The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[Pneuma]

Anyone would think that you simply make up everything you post. Not capable of backing anything up or providing examples. Preferring to make personal insults as a way to get your point across.

At least give us some numbers. Is RL participation 10% higher? 20%? 30%? More?

And you spent ages posting about the ratings. How much higher is RL? 50%? 100%? Or were just you making that up?

Google is your friend

Because the vast majority of people support a club not the sport/league.

Most Aussie Rules fans in Canberra have little interest in GWS matches unless the team they support is participating. You can participate in performative stupidity and pretend that isn't the case if you like, but it is what it is.

Regional Tam's sample for Southern NSW is 635 Households.

230 of those are from Canberra, 227 from Wollongong, and 179 from the rest of Southern NSW as they define it (Wagga, Dubbo, Orange, etc), which is different from how Southern NSW is traditionally defined.

I don't know how I can make this any clearer for you, when you see ratings data claiming to be just for Canberra it's extrapolated from the Southern NSW data of which Canberra/the ACT represents a minority of the sample, and as such it's influenced by the rest of the Southern NSW market which is an extremely different from the ACT both culturally and in their social make up. In other words they're literally glorified guesstimates informed by poorly sampled data.

Again you're arguing against a claim I never made. . .

I never claimed the AFL or AR is or would be bigger, I said that Aussie Rules and RL are roughly the same size in Canberra, i.e. neither is particularly more popular than the other, and that a Canberra AFL side lunched tomorrow would be as big as, if not slightly bigger than the Raiders, from day one.

The first claim is simply true, you might not want to accept it but you're simply ignorant and it is what it is, and it isn't hard to imagine that the second is likely given the different attitudes towards attendance and memberships between the two sports and the pattern of AFL sides converting more of their fans into members and attendees on average than their NRL counterparts.

So the vast majority of afl fans follow a team not a sport but Canberra doesn’t have an afl team …..

So how can they be afl fans ?

Again, based on what? Your opinion?

Because @The Great Dane says so, that's all that matters. Don't worry about actual data

Data is easy to find. Opinion prevails apparently as far as the GD is concerned. Facts are irrelevant.

Can we talk about stadiums again?

Win‘s a great mid size stadium right in the town. Just needs a new east stand, and end stand when they replace the arena.

The end stands are already fine. Just needs an east stand and corners on that side (replace the weird little NE corner thing)

Yeh it is fine, only mentioned it as there was talk of that end being pulled down to build a bigger arena As part of major development of the foreshore area

If they do the hill then the southern will need to go as it doesn’t match the rest of the ground

Nsw govt funded a development study in 2022, haven’t seen what recommendations came out of that?

No more hoop droop? State budget to fund plan to revitalise 'embarrassing' Wollongong stadium

After decades of neglect and moments of national embarrassment, the New South Wales government is providing money to investigate improving the WIN Entertainment and Sporting precinct in Wollongong.

Yeah the southern stand does look a bit out of place, compared with the eastern and northern stands. Opened in '92 and is the oldest of the three grandstands.

Eh, that doesn’t mean it HAS to go. Would be ideal, but it’s not stopping the east side getting done.

Gong used to be a stomping ground

those trips back home on a Sunday when the dragons found a way to lose in the last five minutes were so depressing

oki doki is a decent stadium too for all the flak it gets my cousin had the best seats in tier two on the half way line plus a box

never paid for tickets

2009 when haynsey and the eels smashed us and we all left in tears lmao

1/2 a sht box if you don’t mind kind sir. And no, and I doubt there will be until nrl decides if we’re getting a license.

That’s defiantly where they should put the cameras during games and not do any other angles
