Waratahs v Brumbies 28th June ANZ Stadium

[Badger]

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there is only 1 or maybe 2 years left out there. There is no way out of the situation.

I was told end of next year. You're right, they have taken the cash so there probably isn't a way out without returning the money plus more in penalties etc.

Pftzy - that wasn't helpful

I disagree. It felt marvellous to write so helped me enormously

Contract ends next year, but they'll keep an option to play a final there no doubt.

As Tina says, the only solution is to support the organisation, point out the things you don't like, and move on. Voting with your feet doesn't help in this case; Australian rugby can't afford it.

Pfitzy you're on shakey ground. you will end up having a rest from the site if you continue to abuse other members. no matter how good it makes you feel.

So Fox Sports reporting "...It is in stark contrast to the Waratahs, whose only regular players unavailable for selection this week will be wingers Peter Betham and Matt Carraro"

Unlikely, it has been brought up with the organisation & if I recall correctly it was mentioned at the fan forum a few years ago that they understand that it's not a good idea.
Logistically it's a annoying for the game day staff, they have to cart everything there & back again as there is no storage there.

At the end of each season the members get to fill in a survey & all the members I know always voice their opinions about Homebush as a venue. I don't think any ever say it's a good venue.

I was right with you,until you inferred they took notice of anything at the fan forum!

Haha! I think the 2nd forum was the better one. Anyway, they know the punters don't like ANZ & with any luck things will be different come 2016.

What does Tahs forums and shitty viewing have to do with the brumbies hammering the Tahs this weekend

Hammering the Tahs?
Have you not been paying attention this year?
I actually don't blame for taking your eye off the ball,it's hard work watching the Brumbies this year isn't it?
the Brumbies are making less breaks than the Tahs when Foley was in charge.

That's the difference,we're looking forward,and you guys are looking backwards.

It's still nice for you to be able to say you beat the champs mid season.

Good chat fellas. Keep it up.

Unlikely. There is far more interest for a Test Match in eastern Sydney than there is for a Waratahs game in Western Sydney.

If the Tahs got 20,000 it would be the biggest crowd of the year - according to austadiums, the attendances have been as follows:

Sun 23/02 v Force @ SFS- 15,785
Sat 01/03 v Reds @ Homebush - 17,580
Fri 21/03 v Rebels @ SFS - Unknown
Sat 19/04 v Bulls @ SFS - 15,773
Sat 03/05 v Hurricanes @ SFS - 17,221
Sun 18/05 v Lions @ SFS - 19,639

The Lions game points to the potential for decent attendance in the last two weeks. The Brumbies game, even at Homebush, potentially decides the top of the Australian conference. The Highlanders will hopefully still be in contention when we face them a week later at the SFS in order to see if the kiwi fans will still come out.

After the Wallabies series, I'm hoping for 30k at Homebush this weekend. I'll be there, perhaps with the wife and kids in tow.

30,000 would be an interesting number of attendees. I never said I expect to see 45,000 people at a Tahs game, 30,000 would be fantastic!

FYI Groucho I have deleted Pfitzy's offending post, agree it crossed the line. I deleted yours as well because it's best we keep discussion here strictly game-related.

Hearing that Carraro is out?

 

[Pfitzy]

Pftzy - that wasn't helpful and isn't in keeping with GAGR.

Better snipe this one too mods. I don't like being referred to in the broader context of the negative term "unhelpful". My poor little soul is in crisis!

After watching the wallatahs on the weekend you seem excessively overconfident

the Brumbies are making less breaks than the Tahs when Foley was in charge.

And yet the Brumbies have scored more tries against teams in finals contention than the Tahs have.
