What about South Island Roosters? I like the tattoo on the dogs emblem. Nice touch
Nah, Roosters are already manoeuvring to go north to North Sydney/CC. Look at the academies they've established. Shut the bears out of NSW for good.What about South Island Roosters? I like the tattoo on the dogs emblem. Nice touch
Hahaha what a lie, norths have had their area since the Northern Eagles merger fell thru, Roosters have been so inept to spread out od their little 4 club area, they had to travel to CC, i prefer bears back in at north sydney or Cc or both, than have roosters in sydney sucking up all of sydneys limited market... the fact you've thrown out slight insults of relocation of souths to png, and cronulla and bulldogs to south island... shows how delusional your little fanbase is....Nah, Roosters are already manoeuvring to go north to North Sydney/CC.

I’ll let you have your whinge, mate; because you’re too pathetic to converse with.Hahaha what a lie, norths have had their area since the Northern Eagles merger fell thru, Roosters have been so inept to spread out od their little 4 club area, they had to travel to CC, i prefer bears back in at north sydney or Cc or both, than have roosters in sydney sucking up all of sydneys limited market... the fact you've thrown out slight insults of relocation of souths to png, and cronulla and bulldogs to south island... shows how delusional your little fanbase is....
.....personally Roosters to Adelaide suits the NRL and most sydney fans that aren't easts
Pathetic is a club calling themselves "Sydney" when there's another 8 that share the same city with them... all coz they don't have many fans and need to broaden their hi browse appeal.... fk load thats done for them, won back2back, and still hardly anyone at the ground 2nite, or for the past 5 seasons (covid notwithstanding)Again, it’s all been jokes, bro.

Yep, just like, e.g., the AFL turned people off their second Sydney team by calling them Greater Western Sydney and playing games in Canberra.You'd turn people off by calling them South Island?
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard
You're an idiotYep, just like, e.g., the AFL turned people off their second Sydney team by calling them Greater Western Sydney and playing games in Canberra.
It's broad to the point of being meaningless in the sporting context, and their representation of regions outside of Christchurch would be token at best. The team would end up with a confused identity where the people in Christchurch see the team as not being a team that truly represents Christchurch, and the people in the rest of the South Island would just see them as only truly representing Christchurch and not them.
In other words in trying to be everything to everyone, they'd only accomplish being nothing to anybody.
Depends on what TV audience NZ gets today in NZThe "passive fan" is 20 × the "active fan " as is the revenue...
Don't forget that a new team isn't just about engaging the fans of that team but also in some cases more so it's rivals. The Dolphins will create as passive opposition supporters as it will it's own. Another NZ team will be that on steroids. It will engage the nation on an unprecedented level.
Just call then the Eastern Roosters, then they can play from Wellington to DundeinWhat about South Island Roosters? I like the tattoo on the dogs emblem. Nice touch
Or Wellington to SydneyJust call then the Eastern Roosters, then they can play from Wellington to Dundein
So New Zealand Warriors is too broad?Yep, just like, e.g., the AFL turned people off their second Sydney team by calling them Greater Western Sydney and playing games in Canberra.

That's not an argument, try addressing the point I made instead.You're an idiot
The Warriors are a fine example. What's their market presence like outside of Auckland?So New Zealand Warriors is too broad?
If you had a point I'd address it.That's not an argument, try addressing the point I made instead.
Explaining why you think it's wrong is a good start.
I didn't say they made it up, I said they 'exaggerated' and/or 'manipulated' it. The best lies have a kernel of truth and all that.
Their requesting more Saturday games is irrelevant from the point being made as well. Nobody is saying that they don't get more people on a Saturday because of travellers, they're saying that A. they're dubious about how they define traveller, and B. that those extra traveling people are largely irrelevant in real terms, and potential new clubs shouldn't necessarily hang their hat on a similar marketing strategy when other more targeted strategies could/would be more lucrative for them.
But we don't know exactly what they mean by 'travel outside their home community'. For all we know they could be going as far as using technicalities to include areas that are traditionally considered part of Townsville to bolster that number.
Furthermore, with the exception of Queanbeyan, none of the places I mentioned around Canberra are more than small towns. Some of them wouldn't even classify as that really.
The point is that people traveling from those regions to Canberra isn't unusual or impressive, in fact a lot of the people living in those places do it daily. However, if you were to frame it as "10% of the Raiders crowd comes from outside of the Canberra region", or the even more nebulous "10% travel outside their home community to attend Raiders games", it would give a false impression that lots of people are traveling far out of their way to attend games when that simply isn't the case.
I have little doubt that the same is true in the Cowboy's case. They want certain people to believe that roughly 1.5k people are traveling from Cairns and Mackay to Cowboys home games, when really the vast majority of those people are from the collection of smaller towns much closer to Townsville.
The real question is could the Cowboys be getting more than that extra 1.5k if they targeted their marketing in Townsville exclusively.
I don't really know (or care) in the Cowboys case, but in NZ's case I'd be willing bet that you'd turn more people in Christchurch off the team by calling them "South Island" than you'd gain from the other regions on the South Island, especially in active supporters.
Surely they should be called “THE” to appeal to all of the pacific?
