Do you attend a game every week?

If you live in a one club towns realistically you can only attend when your club in at home but for sydneysiders do you ever or often go to games featuring neutrals when your team is out of town that weekend?

No - I consider most other Sydney teams to be scum and wouldn't dream of giving them my hard-earned.

yes, i walk out to the backyard, pluck a few fresh bills off the money tree and spend over 100 bucks taking the family to see a side we don't support.

If the Dragons are out of town, I either spend the weekend with the junior footy or maybe head out to a Jim Beam Cup game, especially if there's a game on Friday night at The Crest ( Dunc Gray Velodrome ), which is Sydney Bulls home ground. I'll also get to some Chester Hill games this year.
I very, very seldom go to an NRL game that doesn't involve The Dragons.

When I lived in Sydney I would go to Parra games as I had season tickets and the odd Parra away game that was close by.

I would also go to the odd Roosters game as I lived nearby.

Well i do because i go to Eels games with my family as they are eels supporters. That includes all matches in and around Sydney.

Then i go to Sharks games with my mate because hes a sharks fan and had no one else to go with so i was like hey if i get a lift to watch a NRL game then im there.

Although i pick an Eels game over a Sharks game if they on the same night.

Try to travel to most away games. Get to all NSW ones and about 2 interstaters a year and occasionally NZ.

This weekend I am going to Panthers & Dogs as well as the Tigers match because I got a free ticket and it is close to home.

Other than that if stand alone PL match is on I will try to get there. Make a few traditional rivalry clashes between other NRL teams to. So in general I am at a game either PL or FNRL each week

Occassionally I go to Sharks home matches with a mate who is a big fan, plus I live just across the river so its not far.

It is actually nice to go to the football and enjoy it for what it is occassionally, rather than have the heart rate go through the roof every time your own team knocks on/stuffs up etc. A huge emotional involvement in the match can cloud your opinion of the game.Totally different experience IMO - although I'd obviously rather be watching the Raiders.

When I was a student living in Sydney I'd head out to a game every week... mainly Roosters, Souths and Tigers (Leichhardt) games as they were all very close by.... still proud of my 2004 effort of 4 games in one round (admittedly one was a TS double header, but still).

Basically because I didn't know all that many people in Sydney, and the people I went to uni with were the most unsociable people on the planet. Why couldn't I have done one of the cool degrees?

I go to a few Parra games and the odd Panthers game during the season along with the Campbo and Telstra Tigers games.

About 20 all up.

Used to go to a lot more, but it's a bit expensive these days.

One of my mates is a South's supporter so I'll go to the occasional game with him, along with going to most Penny games in Sydney and all home games.

I love how the Merge fans are the only ones too cheap to go to another teams game :lol:

Me, I go to a fair few Tigers games when they're at Campbelltown and the odd Dogs game at Telstra.

I only watch games at Parramatta Stadium. I would probably go to other games but I have a hard enough time convincing the wife for the home games.
