Games in closed stadia after R1 - considerations

[President Trump]

I assume that we are paying Georges River Council something to rent Jubilee Oval and we will now be incurring that expenditure without having any gate or F&B revenue to offset against. Questions:

1) Can we renegotiate the fees down with the council - unlikely unless it triggers a force majeure clause. But ultimately we need to play somewhere and without crowds nobody will be offering incentives to host games, so not much bargaining power.

2) Does the club have business continuity / income protection insurance to kick in to deal with situations like this?

Do members get a refund how long will this continue.....

 

[Mr Angry]

Well of all teams, we are the most prepared, our ground is already closed, we were preparing for poor crowds, lower member numbers.

Every other club will be hit harder, the NRL.

They can keep my membership money, this is not poor management, I am not punishing them.

Season tickets portion yes.

If no crowds allowed why cant we use Shark Park, are not the junior reps playing there anyway

 

[blue bags]

sharks could be banned from kogarah

Personally I am more selfishly concerned about being able to get my crop harvested Take care of my family and keep them alive. Ive already lost 1 years income this thing could finish me .

The NRL have pledged to assist all clubs with an emergency fund to cover costs due to no crowds / lost revenue / stadium rental etc.

If there's not going to be any crowds why not play all the games at the same stadium to cut down on broadcasting costs?

The fox commentators suggested that was being considered.

I guess comparative travel time is still a home advantage teams might want to keep.

It's only fair every game is at Suncorp. Keep the Donks in their usual routine

Exactly. If no crowds are allowed why should we pay rent when we can play at home for free.

 

[Special K]

Hey maybe we can play at shark park again?

Any one who asks for their money back is a off their head imo. The club needs it and it’s not their fault.

I agree. I do not want my money back, I love our club. Having my season pass is my way of showing that.

 

[Mr Angry]

With the construction at Shark Park, there are probably camera spots being rebuilt.

I would also suggest the largest cost on game day is staff to service the crowd not the rent itself.

 

[blue bags]

play nrl at sharks park now , what about the contracts of both sides, the sharks club contracts to move to kogarah, and then the builders , insurance, renovators contracts at shark park, then you got to worry about tv crews . it would be a mess

 

[txta2]

I'd be shocked if round 2 goes ahead. The hysteria is out of control atm. Don't forget to wash your hands, lol

 

[spirit of league]

Don't forget to wash your hands, lol

AND self-masturbate.

I mean isolate. Don’t forget to self-isolate.
