SOO in Adelaide in 2020

[RazorRam0n]

Yep like I said 95% of a 55k stadium = struggle. Our worst crowd still 10k greater than your best

Looks to me like QLD have lost interest repeatedly while NSW draws higher crowds than QLD can possibly get *every* *single* *match*

Great to see AFL heartland state governments shelling out cash to bring RL to town.

find an 80k stadium and then you can chirp, you lot struggle to fill your 55k one.

there should be 3 games of origin at homebush based on revenue.

Maybe then NSW would be a chance.

Now we just have to take the GF from Sydney and we can finally start to become a national comp

Lol they struggle to understand 21 in a row > 8 in a row let alone 65k > 55k

Up until now I could never think of a reason to go to Adelaide. Might give this a go

Not even origin could get me to go back there. The place is a toilet .

The myth that only NSW give up home games continues despite it not being remotely true. This is so painful. The game's being exposed to different markets, that's a good thing. Also all but ensures sell-outs at Syd & Bne.

2006 - NSW gives up one to Melbourne
2009 - QLD gives up one to Melbourne
Then a new cycle commences from 2012
2012 - 1 Syd 1 Bne 1 Mel
2013 - 2 Syd 1 Bne
2014 - 2 Bne 1 Syd
2015 - 1 Syd 1 Bne 1 Mel
2016 - 2 Syd 1 Bne
2017 - 2 Bne 1 Syd
2018 - 1 Syd 1 Bne 1 Mel

From 2019 it shifts again with QLD giving up a game to Perth and 2020 NSW giving up a game to Adelaide.

I'd imagine Melbourne gets it back in 2021 to continue the cycle but who knows.

I should get you to explain this to my dumb ass uncle who complains every time origin is in Melbourne and os probably salty about this too.

If they go back to 2 games in Sydney or Brisbane in 2021 I'll be dissappointed. This could become a huge cash cow and way to promote the game to new markets if they put 1 game up for grabs every year.

When did you last visit Adelaide? A lot has changed in the last few years and improved significantly, if it's been a while you might be surprised with the look and feel in the city now.

Courier mail was calling the decision a sell out to the fans and trash talking the decision.

September 2016 so not long. Went and saw The Sonics at The Gov.

Also, Sneaky Pickle BBQ in Unley.

Aside from those two things... yeah nah. I'd rather hang out in Newcastle.

Ok fair enough. I've lived in Newcastle before too. I don't mind living in Adelaide, just the lack of Rugby League support is stifling, the rest is pretty good.

 

[blue bags]

origin will go back to Adelaide

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

origin will go back to Adelaide

And right you are sir!

2023 to be exact.

Brilliant news.
