Cowboys fans travel hours to get to games lmao 45 minutes
And Sydney people won’t travel three suburbs lmao. The reality is 90% of a crowd is made up of people who live within easy travel of the stadium.
So Sydney is the same now as North Queensland is it
Do they? the avg viewing on skynz for nrl games is 50k allegedly. There’s more clubs in WA than in the Christchurch region.
No, nor is it the same as the south island of nz. I wasn’t the one who brought up dumb apples and oranges comparisons. It’s a stretch to say because a coupe of thousand fans travel big distances in nq people on South Island of nz will do the same.
Sure because you’ve been to both and compared traffic densities and population densities ?
The Warriors have ignited a Rugby league fire in nz. We need to capitalize.
Actually I have lol. Sydney nearly every month and had the great pleasure of going to south island and driving around a few years ago. I’m not seeing many do the 4.5hr drive from Dunedin to Christchurch to get to a Friday night game!
Why do you pick the most extreme examples to make a bad point
Because the 6pm Friday slot is one of the big reasons people have been calling for a second nz team!
You know there will be TWO nz teams
the answer to that is approximately half of them.
Same as if they linked with WA, just add a gold trim
Incorrect, team 20 is Perf, and NZ2 wouldbe better suited in waikato. Not the south Island, in future maybe, but Auckland is the hotspot, and the major population centre, if you're thinking of emulating the dolphins V SEQ idea, then you base them on the outskirts of that area, Waikato/Hamilton fits that mould. Its geographical central enough to travel from Bay of Plenty, and Auckland, if you think of population of all those areas combined, its a great big chunk of it, yes it might take away from the warriors but its an already established RL city, its like giving an option to those people in Brisbane who didn't follow league or just hated the bronx

Upper North Island regions dominate future population growth | Stats NZ
The country’s four northernmost regions are projected to contribute two-thirds of New Zealand’s projected growth between 2018 and 2048.
Waikato district, has 514k already, add to that Bay of Plenty region another 347k, plus 1.6million from Auckland itself, which to grotd potato question about waiting for another million population centre (which is unnessesary, when these 3 areas span 54% of the countrys populous)
Basically all up 2.5 million people in that upper north island, which 2 teams could easily service, and a local derby can ensure... then if if all goes well expand to South island or Wellington or both
Just to be pedantic it’s currently at 1.2 million.
Current greater Christchurch population which is between a 20-30 minutes car drive from Christchurch City is 516k and projected to be 621k by 2038.
That’s kinda the conundrum with NZ2- you don’t really have a clear favourite for hosting a second club as all three have their pros and cons.Incorrect, team 20 is Perf, and NZ2 wouldbe better suited in waikato.
