NO wonder it's got to a stage where most normal-minded NRL clubs are looking to gain extra revenue by moving blockbuster games to bigger stadiums, just once or twice a year. Look at Manly's situation. They began the season as premiers and should have made a packet from crowds, merchandising and sponsorship. Instead they will report a loss of about $500,000 this year. We're told they will seriously consider moving next year's home game against Parramatta to Homebush. "We could get over 45,000 fans instead of 20,000 at Brookie,'' co-owner Max Delmege said. "It's something we'd have to look at to boost our revenue but just as importantly allow all fans to get a ticket andwatch the game.''
