You keep saying it because your an ANZ member. What's the profit for a full house at Parramatta Stadium? That's what it would have been last week against the Tigers. Also how much are two points worth? We've clearly demonstrated time and time again that we play better at home than that shithole. I'm an ardent fool - f**k ANZ!
You are an Ardent fool.
As I have said, and you can do your research, I have been asking about moving to ANZ since 2004 or 2005. That I am a member out their shows I understand what significance the venue will play for all sports in the near future. I see my membership akin to that of the SCG in 10 years, giving me the "Must have" tickets on the Sydney sporting calender.
Also ANZ is the Stadium for the Grand Final, wouldn't it be nice to have a home ground advantage for that game. You know the game that actually determines who wins the championship.
The article says we make on average $220,000 for a home game at Pirtek, and $381,000 for a game at ANZ, before profit sharing which we activated at ANZ, and got an extra $60,000 more.
It also says to break even (before we make a profit)
SMH article said:The club needs to sell 4200 tickets (outside of its 12,500 ticketed members) a game to break even when playing at Pirtek Stadium, given approximately 55 per cent of ticketed members attend each game.
So if we sell the place out, That would be, another 4,000 tickets to sell. If sales for Round 1 were $58,000 for 4200 tickets and we sold 4000 more, that might add $50,000 to the bottom line, so you still have to make up $111,000 per game.
That and you would leave, 30,000 fans of both ilk's out of the game day experience.
As for how much two points is worth, we are not Manly, so I can't tell you. But again if you think Jarryd or Chris would not have passed those balls for the Tigers tries, or Chris would have had a perfect kicking at Parramatta vs ANZ then you are fooling yourself.
Also in the last 5 years yep we have been better at Pirtek than any other venue. But then again we won 6.5, 6 and 5 games in those years. We won more games in 2001, than those years combined. We have a better record at Suncorp than ANZ Stadium in the past few years. If they can't play well away from Pirtek, what is the use of them playing well there, for us to only fall short in the big games.
