Troll done good!
Gold Coast Chargers were profitable when they were culled in 1999. Their exclusion was a compromise between News Ltd and ARL to grant the Broncos sole representation of southeast Queensland until 2007.

Yep he’s definitely trolling. I’m never sure why anybody does this.
He is creating an argument in his own mind. Nobody (or indeed not many) have mentioned anything about dumping sides. All we are talking about the merits of this idea

The Bradley Report was written in August 1992 by Dr G Bradley and handed to all clubs.
On 9 April 1992 A blueprint for the expansion of Rugby League was tabled by the Premiership Policy Committee of the NSWRL, followed in August by an Organisation Review, by Dr G. Bradley, which was distributed to the premiership clubs. The Bradley Report, as it became known, was central to the ARL replacing the NSWRL as the governing body of the premiership. The report concluded that:"...to reduce the number of clubs in Sydney, will be very hard for the League to implement given the long playing traditions of some of those clubs. In the long term, however, it is likely that Sydney is not going to be able to support eleven clubs as it does at present. Therefore in the long term this is the only viable solution. Sydney based clubs are going to have to move to new areas, merge or be relegated from the League. This is going to be a painful process. In the long term I believe that the ARL should be looking to reduce the number of clubs in the National Competition to fourteen, thus allowing clubs to play two complete rounds. This will mean, assuming that only four new clubs are admitted from areas outside Sydney, that there will be only five clubs based in Sydney."
Each club received a letter of invitation for the 1995 season on 2 May 1994. Included were a number of admission criteria including the ability to "attract a minimum average home attendance of 10,000 people". Balmain, Easts, Gold Coast, Illawarra, Parramatta, Penrith, Souths, St George and Wests failed this criterion for 1995 . After the privately owned Brisbane Broncos transferred a 20% share of their company to Northern Rivers Ltd, the new shareholders received the following:"Under the terms of the League's Constitution, it is necessary that, without exception, all clubs which wish to participate in the League's Premiership competition, must apply each year for admission. No club has any automatic right to participate in any year's competition and the League has the unfettered right to reject any club's application for participation."

That really is a terrible stadium for rugby league
Tbf some of the things he’s arguing against have been said by grotd.
Attendances and television ratings for most Sydney clubs are beyond woeful. There are games between Sydney teams that draw as few as 6k or 7k fans. Financially, none of them are thriving and would be in deep shit without the annual grant. I've shown the data for attendances and television ratings ad nauseum to validate my point.
I wasnt talking about the cull, even though they needed to be saved twice before this
Like all ovals it’s not great viewing for rectangular sports. But as a stadium it’s brilliant, great food,great toilets,great lighting, easy transport from any part of the city, great area outside stadium, option to stand on the concourse and drink whilst watching game. Some great upgrade options like seating sections with your own bar, food and terrace area.It ticks all the boxes.
When you start listening to what news ltd say then your in cuckoo land lol. I’ve shown you where the latest two comments from nrl officials have not specified nz2 above anyone else.

How did it fail crowd wise? At no point in their three seasons were they the comps worse supported club. In fact each year they finished above a number of sydney clubs in the attendance table.
