangular codes agreed no internationals or rep games until a stadium is built.

Would that even be enough? Barr would probably just buy more AFL games.

Canberra gives us back water Aussies a great insight into what happens in the NFL and how they negotiate stadium upgrades with the local governments

Imagine 10 other big cities in Australia offering the raiders a brand new stadium to relocate

Barr and the ACT gov would build a new stadium very quickly if they knew other city's could take the raiders

As someone who's been participating in these thread long enough to drink legally in America (I used to run from the living room to the computer room and fire up the modem to post attendances back in the day lol), it kind of amazes me the standards people have now.

Shit's out of this world, and even a little bit of regression would not be awful as long as the trend over several years go up. Like, what happens if we get another year like 2022 in Sydney in regards to precipitation? As long as it doesn't collapse, good!
Very sage words

It wasn't that long ago we could post crowds of 6000 at the SFS on a. Stand alone Sunday

We can still do better though

Broncos vs Souths is selling far better than the Parramatta fixture. The Reyno and Bennett factors help.

A few seats are held for a new 3 game membership pack that is currently being flogged, but restricted view should be put up tomorrow or Wednesday.

Looking like 40.5k-41.5k

Taking into account the error in last year's Monday Expert:
After Round 21
2024: 156 games Aggregate 2,969,537 Average: 19,035
2025: 156 games Aggregate 3,094,714 Average: 19,825

up 4.2%

For a main season record 3,939,710 are needed or an extra 844,996 or an average of 17,604
an average of 18,860 is needed to reach 4 M for the first time

Warriors home game against the Dolphins is on track for a sell out, with less than a thousand tickets left in the Southern stand.

Their other two home games (Dragons + Eels) are selling strongly as well.
