NRL considers live sites

[aussies1st]

This sounds similar to what those English were doing for the Ashes. Aus copying England

Why was a swap the only option? I have no idea on the figures, but with the extra $$$ made from a capacity crowd at Telstra wouldn't the NRL have enough spare cash to throw at the Aussie Stadium management to appease them?

What have afl clubs been complaining about. The only final that is sure to be held at the MCG is the Grand final and so it should. All other finals are at the home teams Ground which is the way it should be. The afl had the felxiblty to change the game from Telstra to SCG.

You must of been in a coma. For years finals have been held at the MCG becasuse of some deal and some sides have had to give up home ground advantages.

The AFL didn't have a choice as Telstra Stadium decided the NRL game was on there.

here's articles on the AFL's previous problems

Bloody Useless NRL couldn't organise a root in a brothel

 

[Raider Ultra]

The AFL had to switch as there was simply no other option.

It would have been interesting to see what type of crowd a Tigers V Dragons match at Telstra would have gotten. I know now we'll never now, and I don't think it would of sold out but I think you would be looking at 60K plus.

Live sites :lol:

Won't that take away TV ratings? What happens if a person with a people meter decides to go to a live site instead of watching it at home? :mrgreen:

Good article by Phil Gould. Hopefully commonsense is catching.

 

[aussies1st]

At last something I agree with Phil Gould on. The title says it all, "It's about the fans, stupid: why the men in suits must get switched on"

He manages a real nasty dig at the Storm in an article about totally different teams.

 

[The Colonel]

but if Brisbane had won there would be none of this complaining so looking at the draw wouldn't of helped.

Blind Freddie could see that the side of the draw that holds the Dragons, Tigers and Broncos was easily going to outdraw the other side. Melbourne and Nth Qld games, with no disrespect to those that do go and support their team, rarely draw big crowds in Sydney.....

I wonder who many fans the Cowboys brought to the game. It’s called agenda. 9/10 articles he writes, has an agenda in them. I thought it would have been a good thing for the game for the Channel 9 commentary team to put out the call at the end of Sunday’s game, for their Channel 9 executives to make sure this weekend’s games go “Live” across Australia this weekend.

Just wondering if anyone knows about if Live Sites have been confirmed and where will they be?

 

[Timbo]

I'd have thought the logical thing to do would've been to throw the gates of the SCG open and put it on the big screen there.

The trust would then cash in on concession sales and such and you'd still be able to hear the crowd next door.

Its hard enough dragging oneself to Moore park for an actual live game of footy, its a bastard of a place to get away from, the last place id head if I didnt have a ticket.
A big screen in an empty arena or a big screen in a club>?:-k

And people mocked me for me to have the balls and Say David Gallop and the Adminastators have got to go.


They don't give a sh*t. FACT

Bugger giving the SCG Trust anymore money. Wests Tigers fans should watch it at home, the big screens at any of our 3 leagues clubs or maybe the club(with the NRL's financial support ) could set up a couple of big screens at Leichhardt Oval and the fans could sit in the hill at the old girl.
