Crowd Watch perth offcuts

[oval]

If Perth had a team it’d die within a decade. Why? Because there’s no local juniors and no history of league aside from a failed venture. Therefore no one will show up to games unless they’re playing like Melbourne, and even then their crowds would barely surpass the Sydney average, and come nowhere near the Sydney total. People like the bore from England can bang on all they like about crowds in the heartland of rugby league, but really it’s because they know deep down they’re doomed to watching the great game on the telly from 4000kms away.

Because the heartland of rugby league is going so very well with crowd numbers..... Clearly the only city that has local sports playing on weekends and those shopping centre sales must be booming this time of year.

Even an established Perth team could stake claim to getting 10-15k+ crowds regularly and the exposure of an expansion team increases the value of the game and TV rights without any sacrifice to crowd averages I daresay. In the first year? No. But expansion is a patient long game, not sure the NRL is ready for that leap just yet. It would impact crowd numbers in the short term but with time it may turn that into a positive impact, as the Storm has done.

Perth Red just reaching for the heart starters.Think of the children.
He'll come back and blitzkreig us with graphs ,maps, computer projections ,pictures of kiddies dressed up as pirates from a 6 year old's party, and a 10 year supply of Sydney clubs' crowd figures to push his "argument.".

You have absolutely no idea if any of what you’re saying is true.
Also, there is a thriving junior rugby league competition in Perth, the city has a history of supporting its sporting teams and there is more than enough corporate support to sustain an nrl team. If you don’t attempt to grow the sport, it will never grow!
