Does having home games at these locations piss you off as much as they do me?

I buy my season ticket and with it, I expect to be able to attend all home games!

It does but theres nothing you can do about it.

The game is a business and thus taking them to these venues will ensure a profit of some kind.

Its only 3 games that wouldnt havent of pulled much supporters against the cowboys, warriors etc at the showground (god awful stadium to watch footy).

That's right, I forgot about that. I'll scratch that one off my hate list

I went to the Cowboys game last year on the Gold Coast that was meant to be our home game and it sucked. It was much more like a Cowboys home game, then a Dogs home game. It was a rip off, not only did the Dogs play crap, but the Cowboys supporters were wankers.

Not only does it rob STHs of one home game, it's simply unfair. We've been doing it for years out of our generosity, I think maybe other clubs should learn to do it - i.e. the ones who haven't for years... or ever for that matter. Maybe take something like Canberra v Melbourne to Adelaide, or Cowboys v Newcastle to Perth, something like that. Make other clubs share the load... give something back to our loyal fans for once.

yeh but in the end the club got the money... and i think that perhaps was one of themain aims.. wouldnt you if you could get the gate takings for 25k supporters rather that 10k?

Both Canberra and melbourne fans have access to less games than Bulldogs fans... Raiders fans, for example, only have easy access to Canberra Stadium... Bulldogs fans can still easily access other teams' home grounds in Sydney.

Canberra and Melbourne aren't the point :roll:

The point is that an even-ish share of 'away' home games are spread over the 16 clubs. It's not fair for it to be us every year. That's all I'm saying. And I know we're not the only team that does it but there quite a few who don't.

People with that attitude are the ones that would lose hope in surviving if their boat capsised.

Have faith, people power does wonderful things.

Go here www.backtobelmore.com.au
