Bunniespoof, if you aint counting Balmain and Wests as remaining from pre WWII, dont count your mob who were so stupid they elected Piggins who sucessfully piloted their death a few years ago. The Wests Tigers playing at Leichhardt and Campbelltown and the Dragons playing at Kogarah is more remeniscent of their heritage than Souffs who doont even play anywhere near their district.
There are some stupid morons with stupid ideas. I am baffled as to what AFL has to do with this, apart from, of course, to fuel the paranoia of twats like Perth Red. Suburban footy works in Sydney because, unlike any other Australian city, it is actually a number of sub-cities rolled into one. This is because of topography- 7 harbours and some of the hilliest coastline in the country dominate their transport corridors. Every other city is built on a broad flat plain with a river dwindling through it. Melbourne has a public transport system that Sydney could never have. That's why we should worry about Melbourne and AFL as much as we should worry about the latest warts on Paris Hilton's vulva.
People who are paranoid about AFL have not the mental capacity to comment on what RL should do.
Goddo - the Central Coast Bears hater who demands it written into the constitution that no new NSW teams should never ever exist, wants Manly to play at a ground near a railway station. In other words, play outside their district. Not only is that akin to asking the Israelies to move the Great Synagogue of Jerusalem to an Al Quaeda Jihad camp in Pakistan, but the nearest ground with a railway station nearby is - NORTH SYDNEY OVAL!!!!!!!!! ](*,)
I dunno how many people have said that there isnt the money to revamp ANZ, but then decide the solution is to build another 40k seater somewhere. No. Sydney has enough stadia. Brisbane has sweet f*ck all given that there is 16 bids who all want to play out of Suncorp. No one has mentioned that Parra Stadium will be upgraded to a 35k all seater.
And the bottom line is this - when you have a home game against Brisbane, people are far more likely to come home from work, scrub the kids up, wolf down some pizza and go to their local ground rather than trapse all he way to f*cking ANZ. For many, that feat would be impossible.
So to all the AFL paranoid types - simply - f*ck off. Your dream of doing whatever AFL does will kill RL, because for 104 seasons we have been doing it better anyway.
