Although i would agree with you that canberra needs it for its fans/members and general attendance that the stadium gets for all codes, but the Raiders beat the roosters yesterday by the skin of their teeth... i think they had the home ground advantage of minus temp conditions and were smart enough to play along side it...
Aussies are so soft lol
Move to canberra, follow the raiders, then you can complain about aussies being soft...
Grew up standing on the terraces in mid winter in north of England, anything over 0 degrees is warm lol
Yes but you haven't followed the raiders!
my club was in the third division, trust me nothing more soul destroying as watching your team get beat by barrow with 500 other fans in -10 degree wind chill off the north sea!
That would be a nice looking stadium and the perfect size for an NRL club. With a capacity of 20k there's no reason it cannot average around 15k to 17k. If it can get an average of 17k through the gates then that'll be a huge improvement on the current ground.
at least we use soap
ah
I'd agree, but most teams playing against the raiders know they're in for a freezing game, its an advantage that the raiders have over most of the comp
Interesting point of view but this is top tier professional sport where home advantages due to weather are disappearing world wide. They would still have a parochial crowd.
And the sheep thank you for that.
Correct!!! Canberra has Crowds!!
Which would be bigger with a better stadium in a better location with restaurants/pubs and other amenities within walking distance.
