:lol:
Except last year Parramatta's average was higher than saints, sharks, panthers, raiders, warriors, and storm and only 400 behind the roosters and 170 behind manly, yet you say only sharks and parra strugglr to draw crowds.
Lol, better check your facts mate:lol:




10-Sydney Roosters 13,970
11-Manly 13,694
12-Parramatta 13,528
14-Cronulla 12,965
15-St George Illawarra 12,596
16-Melbourne 12,474
17-Canberra 11,913
18-New Zealand 11,440
19-Penrith 10,899

Stupid to highlight Melbourne, Canberra and NZ. Those 3 teams don't enjoy the benefit of travelling opposition supporters as do Sydney teams.
If they did, their averages of course would be much higher.

Well let's try something clearly objective shall we?

'You are a brainless f**ktard'. There, a classic statement devoid of any subjective interpretations.

You really are just another dumb Balmain, no wait West tigers, no Western 'tigeels' fan.

Hope you guys are fans of Dr Moreau lol

Hehe. Locky cracked a funny.

thankyou

link to my 55 inch plasma, you fool. read it and weep.

ohhh, bought it before plasmas were mainstream, and they dont sell it in australia anymore, but note the price tag....your yearly salary probably....btw, the price is in american dollars....i believe the size says 55 inches on the page....

indeed we are all entitled to our opinion. sometimes, you'll just have to admit it, my opinion counts a little more than yours.

you won't lose 100,000 of thousands of fans....rl doesnt have that many that care in sydney


oh btw...i think i've pulled back some 'credibility'

you guys know nothing.

sometimes, one would have loved rl to have come to melbourne first....

yes, sydney, the world class city that the majority of tourists in a recent survey said they would only visit once...

LOL!

come on sydney, you can do better than that.

i am sitting here thinking your the dropkick

http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/...200072&CTID=5001500&RLTID=1505&DETYP=RELATION

american dollars too. suck it up. how about an apology. very foolish of you.

I too would like for say cronulla or even the roosters to go before parra, but at this rate, who can be sure which'll happen first.

you had 20,000 fans or thereabouts there. not 50,000 and tickets were cheap. its pocket change mate.....9 million is a far greater sum, many, many times over.

You think I'm jealous?

haha

I'm there every other month. Its ok. Nothing special. Come on! You can see its 3 greatest landmarks at the same time...opera house, harbour and bridge. You probably call it value for money, i call it bs

Thanks.

And btw, sorry to make you feel so self concious.

I know its going to take a while for you to get over it and all.

Yes, you should research it better. I had a good laugh.

Carry on. You're doing well.

Its fun getting you going. I know you love it. Its like weights....dont try and compare yourself...just continue hard from where you are. Improvement is what matters.

Good on ya

thanks for your input digi

btw bluebags, will take down my signature when the comments within it becomes irrelevant. Just some fun

lol

the meaning of that one didn't escape me.

Try again if you will....

yawn...hey hutch?

your best bet is to shut up about this.

who cares about tv sizes.

if you will permit me, i only mentioned it because i was saying i had a good set up at home but you dont see me in front of the tv a lot and i attend games all the times, as a member.

thats all. Im not the one who brought it all about tv sizes.

anyone can buy one these days - yes....for 2 grand you can get a decent enough one. sure most people need a credit card for that or some form of finance, so what, do i care about any of that? if i wanted one i could go down tommorow.

and guess what, mines not that great....for instance its contrast ratio is around 1000:1 native, and newer ones have native 15000:1. and 30,000 dynamic. this is important for blacks and picture quality...not that there is anything truly wrong with mine.

but who cares, you must because you wrote about it a lot....me, i only mentioned it breifly b4 all this in relation to another topic. it was relevant

but now its not....so please lets move forward

i cant believe you are banging on about the crushers, they were a mess and a joke.

you need to lift your standards. in the end, they were so hopeless they admitted everyone in for free.

I was old enough to remember the bs that went on, were you? if you were, i pity you even more.

i agree with the sentiment tho, a 2nd team could come and be well supported - just let it be nothing like the SEQC's.

and the leagues club still stands, but it was losing money at several stages, and frankly to everyone i know, feels very much out of place.

