Saints off to Townsville round 13

[Jacks Back]

Riverway?

Surely the stadium is named after some crass commercial interest?

I think Riverway is a plastic bag manufacturer??

Its a Gold Coast home game so what choice does the club have?

Saints are playing an interstate game at a neutral venue which neither side has played at before. Its better than playing Gold Coast at their home. Lets be serious, its therefore a blessing.

Ok Ted that's your opinion . IMO Collingwood would not agree to play Gold Coast in Townsville to me Its shows how irrelevant we have become . As I said if this is what we have to do then do it but I don't see it as a blessing .

Collingwood don't get to 'agree' to anything. They play wherever the AFL tells them to.

There's no way the AFL would send Collingwood to Townsville though, as there's far more revenue to be had by filling Gold Coast's home ground.

I've been to a few games at Metricon....The home ground advantage is diminished by shutting the crowd up by leading on the scoreboard and
outplaying them.

We get good numbers of saints supporters there, only leveller in Townsville may be lack of suns supporters.
