GO SAINTS!
Whilst we are re-building, I reckon that we should take up the offer.
So for example, four games would be worth $3mil or more net to us... that'd make a nice hole in our debt.
Doing the sums:
$2.9mil from those four games,
but that 'net' result, factors in that those shifted games would have drawn less than the required 30,000 breakeven crowd at Dockedlands.
So for example, a 26,000 crowd at Dockedlands costs us ~$75K.
However, move that game to Hillbilly Stadium, and we're up a net $800K on that game.
Win win? Actually... lost turned into a win.
I know certain Saintsationalists maybe loath to travel beyond their ~15km radius comfort zone, but I'm sure there's gotta' be a KFC somewhere in Hillbillytown(?)
Hey, CW, this sort of suggestion is right up your alley. How come you haven't posted it yet?
P66, now that you've (once more) established that you do know what enemy team various terms of derision are referring to,
can you please elaborate on why the Hillbillies would not offer anyone money to shift some home matches down to you-know-where?
I mean, if their ground is vacant, and the Hillbillies stage some games there, and so turn a profit out of thin air...?
Surely you'd do the same in their situation???
I don't want to call you dumb but you are. The size of the crowd matters and we aren't going to get a crowd like the WB on the other side of the city. Luckily I doubt anyone has ever employed you. They couldn't be that silly.
Under such an arrangement (as above), the size of the crowd would be the problem of the Hillbillies. We (or the Poodles, or anyone else who signed up) would just turn up and play.
Then go home with a massive profit... c/f paying out to Collo' for the 'privilege' of having played that same game at Dockedlands.
PS: Luckily for me, there're a couple of 'silly' people right now. But thank you for your concern.
PPS: Luckily for us, I doubt anyone at our club has ever employed you to be involved in planning out our future directions.
However, your involvement in the billeting of our players was a much better move. And why do you always deny something that you should be proud of? (Besides, there's that article that used to be on the club website to prove it. )
I say sincere kudos to you on that, P66. No reason to 'hide your light under a bushel'. (Sorry of you don't get that ref... it's biblical. )
Here's how you could do it...
Re your and Jacks' concern, that's why I wrote the following sentence, and included the word 'if'...
"I mean, if their ground is vacant, and the Hillbillies stage some games there, and so turn a profit out of thin air...? "
So of course the Hillbillies would only do such a deal if there was some $$$ in it for them also. Yet they offered the Poodles $725K a game... and the Poodles very rarely draw significant crowds...
I haven't read the fine print (have you?), but the Poodles would hardly move some home games down there without a guaranteed significant financial pay-off. (Or is their management as incompetent as the Dreamon's recruiting department? )
PS: And I still say you shouldn't be in denial of your contributions to our club, P66. You should be proud.
Ive done nothing for the club. Maybe you have. Good on you if you have. And you aren't addressing the issues Dave. You are talking crap about playing games at Geelong and the JO. Neither will happen. You repeat the same crap over and over but its made up rubbish that could be shot down by a 5 year old. And I haven't read the fine print but I don't need to because you were the one making the silly statement.
