Souths and Bulldogs have ONE home ground dont they ?
That is a given.
Im talking about losing any home ground advantage.
Why should my comparison only include Sydney teams ?
The facts speak for themselves.
And by the way, Manly and Easts are Sydney teams.
By dilluting your home base has results... Just ask Mick Potter.
Because teams outside of sydney don't have any competition from other NRL team It's not like you would bring Melbourne to play in sydney. Manly is unique, if they were moved to ANZ it would be lucky if 1000 manly supporters turned up.
Just go & watch your team anywhere if you are a genuine supporter. Like a lot of the older supporters we used to go & watch the Dragons most Saturdays at the SCC during their 11 year reign & beyond.
Some on here all they want to do is whinge whatever the subject.
Be greatfull that that you have got a team to support in Sydney.
[FONT="]Regarding "Right Game, Right Venue"
Peter Doust what you are telling the fans is that you have just given away a four game home advantage for a bucket of money to play at venues no one wants to go to! Yes you have sold off a third of our home games! Does this mean I will only have to pay for four games with my Red V Membership for Kogarah next season.
This decision to make easy money might take the pressure off an under performing management team and up until the end of last season a non performing retention committee but it won't please those who in the end decide your future and that is the fans! Sell us out at your peril. This is the start of the rot and I hope the fans show their displeasure. The only way our great club can succeed is by having a competitive Rugby League side on the field, our field, do your job "Build it and they will come" and so will the fans and the dollars!

The Leagues club is rat shit, but rather than re-invent it we'll just sellout our heritage and play in cavernous holes for money instead.
This saddens me. I enjoy the experience of simply watching Saints at our home, both Kogarah and WIN, whether we win or lose. Maybe I'm overly sentimental. The heritage of our home is one the reasons driving this silly lifelong fandom of mine. But next year the concept of Jubilee and WIN being our home is dead - we're simply visiting.
Or the fans could travel an hour on the train to homebush. FFS
I get to at least 4-8 sydney/gong games per year from QLD. Yet we have some sooking about traveling to some games an hour or so away from Kogarah.
Those people you mention, may not have the capacity to do so.
I have a feeling that these are not the people that are whinging
Some of you HILLbillies need to wake up, sport has seats these days....The Hill at the SCG was missed for about 10 mins.
It's the way of the future and I applaud the club for doing this.
Bravo
Those people you mention, may not have the capacity to do so.
Unable to get to games via public transport that will more than likely be included in their ticket price (as per video). I find that amusing.
