Message: [QUOTE="Midean, post: 3275707, member: 10185"] They are theories mate, thats all, up for discussion, it can be done without being outright abusive. The difference between Sydney and Brisbane, is that most Sydney Teams have had several generations of fans from each area. There have been a hundred years worth of Sydney based fans established to each of their respective clubs. Brisbane has been a one town team for 30 years. That means that the entirety of the Brisbane fan base is this and last generation. As i said, if you are a league fan in Brisbane, chances are you are a Broncos supporter purely for the fact that its a one team town. It will take a concerted effort to move fans from the broncos to the firehawks or whoever they are. In terms of media scrutiny, the Doggies dont cop anywhere near the shellacking the Broncos do. So no, not ANY team losing is vilified equally. Also, it makes perfect sense to "temporarily" that's the key word here, destabilize an established club in the town you are looking to get a second team up and running in. Again to draw fans from the Broncos to the new team, the Broncos cannot be doing well. How many Broncos fans jump to the new Brisbane team next year if the Broncos won the premiership this year?
