Message: [QUOTE="Jeba, post: 2379474, member: 1827"] Rocky you are thick - you can't include 2011 crowd figures in this argument because we are not through the full season yet. There's significant drawcards that haven't come to Brisbane or Townsville yet. Before I start - I will concede that the Titans numbers are a worry. Down by 4,000 over 4 years is a worry indeed. But look at the history of Gold Coast sport and you will see that it's nowhere near as bad as previous efforts and if they were to maintain their current crowd levels it would actually be an OK result (in the context of what has happened in the past on the coast). The Gold Coast's attitude to sport is much like Sydney's - hopeless. Gold Coast United crowds reflect this, and many expect the same result with the Suns. Things operate differently down the M1, hence Coxy and Fozz saying they are from NSW is valid - they need to get their s**t together like Sydney needs to. As you can see, not making excuses for them at all. As draggx mentioned, the difference between the transport concerns in Townsville and Sydney, is that in Townsville they are actually concerns, whereas in Sydney they are just purely poor excuses. There is a BIG difference between not being able to attend a game because of 4 hours of travel and work + school the next day, and having to take an alternate route because of a tunnel closure of a train line down. BIG difference. And if you try to compare the two then you just suck at life. It's been raining ever since the start of summer in Queensland too, which makes long-distance travel VERY unappealing. Not to mention a lot of people up north are still cleaning up from natural disasters (Mackay floods, 2011 CQ floods, Cyclone Yasi etc) and simply would not be able to afford travelling 4 hours to game of football, whether it be financially or mentally. Nobody wants to drive a long way when your attitude is down because your house has been blown to bits. Broncos are on the incline. Like I said you can't use the 2011 stats until we've seen 12 games there. SO many variables. [/QUOTE]
