Can we all finally accept that stadiums are better than suburban parks?

That was the year teh Swans came in to Sydney, and since then Union has gone pro and the A League started up.
It's always good to look in hindsight.
If that had happened rugby league in this city would have ben well and trul stuffed, based on today's realities.The SL war repercussions and aftermath reinforce that view.
Shire not interested in Union and AFL...Soccer maybe.

Why does shark park need a capacity of 25k?

Seriously?
Regular season on average
Roosters don’t get that many
Souths don’t get that many
Storm don’t get that many
Raiders don’t get that many (?)
Parra don’t get that many
They all play out of 25k stadiums.

Added to:-
The Broncos play out of a 50,000 capacity, and their average is 30K. 3/5 full.
A one team rl heartland city.and people bag Sydney clubs. Give me another lemon to chew on.

Good to say that's a true post about our game.

Juniors don't but bum on seats me laddy

Juniors help put bums on seats, now and in the future .Having first hand knowledge of anything gives you a leg up.I see stacks of kids at Shark's games.
Oh and they buy merchandise also.You know that little thing called club revenue.
Well looking at some of the clubs with lesser juniors, it hasn't helped them bump up bigger averages.

I'm all for the Sharks to prove themselves in a rather nice coastal part of Sydney unlike the Dirty Dogs

So you understand though I doubt it,removing clubs or attempting to ,does nothing for the code.
The code had about $25m in the bank prior to SL,and was vying with Fumbleball for top sport in this country.The whole $25m went into the pockets of players who remained loyal to the ARL.

Purge the merkins then...1995 was a mental and remarkable year for Rugby League and sadly Rugby Union..1996 Union and Lockett has moved in.

Shire is very interested in soccer,They have the largest number of juniors in the country.

Union and fumbles is played here .They are certainly no threat with a Shark's team ,without one who knows where people head, they certainly don't jump on board another NRL club.

Well I suggest to send off an SMS to Rupert and tell him where to go and get knotted,a nd thanking him for rogering the code ,when it was firing on all cylinders.
Union went pro due to the SL war and the threat of losing their top players.
The Swans got a leg up when clubs got flicked and the SL war was in full swing.

Would they still stay fans of the NSW blues origin team and the Kangaroos?

There are people who live for their club only, who have lesser interest in SOO and the Kangaroos.So I cannot see either of the latter two benefiting one iota.
