$8 million myth

Why are people claiming the one off payment of $8 million to relocate to the central coast is meant to be the saviour of South Sydney when in reality after 4 years at Telstra they will earn nearly $5 million and if they were to re-sign for another period this would nullify the short term gain of $8 million.

I wonder what Dr Death's attitude to a Bunnies/Gosford move is. He's a big campaigner for the CC.

You think playing infront of 6,000 in an 80,000 seat stadium is a good long term plan?

after last night there would only be one fan - how bad are they?

Exactly. They'd be foolish to take the bait.

With a competitive team they could easily at least be averaging 16,000.

Don't even think about it Souths, it is fool's gold.

Do you honestly think Souths are going to draw 6000 fans a game for the next couple of years. We should be more worried about the crowds Melbourne are going to draw when they hit the longer rungs of the table. A winning Melbourne team gets 8-10,000 a winning Souths team would get 18-25,000.

They are a disgrace.


And before any Souths fans want to start whinging.....all I have to say is that after protesting in the streets of Sydney to get your rotten club back.....getting them back in a move that has hurt the game....and then refusing to turn up after just a few years....you deserve all the bagging you get.

I think he'd give us a first hand example of the definition of hypocrite.

:lol:

If North Sydney were competing against the Central Coast in a bid for the NRL.

He'd death ride the Central Coast as well.

Souths play in the biggest Rugby League city in the world in a great stadium and get alot of media exposure.



And they still cant draw a crowd.


If Melbourne had all of that in Melbourne they'd be drawing 40,000+ live their afl teams do.

But your not counting any monies they would get by playing at the Central Coast, even if it's half the money they would get by playing out of telstra then they would still be far better off taking the $8million. Thats not including extra merchanidise sales etc that they would get by entering a new market.

I reckon they should go to the Central Coast.

What a steaming pile of crap!

You Souths fans are an ungreatfull bunch of whingers. You have your team back and you dont show up.


And dont give me this stuff about winning. Hoping that bandwagon support will eventually turn up to wins that are not going to happen is pathetic.

There will be so many empty seats at Telstra next year it will be more comfortable there than my living room.
If only they would show a tigers away game on the big screen, I might even go watch a Souths game!
All Souths need is 15,000 people that think like me!

I go most weeks, I travelled an hour and half to Brookvale to watch that farce 3 weeks ago.

Don't call me or any other Souths fans ungrateful. It's not a luxury to have our team back, it's a nescessity. We shouldn't have been kicked out in the first place.

Question...Have YOU been to every Penrith game in Sydney this year?

6500......6000.....


You dont get a free pass.


You people walked through Sydney p*ssing and moaning to get your stinking ****ing club back.

A legal loophole saw them come back.


Now...you people dont even go to games and when you do....you think you deserve a ****ing medal.




Souths fans are a pathetic bunch. They dont deserve to have a team and this game would be better off without them.
