Manly in a Union Stronghold, now if anyone tells you otherwise they are kidding

Souths Western Rabbitohs memberships must be selling well. Driving back from the river this morning I saw two cars with bunnies stickers in the widows and one with a SSRL license plate.

all the more reason for them to move to Q'land. CQ Sea Eagles has a ring about it and the CCBears can take over the small RL population of Manly's catchment area.

Two questions:

1. Why have storm not started selling theirs yet?
2. When will they start?


It is a good idea by manly, it's just common sense really too. I mean it's not like an 8 year old can go to a game without an adult anyway, so you will be getting paying adults through the gate anyway, who may not have gone otherwise.

We have 5k members and our average is 14,400.

Saints have 13,000 members and it's average is 14,000.
We beat you by 400...

BS

i dont know why you got upset, my post was actually a positive one about manly you gibberer?

go and change your panties

I'm upset the way you carry on,manly is doing just fine.You don't hear anyone else having a whinge.

manlys ST numbers were poor


5000 isnt enough and in previous years it was 3000 or less.

Which WOULD NOT go to anything associated with the BEARS so Union would take over. It will cause more trouble then what it's worth.

ARU Headquarters located on that side of the Bridge. Some big Union clubs as well Manly Marlins, Warringah Rats, Gordon

there are no big rugby union clubs in sydney, they are mickey mouse teams

your nearest competing NRL clubs are newcastle and the roosters

you currently have a massive part of sydney, and its the richest bit

manly are important to the nrl for their geographical area ie only club in the north of sydney, and they have a long way to go to reach their potential

manly should target crowds of 20,000 as a minimum, then work their buts off getting brookie upgraded

theyve only recently started trying properly to get money for brookie

manly should eventually aim for crowds of 30,000 given their geographical area

They have been trying to get money for upgrades for Brookie for ages. Kerry Sibraa got $10 million for it but because of three idiots(Cr. Kirsch - ask a hardcore Manly fan there feelings on her and it wouldn't be nice) on the Warringah Council they can't spend it.

If Manly Council had the money Mayor Jean Hay(Arko's sister) would fix up Manly Oval and they would play there.

But I agree we should be getting 20,000 though btw 30,000 might be a bit hard Brookie biggest crowd was a touch over 23,000 as it stands

Your a manly fan?

then you should know the biggest turnout @ brooky is 27,655 against parra.

they cant leave brookie, thats part of the fabric of the nrl

its a big ground and can easily handle some good sized stands

i reckon now they are seriously pushing for an upgraded brookie funds will come

people are starting to recngnize the value of an nrl team

the next state govt is looking like its liberal so it could be your turn!

Brookvale would need a huge sum spending on it to get it close to a modern stadium. I can't see the skint NSW Govt pumping in $200mill to a safe political seat can you? Manly's crowds have actually dropped in the last 5 years and are hovering around the 13k mark. How many years do you anticipate it taking them to get up to 30k?

nsw has had a labour govt for 20 years

they will soon be replaced by a liberal one

manly council recently put in $10 million, its a start

its a drop in the ocean and you know it. I've seen the development plans for NIB (which is already better than Brookie) and the costs and can guess at how much it would cost to get Brookie up to standard, let alone get it to a state that would make it a viable ground for the countries top competition for the next 25 years. Manly is a safe seat and hasn't been held by any major party except the Liberals for decades

ps you forgot to tell me how long till Manly crack the 30k

Never, cause everyone hates the b@stards.

Jb you know as much about RL in sydney as i know about AFL in perth. lets stick to our respective areas of expertise

better still go and use google maps and google manly / brookvale and then moore park eastern suburbs and see how far apart they are

look at the map of sydney and see how many teams we have north of the bridge

lol at Sydney folk like DAlly thinking you have to have a team in every suburb or big bad RU and AFL will take over the world!

He's from Bradford

quite clearly from some of his recent posts! Though I think even Bradford RL fans are more cluey about the Australian game so maybe he is from Halifax?
