Stadium Australia has to one of the dumbest names ever to be invented by marketing.

Kind of like when teams dropped their suburbs - Sydney Tigers, Sydney Bulldogs, er, Sydney Roosters.

Roosters fans would prefer East Sydney as our name

At least the City of Sydney (as in the CBD) is geographically close to the East (though Souths probably claim it as they do everywhere that isn't Bondi Junction) - Paddington, Randwick, Coogee etc lol South Sydney my hairy f**king half filled ballsack

Umm with your logic wouldn't it be called Sydney Stadium?

And during that time I think they were called Sydney city roosters, which is think is better/ more geographically correct than "Sydney" when there is other Sydney teams

Just on shit names created by wank think tanks, GWS is the worst name I've ever heard.

Means nothing. Hides the fact it represents nothing. Pretends to be somewhere. Modern marketing of empty nothingness.

The logo is the Giant to make it sound tough, imposing, all encompassing. But the picture is a G. Is that "oh GEE. Gotcha by golly wow"???

And they stole the colours of a popular western sydney rl team...to confuse people and subliminally associate themselves with western sydney.

Anyway.
Proof that what goes in Melbourne isn't transferable to Sydney
