Why don't we go back to an all Sydney comp while we're at it?
Im not saying "dont do something similar with other venues" (If it is possible to do with the draw, id like to see all the venues and home-teams have standardised timeslots to get fans into an easy routine).
But the fact is, there are 5 teams sharing ANZ, so this could easily be a weekly thing without giving a single team a huge advantage (no team would have to host more than 5 games a year, and thats assuming Manly or Penrith don't volunteer to move a game).
It is the perfect place to have a festival-style market outside the stadium to build the game into a bigger event. Think the Easter Show or a Music Festival except this is based around Football.
This would be the NRL equivalent to the US football tailgate parties...
Not a bad idea, shared amongst Sydney teams, massive advertising revenue allocated it could be a winner ...... IF it was not such a shit venue
The venue kills the idea stone dead
As for the venue, this wouldnt be a change at all...
The ground wouldnt need to get any more game than it already does, it's just about standardising when the games are played, how and when fans should get there and what the day as a whole will be like for families or groups.
Take away the anxiety of planning the whole day and give supporters a nice relaxing day at the footy. This way you take away the need to think about any of it, you just do what youve always done to get to the sunday football game...
