That map shows border lines, not population density, for all the amount of area in catchments for Penrith, Tigers and Parra, a lot of that is empty bushland, not actually urban areas, so yeah you could argue, bulldogs area is more heavily populated compared to the other Sydney sides

Am I wrong? If not number 1, they are certainly one of the biggest and it would be a disaster to relocate them

The above report is based upon Roy Morgan's Single Source survey. This survey purely asks, out of the 17 NRL teams, who do you support, they use pretty much the same audience as they do for their AFL survey, which is why you end up with the Storm as number 1 for NRL and the Swans as number 1 for AFL.

NRL results:

AFL results:

The reality is, whilst these expansion teams have a lot of 'casual' supporters, they aren't the same type of supporters that @titoelcolombiano and co are talking about.

The metrics they are looking at are:
- Home attendance
- TV audiences

The Bulldogs had the highest Sydney average attendance in 2024 and has had more 20K+ average attendances than any other team since 2000. If they're not the biggest, they are definitely ones of them.

From a TV audiences perspective, the top drawing Sydney teams on both FTA and STV are Souths, Eels, Roosters, Bulldogs and Wests over the past decade.

The new stand at Brookie cost $33m. That ticks most of those boxes. So it can be done, how it is possible with the layout is the question
yeah thats the thing

if you build exactly that, 3,000 bowl, some kind of training and office building above it housing 400 corporates (its good!, not bagging it at all. great thing they've got done there)

you cant build that at the northern end because of the powerlines easement.

you could, do the seating bit, if you move the playing field south and have the southern stand directly behind the dead ball line.

so then, maybe you rip up the southern stand a bit and build that there.

I think the best thing they could do, is that exactly. change the layout of the southern end so you have seats to the dead ball line and all the way up, and have that wrap around to the ET stand on that side.

Powerlines could be buried or shifted
