Regardless of expansion or not they were just dumb comments
Yes, they bagged the crap out of the city and it's League audience, but it may stir up a few more people there to attend to spite Vossy and co.
That being said, I would've been mighty pissed off had they bagged League in WA the way they bagged SA.
News Ltd are just as bad http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,25346510-12428,00.html
A lot of people I have been trying to persuade to come to the game are EXTREMELY pissed off by the comments. Those who didn't watch them last night (the NRL footy show was straight after the AFL footy show) have heard about it and are basically telling league to go f**k itself if that's what they think.
A lot of people here like to watch league (not that they get much chance with Nines stupidly late coverage) and would have gone to the game. What a stupid stupid thing to do!
As for who to support. It has to be the Sharks as they are the ones who will be playing here for the next 3 years!
So instead of taking the expected 20 AFL fans to the game (I have been working on them for months) that number is down to 10 now. Adelaidians are just as proud of their city as Sydneysiders and this pissed them off.

That show and in fact all free to air rugby league is on so late in Adelaide that anyone half interested wouldn't bother. Only die hard league fans would. Channel Nine Adelaide would rather show crap movie reruns than a top of table clash at a decent hour.
I can't help but feel there is some kind of conspiracy agreement within Channel Nine preventing the promotion of rugby league in Adelaide.
