The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[Perth Red]

Should be like Super Bowl, bidding cities and part of the submission is what the city will do during GF week to promote and hype it up. Could alternate with Sydney every other year to prevent nsw meltdown in the short term. The money from the bidding city could be used to reduce cost of tickets.

You're entire post history is a meltdown and you've probably been that way since 1997.

On topic. The grand final should be held where the highest bidder is. The NSW government are offering a brand new Parramatta stadium, and what ever happens to ANZ and the SFS. If other states and cities can offer close to $2billion in stadiums, be my guest, host the grand final in Betoota.

A the $20bil on Sydney stadiums is worth a 20 year deal. After that (hopefully at a time when we are a real national game) a rotating schedule would be perfect.

Between Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and the soon to be complete Perth stadium, that is already 4 rival bidders with usable stadiums. And, in 20 years, we might also include NZ, Adelade or even one of the enourmous f*ckers in South Asia (Jakata, Guangzhou, Kuala lumpur all have stadiums of +80k)

The game has so few traditions left, I always thought the GF should remain in Sydney. However, seeing the lack of support for this years GF shows Sydney don't value it anyway, so f**k them. Judging by this season, the NRL shouldn't be tying themselves to Sydney, it's a cesspool of selfish indifference and it will destroy the game if allowed.

That's $2B, not $20B.

And I don't see any sign of NRL becoming a real national game.

You mean Sydney in general or just in league circles?

Has the GF sold out yet.

league, but it could be applied to Sydney as well.

Sydney Rugby League has been this way for over a century. Not even close to being destroyed.

The closest we got to being destroyed was when a Queensland team got the shits and started their own comp.

Where was I whinging?

Here? Straw clutching. Lose the chip on your shoulder ffs

So at what point do you have another serious crack at internationals in Sydney? Never?

Or do we keep giving Sydney dud games, then say "see told you so" when the self-fulfilling prophecy continues?

Everyone knows Australia v Lebanon and England v Lebanon are going to be tough draws. There's no way these fixtures fill Lang Park. But the anti-Sydney crowd will use it to attack Sydney anyway.

That said, this time round the blame lies with the State Government.

Its only a tradition for the NSWRL...

For everyone else, it was just something they had to accept when the NSWRL swept into town with a new team and killed the local comp.

Honestly, the attachment to NSWRL is just insulting to other comps. Either drop the NSWRL history and say NRL started in 1998 or acknowledge that RL existed outside of Sydney.

Rotating venues for the GF will be a huge step in ditching the Sydney-centric view the game cant get rid of...

What chip is that? Because I am embarrassed by the fact Sydney can't average more than 13k and struggle to sellout origin games and Grand Finals?

You're arguing for more Sydney content while they struggle to support what they already get.

While you're claiming Sydney struggles to support the GF and Origin when the crowd will definitely be larger than any other stadium except the MCG can hold.

Dead set have you seen the prices for the GF.. $300 to watch neutrals, I'll pass.

we should all be very proud the game hasn't changed for a century in Sydney.

I concur. The choice for me is to fork out hundreds to go see a team I despise play a team from the most northern part of the country, or go to a friend's place and watch all three games celebrating the day with them.

If Parramatta were in it, I'd be there. But I'll have a better time watching this game from home. Cheaper too.

it's a Grand Final!

The biggest game of the year.

It struggles to support it when the NRL is routinely forced to flog off thousands of free or heavily discounted tickets days out from the game.
