New NRL team to enter the comp next year. The Bogota Sniffers have this weekend appointed a CEO and couple of Kiwi recruits. =D> =D> Sorry for the edit but I just read about the Roosters player getting done too - so three players and a CEO. Big weekend in the world of Rugby and the world of cocaine. \:D/

Thanks marjamlew.
You have jumped the gun with fake news

Full team news announcement has been delayed until their female head trainer returns from Columbia. Return flight details to be announced in the future. The head phones she went to get for group meditation classes are in customs awaiting release after duty is paid. :lol: :lol:

A shame really, TV has slowly overtime screwed the numbers, timing of the games and what day or night.
Years ago you could go and watch 3 games, 3rd grade midday, 2nd grade about 1.30 and then 1st grade 3pm. Now they have 1 game.

The numbers of punters attending are of no concern to the money men. Look at the billions being thrown at the game and clubs for TV rights.

True mate Swans do get good numbers averaging 36,000 a game, but only when you are winning, when you were being flogs earlier this year numbers dropped plus the away games are most likely attended more than the home games at the SCG.
GWS has a share of the limited Sydney supporter numbers pie these days but their numbers have plateaued now and not rising, the same can be said for the Swans. Your Sydney supporter base has peaked for some time now.
Swans were lucky they were adopted by the City of Sydney before the GWS team and took the sympathy and novelty supporter numbers, people who wanted to follow something new.
An average of 55,000 between the 2 Sydney teams in a city much larger city than Melbourne with a much better climate where with the lovely winter weather there are other things to do on a weekend besides footy is I suppose an achievement and well done. You deserve some accolades for that.
