Rabbitohs Make ANZ Stadium Home For 10 Years

[Midnight Rabbit]

It would be nice to be back at the SFS but only the mentally dimwitted can't see how impressive this deal is.

I had been wondering that. One to share with Lapaglia's Sydney FC.

I think that was just bargaining so they got a better deal from their respective stadiums.

why did I read our home at the SFS. Glad you didn't because there will be enough traffic on the ground as it is..and as the rest of the comp knows it is't your home crowd. Even you know it's not your ground. so I apologise for mis-reading your thread

 

[ozzie]

lol its a 10-15 minute walk, nothing strenuous
people are soft

and past some good pubs

Not saying its good or bad, but Souths are moving further and further away from the 'working mans' team. Its not really their title noaw.

don't dunny carters wear Memari's or Auranis or the brand pf suits that Souths wear?

souths have a wider appeal , so makes sense to expand and be prepared to play of of the area when it makes financial sense, and this is the deal now. to vast majority of supporters success is more important than playing and perhaps losing in ones backyard.

also if the deal is an extension of current deal , Souths get a guaranteed $s per game ( was around $100k per game) and get a share of gate after an agreed crowd ( from memory it was 15000 -- someone can correct me) and also full rights to sales of souths gear.

so if souths can get the crowd up , the additional windfalls begin.

Given this goes out 10 years and inflation will make $1m a year less attractive , assume there are some additional conditions that provide a benefit to Souths for this , in addition to the souths private locker room.

From the Bulldogs site:

I would like to clarify a story that appeared in the newspaper today regarding the Rabbitohs and the announcement of their new deal with ANZ Stadium.

Firstly, let me congratulate South Sydney on this long-term deal. They obviously recognised the huge benefits in playing at the best stadium in the Southern Hemisphere, as we did several years ago.

I’m very happy to make it clear to our Members that we have a commitment from ANZ Stadium that as its first long-term tenants we will always have a parity with any present and future tenants, and will continue to work together on initiatives that enhance the facilities for our players, staff and fans. This includes the Bulldogs own lock-up change room facilities come 2009.

Why not move every other team in the NRL there too. Then change the name of the body running the game to the HRL

 

[BIKER_DRAGON]

Then again why not get rid of the name Rugby League and call the game Homebush Rules Football

.

Still doesn't sound that great deal if they get 15,000 people that's 200k to the stadium and 100k to Souths.

 

[themanonthehill]

15000 ... are soufs doubling their post 89 average ?
sh*t team with sh*t fans

 

[Cheesie-the-Pirate]

When was the last time you went to either?

SFS - Tri Nations final, 25 November 2006
ANZ Stadium - Tigers vs. Saints, 13 May 2007.

It's an absolute piece of piss to get to the SFS from Central. If you're feeling a little energetic you walk down Foveaux Street. Otherwise you get a special event bus from the Chalmers Street entrance of the station.

Both of which are easier and take less time than catching a train out to Lidcombe then walking to the sprint platform, catching the Olympic Park train and then walking to the ANZ Stadium.
