Eels move two games to Telstra Stadium

Parramatta will play two home matches at Telstra Stadium next year to capitalise on growing NRL crowd numbers.
Eels chief executive Denis Fitzgerald announced the club would relocate home games against the Bulldogs and St George Illawarra from Parramatta Stadium to Homebush to attract more spectators.
"It is a great opportunity for the Club. The capacity of Telstra Stadium is four times that of Parramatta Stadium and gives us a great chance to play in front of big crowds," Fitzgerald said.
"We saw a number of marquee matches in 2007 that attracted very large crowds and we believe that will only become stronger in coming years.
"This deal enables us to maximise exposure of the club and provide the opportunity for anyone wishing to purchase a ticket to these matches to be able to do so."
The Eels will honour all season tickets at the alternative venue and offer greater corporate facilities.
