Message: [QUOTE="gUt, post: 2109991, member: 1766"] You make some good points Smith. It could be argued that some of the Sydney clubs have been propping Brisbane up by accident. It's true especially for Parra, the Tigers, the Dragons and the Bulldogs (not to mention the Cows and the Titans) that Brisbane benefits from the attendance of people who want to see them lose the game. Mike Coleman's column on Sunday was along this line: why should Brisbane (or any of the Qld clubs) help Sydney? We've always had animosity and that animosity is what sells SOO tickets. NSW has ****-blocked Qld selections in the Australin teams for decades etc etc. All of that is fine and good but I just don't think it's wise to be sitting on the lifeboat thumbing our noses while the ship sinks. I don't think the Broncos should be made to split gate revenue with their rival clubs because you just couldn't do it in a fair way. However, the sooner these clubs start bringing their home games to Lang Park, the better. It will piss off the Sydney fans who do attend the games, but if the clubs can't financially support themselves, these fans won't have a team to support at all. [/QUOTE]
