In Sydney we're still a long way away from those good old days yet...

campbelltwown to 25,000
kogarah to 20,000
win stadium to 22/23,000

Penrith is a suburb of Sydney, am I not correct????
but it ain't really that much outside of 50kms outside of the CBD, maybe 60kms at tops.
Last time I saw the Bulldogs play at Belmore, they were turning people away and had 27000+ .greeneyed said:Fact is, this is why the AFL is so much better placed than the NRL today.
We need teams attracting large crowds in major stadiums and playing to national TV audiences.
How much do you think our game will be worth to the TV networks if we continue to limit the game to the suburbs of Sydney?
You think they will provide massive injections of cash, like the club CEOs were demanding this week (ie to cover their entire salary caps)?
We will end up like club rugby union if we continue down the path of suburbanism.
The people trying to keep our game played in suburban grounds will be the death of our sport.
