#Home-ground dilemma as Eels look to move Nathn Hindmarsh's farewell to ANZ Stadium

[Suitman]

If you think that then you're a bigger fool than you present yourself as.

That was what I thought.
Why not advertise our brand and product to more potential customers instead, if that wants to be his argument?

You can't fit 21000 into Parra stadium.


Get up to speed.

19654

Capacity is crap these days.

Here it says 20,741

[strider]

yeah I think capacity is between 20-21K

even something that is classified a "sell out" doesn't mean every seat will be taken - sometimes people with tickets don't show ... so the actual crowd will vary at "sell outs"

Personally, I dont think Bart is a fool for posting what he did. I mean that would be an attack on the man, not the post. I do however think that the content of Barts post was foolish.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

What Bart said was correct.

 

[born an eel]

so do I, but I think most of the people who are pushing for ANZ are the casual walkup bandwagoners and are worried about missing out.

Considering only 9000 turned up last home game, why do we need to talk about 80K seat stadiums.

 

[beagle]

If so many people are worried about missing out, this game should of been sold out weeks ago.

 

[hybrideel]

You have to put it in context though. Our last home game was against an out of state team who don't have the most support at the best of time while we were playing like busteds on a freezing cold night. Compare that to the final game of 2 14 season one club veterans, 1 of which has won multiple fans votes for most popular player. Being selfish as a season ticket holder I say parra, for the possible spectacle with 40k+ it has to be ANZ. Too bad sfs or Aussie or whatever it's called now wasn't an option

Well obviously most people are waiting to find out what day and time the game is being played before they purchase their tickets. I would hope and expect that it'd be a Sunday arvo game but until it's officially scheduled I'm not going to purchase tickets just in case the game is played in a time-slot I cannot make.

 

[hindy111]

i bought season tickets just to support hindys last year.
For sentimental reasons it woudlnt be the same at anz plus we loose a home ground advantage.We wont loose at para i dont think but at anz??

 

[Parra Pride]

Can the tickets even be purchased from Ticketek considering we don't know what day it's on?!?!?

That might be the ground capacity for certain events.

But not for NRL games.

19654 is NRL game capacity. It was 19854 back in 2010, but new advertising has reduced it by a further 200.

Flaming stirrers!!!!!

#IDon'tUnderstand

We won't loose Parra because we'd be playing there.

I thought the logic was fairly evident in the statement?

To play at ANZ is by definition to loose ourselves from Parra stadium.
