Message: [QUOTE="mitch222, post: 2909158, member: 8605"] Nope. 8 mill is pitance to what it really brings in. Lets be realistic here, they wont sell out so they will be giving half the tickets away for free to begin with (unlike NSW or QLD where atleast 90% is actually sold and the other 10% are given to sponsors) & they will lose some sponsorship for people with no business interest in Adelaide (beer companies in particular because their market isnt in SA to begin with or even Perth). But hey, they will pull the old record viewers ratings out because the game isnt in either state that watches the actual sport. Its equivelent to the AFL playing their grand final at Darwin and then gloating about their record viewers because nobody can get there to watch it so they have to watch at home on TV. The NRL just dont get it. Its a state rivalry game that wont be understood by anyone other than the states participating. Show case it however you want, the game will have **** all atmosphere to what a true game at Suncorp or ANZ would. Its like bringing Argentena v Brazil in soccer to Australia. Sure it would be decent to watch, but it would have nothing on actually watching that game in one of their home countries. [/QUOTE]
