Movr the rd1 clash

[DaSuperHero2]

Parramatta Stadium does not have enough capacity measured against fans that will attend rd 1 , move the game ! the NRL needs more money as it is we cant hold people out!;-)

 

[Non Terminator]

The irony of this mentioned with an Eels/Dragons game.

[adamkungl]

I know you're fishing, but the NRL doesn't get the money from this game you simpleton.

 

[strider]

if st george played their home games at ANZ it would probably be at ANZ anyway

 

[Stagger eel]

so far we've had no negative response from Parra fans...

goes to show how precious saints fans are.

No, Parramatta would. That's why it's not a bad idea.

[parra-matters]

Yeah move it to ANZ get 50,000 people I'm all for it as long as the Dragons don't get any of the gate takings.

 

[born an eel]

give me a packed parra stadium full of eels fans over a half full ANZ anyday.

Become a STH and secure yourself a seat now.

 

[JessEel]

No. No i will not mover the game!

 

[Parra Guru]

simple way to guarantee your seat.... become an eels member ;-)

 

[strider]

No. No i will not mover the game!

you spelt it wrong ... its "movr"

 

[Suitman]

I don't understand why in this day and age, with the sports competitive world we live in, any administration would choose to turn away 30 000 fans to ANY game.
This potentially, being the season opener, could easily draw 50 000 people, particularly how both teams finished last season.
It's just pure madness imo.

Who are our ANZ games against this year, the Dogs and Souths?

 

[born an eel]

you start moving games around and run the possibility of upsetting your loyal regular ticket holders. They need to consider more than the one game.

What would moving this game do to the leagues clubs bottom line?

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Id be happy for this game to be moved if it was a Sunday game.

 

[Stagger eel]

I know that the newer directors cringe at the thought of being locked into a 5 year deal with ANZ stadium, they would definitely prefer to play at home, but as suity said, the financial rewards are enormous and I'm sure they'll experiance that first hand this year when they see it for themselves.

tbh i think we should be taking 4 blockbusters there a season...but that aint gonna happen.

There'll always be some pain for gain.
Open the game up to a heap of new supporters, and you may well increase your number of season ticket holders.

It could easily draw that many people but then given the way the Dragons finished the season will there be enough of the bandwagon left?
