What are your thoughts?
I am all for it. To increase our game's crowd numbers we must get Sydney fans to learn to travel. And I find it very weak that fans won't cross the town to support their team, even on a Premiership round basis.
I travel from Brisbane to Titans games... So by contrast I'm not impressed.
One big reason why we need these is that we need to follow the AFL's lead and try and play big games at big stadiums. We need to make big games and rivalries EVENTS.
I believe we can help train fans to travel by playing our Finals games at big stadiums and have aspirational targets. Even if we don't see immediate dividends. The benefits out weigh the cons.
Now many might say, all well and good, I'm a Queenslander and we can play at Skilled Park and Lang Park. And that it isn't fair.
But is it fair for that all these out of Sydney teams have to get on a plane to Sydney ever 2nd week or two? Sydney teams have an advantage during the year by playing so many "away" games in Sydney.
