10k? If the Vlandys 200k dont sign up then we want our money back!
what if the perth tv crowd doesn’t significantly rise above 8k like it currently is? Does that mean we ship bears back to another town and say see ya later we see aussies? works both ways except if ya a blind englishmen from hull with strong opinions on subjects he knows little about. you wax lyrical a lot but you fail to see your own numbers are rubbish at the current, all west aussies are is based on future possibilities and not because they’re banging the door down. I’m for west Aussie bears 100% but let’s not pretend that their case is 100a% undeniable. it isn’t, it’s all based on predictions and those predictions could easily fall flat faced and be incorrect.
it’s no wonder nrl want west Aussie gov to invest in pathways and infrastructure because imagine nrl invest on everything and the local public don’t turn out or bother watching after a couple lean seasons.
return of a brand, being used by a brand new club.
Its not a relocation, its not NS's return, its not NS Bears moving to play some games in another city.
NSO was by insistence, not choice lol
does anyone know for sure if the bears will one day fully commit to west aussies as in move all their operations and lower grades over and north sydney revert to more a third grade club and historical area? we are just in the assumption that only nrl club will be based there and fact is at the start it will no doubt but everyone is just guessing on what will happen 10-20 years down the line once west Aussie league infrastructure is actually good and sustainable. it would make sense if there’s a target date of say 2040 to have everything bears based in Perth tbh. maybe ask one of the bears people here that know what’s going on with the north’s clubs
anyways off topic this is for expansion threads my bad