... a few more points for trying.

But they do have opposition supporters in their region. When those supporters's team is in town, it is [usually] the only chance that year to see them play so they go and watch them

But that is still not the same as Tigers v Rabbitohs game where both sets of supporters are close by.

I mean, it's so obvious by now to everyone that they need to maove to survive. But where?

Perth?
Adelaide?
NZ?
The logan-ipswich corridor? < is it a long corridor?
Sunshine Coast?
Rockhampton?


Failing crowds. Sponsors leaving in droves. Massive debt. Junior numbers decreasing faster then a laxette through a budgie. Terribble parking. Over-priced hot dogs. Rude canteen staff. Tiolets that wont flush.


Move or die really. Not that anyone would care if they did die. Even thousands of free tickets can't entice people to the games.


The Sunny Coast Eels. I like it.


The thought of Parra re-locating is dumber than Rockin Ronny on one of his best days:cool:

My boy plays footy in the Parra district and it is a strong and vibrant competition and the area is a cornerstone of junior rugby league. There is no chance Parra will move so I agree this thread is pretty stupid.

I'm old enough too, and strangely have a different memory! The Crushers weren't a mess or a joke, they won a reserve grade premiership, had players like Norton and Schifcofske that had long careers in the game.

They averaged over 20,000 in their first year, all up in three years they averaged over 13500. They copped nearly three years of news limited media crap [bar an initial honeymoon period] and had to compete against a very sucessful broncos unit [on field and via new corp off it as well].

They would have been a very viable and sucessful team had they been given a proper go, and the still existing Crushers leagues club's seafood buffet is still good value!

And lose your home crowd due to fans chosing some away games over home games.

I hardly see how you can call it a benefit, well at least not in the instance of Melbourne. They might be the only league team in the city, but that city just happens to be one where AFL is some sort of religion and one where people attend on average around 20k each game more than we do our games.

I know our Sydney clubs have to compete against each other in the crowd market, but at least they're doing it in a city where rugby league is by far the number one code. That's so much more of a benefit than what the storm have in regards playing out of a city ruled by AFL and followed by brainwashed mexicans.

At the risk of playing devils advocate I think the drizzle have much more against them in regards to pulling crowds than what our Sydney clubs do. I'd much rather compete for crowds against teams in the same comp, the same sport and the same city that it's been played in for over 100 years as opposed to competing against 10 or so different teams in a different
sport in a city where over 6 million people a season go to watch and have been worshipping for over 100 years.

My God ... if i hadnt seen it for myself, i would never have believed it. The Mother of ALL Wankers, right here in our forum. I've been pressuring the government to allow us all the right to shoot extremely vacuous wankers like this, right in the head, on sight. I bet you slick back your hair, pretend to hold conversations with all your rich and powerful mates (who obviously dont exist) on your mobile while walking down the street, drive a second-hand Triumph Dolomite (but you imagine yourself to be driving a Ferrari) and wear braces dont you ?:lol:

My God ... i still cant get over the vacuousness of this creature. A being totally and completely educated by the Courier Mail. My God ... what a f**king wanker :lol:

He certainly didn't get his wealth from grammar!

OVP, you and I both know if he was fair dinkum he'd be a Chooks fan. Hasn't even mentioned latte yet.

Probably took the roof off the Dolomite with an angle grinder to make it look like a convertable.

Your Fishing expedition is going well..

OR

You must have really hit onto the Motherload of Crops cos the dribble above could only come from someone who has been smoking the good quality stuff.

Where are the Sponsors leaving in Droves???

At no stage has a Debt been mentioned. There is a difference between a Loss in Revenue/Profit and a Debt.

Where do you get your statistics from with regards to Junior Numbers??? I am on the Board for the Parramatta Junior Rugby League and I'll have you know that our numbers are up by 8% on this time in 2008 alone.. Our district fielded 323 teams in 2008 and we anticipate that once Registrations finally close and the competition starts, we should field on or around 330+ from Under 6's through to A Grade - and this statistic does not include the massive Catholic Schools competition from U6 - U11 held on Sundays.

Yes the Hot Dogs are overpriced (and Cold) but damn their Nachos are yum!!
