105k watched SOO last night in perth on fta. Might be more than your 6k rl fans in perth after all lol.

Yeah, 220k watched in Melbourne but storm get 20k in much bigger city. Same ratio means bears will get 11k..

What were they?

 

[Colk]

What were they?

84k I think. Perth was 105k and Melbourne 220k

 

[The Great Dane]

Unlucky, the perils of having a team in Canberra

At least we have one.

The CC don’t and never should get one.

 

[The Great Dane]

English rugby league grounds are not designed for the elements

They have coverage over the stands that keeps the vast majority of the crowd out of the elements, so yeah they are.

Sure it’s not perfect, but it’s a shit ton better than Bruce, which is a giant wind tunnel with basically no coverage whatsoever.

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

84k I think. Perth was 105k and Melbourne 220k

A great advertisement for our game and Australia's two premier states.

around 1 min ten mark

If he gets sick of saying "QUEENSLANDER" then he can shout "PENSIONER" each Wednesday at Woolies. He's getting on in age.

 

[Perth Red]

Odsal

Odsal was great in winter, not lol. Because it was a big hole in ground you’d be at the carpark and it’d be clear then you’d descend down the stand and by time half way down you’d be in fog lol.

Was on the terrace side. It rained. Miserable lol

sounds like odsal lol

bizarrely when we went to summer rugby it became the best ground as the bulls really did game day well and there’d be 20k there!

talk of branding Bradford went from the steam pigs with 6k crowds to bulls with 20k.

Canberra Raiders fans should actually thank the Central Coast for even having a team

Canberra Raiders fans should actually thank the Central Coast for even having a team

Why?

 

[Centy Coast]

Why?

In the early 80's both the Central Coast and Illawarra were offered positions in the then NSWRL competition, Central Coast officials stated that they were not ready (viable) for entry at that present time, Canberra were then invited and accepted the position.

Should’ve taken it even if they weren’t ready

I suspect also they didn’t want to take away from their local league

Interesting. If there weren’t so many Sydney sides a Central Coast team could or would work. I still think if a Sydney team (looking at Manly) could target that area that could help a Sydney side

A lot of regional sides had the same debate. Newcastle did in 1988

I thought it was Illawarra and Newcastle who were asked first not CC, and then newy knocked it back for canberra to enter
