Smash the pokies with an eye on the AFL on tv. What dreams are made of.

Too busy on a minesite and in the casino to worry about such things

Balmain to Allianz 9km
Manly to Allianz 16km
Belmore to Allianz 19km
Kogorah to Allianz 15km

Apparently this is too hard in Sydney. Sht place if that's true.

You're a pelican so I understand that this is the actual distance you can fly.

Unfortunately your bird brain doesn't take into account traffic, parking etc that are common problems in major cities of the world.

Yes the pokies and the tv were a reference to the casino m'lud.

Roulette and blackjack with coke for WA miners, no pokies, they are for old people

That’s because you are a boring judgemental old turd.

I've been to plenty of world cities, never had a problem getting 15km on public transport to a major stadium. Seems just a Sydney problem, sht city.

Sounds a bit crap, there must be very little to do over there.

When you're not spending your life sitting in traffic you've got to pass the time somehow

Neither sound appealing, i guess the people from Sydney have something to do at the end of their journey at least.

Except for rugby league. Because there's no team there remember.

Even in rectangular mode clubs with a 15k crowd avg playing in a 80k stadium is always going to be horrible. Accor should be for special occasions only.

Build a southern sydney stadium for dogs, sharks and dragons, Souths to allianz, tigers to Commbank.
That sorts out most of the sydney clubs with just one new stadium extra needed. But no, they'll stay in their hovels with their 12-16k crowd avg's and moan the govt isnt helping them.

Balmain Allianz 9km

It depends on what a rectangular stadium at Homebush looks like. And would crowd averages grow year upon year.

Also i dont think people liked to be dictated from someone who doesn't even live in the city or state. Look, i do agree with you at times, but geez you moan alot.

NRL crowd avg perth 16.7k in last ten years, well above NRL avg. See what happens when you can get to stadiums?

Stands are too far from the field and too shallow

spending anything on it is a total waste of money

You've got all year and a lot of spare time since there's nothing else to do to plan your trip for that game.

yeh it does really need a rebuild as a national stadium part funded by feds imo.
It would also need to be designed to have a genuine 30k intimate mode or it shouldnt be used for club games regardless. Its the only stadium we use where a 20k crowd still looks shite.

Has this merkin ever tried to get from the Nthn Beaches to the SFS via public transport?

Or even worse, to actually get home again?
