Message: [QUOTE="Locky’s Left Boot, post: 2982268, member: 9358"] I don’t know why I bother sometimes. Every fucking year I look forward to the NRL Draw being released and every year I end up being utterly disappointed and let down. I don’t know where to start. 3 things I noticed straight off that bat within the first 2 minutes of dissecting our draw is: -We play the top 4 teams from last year twice -4 of our first 5 games are on a fucking Thursday night -We have been reduced to only one Sunday afternoon home game this year If you want to know why crowds are dwindling look no further to the geniuses who come up this abomination of a schedule -We play St George once all year and in round 3 at home and yep you guessed it, it’s on a Thursday night. In what would be a typical 40,000-45,000 crowd will probably be around the 30,000 mark. -They have Cowboys hosting us on a Thursday yet again when NQ’ers have to travel long distances to attend. -They have us playing the Premiers twice in the first 10 rounds with one of them being at the SCG on wait for it, you guessed it again, on a fucking Thursday. -They have a Western Sydney derby (Eels Panthers) at the new stadium in Round 11 on wait for it again, a Thursday night. -Titans vs Warriors on what is a typical good drawing game for the Titans and a great atmosphere due to a big kiwi contingent on the coast (and I have taken my kiwi mate to the past 3 of these games when he has come down to Brisbane on holidays) and is typically played on a Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon is now being jammed in on 6pm Friday night time slot. -They have Dragons and Storm playing again on an origin affected round and on a Thursday night. -Titans vs Cowboys Derby also played on an origin affected round at GC when both teams expected to have multiple representative players missing -Eels vs Dogs derby at the new Western Sydney Stadium on a Thursday. -They have Raiders Vs Manly on prime time Sunday afternoon FTA when Dragons vs Roosters is on Saturday night. -And to finish off the season Roosters vs Rabbits derby is on a Thursday a week before the finals. I know you can’t please everyone but deadset! This ladies and gentlemen is what is contributing substantially to crowd numbers dwindling [/QUOTE]
