The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[parrawentyfan]

This is really for the jersey thread, but I agree there is something not quite right about the Advdnture Kings sponsorship on the Dolphins jersey.

It doesn't trigger our usual complaints. It isn't too big. It isn't in a big box.

But I think it is to do with the fact the it is such bold clear writing of what could arguably be a mascot's name. When i look at the jersey I think of them as the Kings instead of Dolphins bizarrely for a second. It may also be because the Dolphins are new so we don't automatically associate their jersey with them (plus otherwise it is basically just a red shirt).

I guess it would be similar to if there was another team with a similar sponsorship. Eg, if the Storm had a big LIONS sponsorship across the front, they may get confused as the Lions instead of Storm for newcomers. But this is less likely for people like us because we are used to their branding already.

I'm not sure cause they have made the jersey this way while they are preparing to enter the comp, means they will have that exact jersey when they play. At the moment it's just a way to ensure the sponsor is prominent. No different to training jerseys that clubs have during the preseason.

I think closer to their first game they will be displaying the actual jersey they will wear first game.

Self respect. Identity. So the jerseys don't look so f**king ugly.

oh my

Yep. It still resembles a football jersey at the moment. By game day it will be full advertisement billboard.

Suncorp Stadium is surely about to be inundated… The Brisbane river is expected to peak at 3.7m. The river peaked at 3.1m 2011. f**k.

[Perth Red]

Eek! How long did it take to dry out last time?

The water recedes pretty quickly, but not sure how long the clean-up effort took. Luckily these type of floods tend to happen in the summer, so the off-season for RL.

I'm coming down from Cairns for Magic Round, hope they get it cleaned up before then.

Less than 2 weeks until the Broncos 1st game on 12th March though. Theyll have to put max effort in to get it ready

 

[It's Been Done]

Next event at Suncorp is scheduled for Friday Night, a Super Rugby game, that'll most likely get moved and I wouldn't be surprised if the Broncos vs Souths game is moved as well, the Titans too are reporting problems with their home ground, but it's mainly to do with access

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Strangely tickets are still on sale for round one at Suncorp. Probably because staff have not been able to assess today.

Apparently it is only knee-waist deep this time, so it might probably won't hit the ceilings in the changing room and club facilities. Hopefully it is kept to the underground interchange and parking.

Not sure how long they would want the turf to settle after they replace that. Might be a home game for souths round one.

The Broncos and Souths are scheduled to play at Accor Stadium in round 9 so I think unless if there's a double booking at Suncorp, the NRL shouldn't have a problem doing a swap

 

[Omott91]

Watching the Cronulla trial game, why did the Shark's have to leave for 2 years for that little development?

Very underwhelming.

Will probably just move the game to Dolphin Stadium.

All 3 venues, Suncorp, Redcliffe and Robina were underwater yesterday

As long as the forecasted rain from Thursday to Monday isn't like last weekend, they will have it ready to go. If we flood again this weekend then it will be harder.

52K possible crowd down to 12K would be quite the hit

and as has been mentioned, Moreton daily stadium was under water too

It was to do with access to the ground. There have been some pretty significant changes to Captain Cook Drive and it's generally not good to be encouraging crowds near a bit worksite.
