Well,no matter how boring the game is,I should be able to score on the way in,that should make the game a bit more watchable.......plenty of good deals in concrete/porn/pretend plastic lake/firecracker/politician loving/ empty stadia town.
Cheers.
Your right Simon, that stuff does exist in our town. If it makes your visit more appealing then obviously you are arguing for Canberra. You also failed to mention that this town has about 1% of the crime Sydney does and people here earn more per head than anywhere else. Twit.
I can't believe your first hook, line and sinker was having a shot at our ground. Canberra stadium is one of the best grounds to watch footy from, has all the major facilities required and like the other top stadiums in the world is in line with safety and comfort standards by being an all seater. The Tigpies could only dream of moving away from their home/s to that kind of ground.......hang on, that happened already with Telstra.
Keep getting 10k crowds and you'll have to merge, I hear Newtown are looking for partner #5. ;-)
And 4 million divided amongst 9 teams is about 450k, Canberra's population is about 320k.
You average 12,700 we average 18,200.
Stop talking crap.
Just stick to wondering how your halves are going to stop our halves...
Damn, I don't want to get into a slanging match with you EA, I tend to like you as a poster and generally think you are piss funny. What I will politely inform you is that we have close to 10 licenced clubs keeping us safe from harm and in the words of our former Marketing Manager "Crowd attendance means nothing to us". While I disagree with him wholeheartedly for various reasons, you see the point.
Just a few points on crowds though, I think it is fair to say that Canberra is out of the way for most fans. You might average 18 000 but don't forget that if you play another Sydney team it is easier for the away fans to attend. It is a lot easier for a Dogs fan to go to Telstra to watch their side play the Tigers than travel 3 hours each way to Canberra. I would take 13 000 in a 26 000 seater stadium than 18 000 in an 80 000+ seater stadium.
