The two clubs in serious danger of collapse - Tele

the afl may be better to watch live than on tv, but it is not better than watching rugny league live.

we have the best product in the world, and also people with no idea how to run this product.

IIRC the Reds racked up a huge debt because they had to pay for everyone to travel to Perth.

Serves 'em right for joining Traitor League. Rupert and Ribot were lousy to insist on that.

 

[Loudstrat]

He's a twat for being right????? :?

Remember, he LIVED in Sydney. He knows the Eastern Suburbs consists of a bout 6 suburbs, and the west about 600. Maybe he didn't notice from his rubber room in Callan Park. :crazy:

So do they want someone else to pay for that as well. If they choose to join, they do under the financial constraints as every other club outside of NSW, the warriors seem to do fine. Being a one team town I would have thought that being the only NRL commodity in that market in a capital city, the cost should not be an issue.

but i guess it only suits his argument to whinge and whinge, if perth can sustain a side, they bear the cost, I am sure that each club pays for its own travel. I know the titans have a sponsorship deal with Jetsar, is this beyond a perth based side to work on something similar ?

I'm sure the main reason they joined SL was because of the debt they had accumulated while competing in the ARL. Makes you wonder, if they had recived more support from the ARL would they have jumped ship to the new comp?

You have no problem with a brand new team in enemy territory having to not only look after all of their own team/juniors/marketing/etc but also to pay for the airfares of 19 other teams travelling to one of the most isolated cities in the world?

I hope you're kidding...

 

[Loudstrat]

Wow. 4 weeks of debt before they joined. :roll:

Must have had that deal for the 2.8 seasons they were with News Ltd to cripple them.

That was an ARL condition of entry to the comp. I believe it dissapeared once they jumped to Super League.

I am yet to see a link that says that they HAD to pay for all travel for every side when laying in Perth. If that was a condition of them joining and they did not negotiate otherwise, not anyone elses problem. Who pays for each clubs travel ? The club who travels does.

Maybe it was only the Bulldogs then Johnsy

OK. Then how the hell could it have killed them when they were with the AL for only 5 weeks - and with SL for the next 2.8 seasons?
