you would never win a state election in Victoriania without promising to hand out money to the AFL

This guy is the labor MP for Campbelltown. FFS.

This makes me angry as f**k.

Clennell is a bomb thrower as a journo mate. He aims to stir and rile people up. I've also heard he's a bit of a "Richard" too.

The Western Sydney MP going along with the guy is worse.

When doesn't a pollie suck up to a journo though when they smell votes? Sad but true.

Based on all the controversy up there it sounds like you will never win an election in NSW if you give too much money to the NRL.
Which is better?

Gold Coast Suns get a $100m put into Carrara due to the Commonwealth Games. Hopefully most of that is due to temporary modifications to the stadium like a track around the stadium rather than a full on upgrade. AFLeeches

Yes we all know the AFL does this a million times better than the NRL. What is your point?

The fumblers certainly knew how to rip off Blacktown council and the Sate Govt,with their promises.Then they slithered off to Breakfast Creek,leaving the Blacktown ratepayers holding the baby.
They make the entitlement generation look like paupers.

Yes, I do wish we could "sate" the State Government too (I know it's a typo, but I thought it a good chuckle when I read your post taipan)

No you just promise not to build a road the state needs and pay $1.2b to not build that road. Geniuses.

Yet you guys wish you had what we have - a city with brilliant stadiums that are easy to get to and usually more than half full. Which is what this thread is about.
Jealousy is a curse, and probably explains why every third post mentions the AFL or Victoria.

If your stadiums were rectangular, then sure.

Re scheduling, we could go back to multiple games at the same time, but that’s going to mean a hit to the TV revenue. I’m not sure crowd revenue can make up the shortfall.

I agree, but the long term danger is that more people will stop going if the games have no atmosphere. So less revenue.

People don't want to watch games at empty stadiums with no atmosphere so tv numbers are hit. TV numbers hit means less money offered in future

We had a great product; thats why its so valuable. If you mess with what works and works well you place it in danger.

I went to soo at a full mcg it was amazing.

I’ve also been over there for a test match with the roof closed at the other stadium and that was very cool with a great atmosphere with the noise bouncing around the place.
AAMI is the best mid size RL stadium in country.
Melbourne has 3 top quality stadiums, about time Sydney started to catch up!
