New ARLC supremo V'landys confident next TV deal will rise from $1.8 billion
The NSW Government is spending $2 billion to upgrade the ageing stadia network. V’Landys said suburban grounds won’t be forgotten and that he is seeking additional funding for them, with Manly’s Brookvale Oval a priority.
“Everyone knows my love for tribalism and suburban grounds,” he said.
“We want suburban grounds and we want to have the must-haves ... all the things customers want. We will be looking very hard at suburban grounds and how do we fund suburban grounds.”

I think it was Brent Read who then asked about Bankwest vs Brookie and Big V gave a more detailed vision on how he was going to get us more moneys from Gladys

New ARLC chairman shoots down relocation – The Roar
V’landys also confirmed upgrading Manly’s dilapidated Brookvale Oval is a high priority and will be the first suburban stadium the ARLC will focus on using his contacts in government, ideally, “tomorrow”.
“Brookvale Oval needs urgent attention,” he said.
“I will use my relationships with government in looking at the suburban grounds. That’s of high priority for me because I believe tribalism is an important element in our game, and in order to have tribalism you need to give people venues and facilities.
“We need to drive that tribalism with fans and make them more parochial, and make them want to follow a team, but there’s no good doing it with a bad experience at a bad ground with rotten toilets and no food and beverage, the ground’s not safe. All of that needs to be fixed.”

Once he does, will you change this Thread to 'Grrreat start ....'
I was just flicking through the News channels yesterday and happened to hear the only issue that interested me - Brookie
I've never heard anyone at the NRL say anything constructive let alone prioritise the old girl. Then the tweet about the TurBros was released.

Agree. Almost everytime Todd Greenburg speaks a sentence with the word 'Manly' in it, we lose. I was quite taken aback by his brookie comments. Early days, just words etc. but hopefully he follows through as his reputation suggests he will.
As mentioned on this forum by more that a few. The northern beaches and north shore is loosing ground to AFL with the juniors at a pretty steady rate. I know on the north shore that Rugby numbers are very down with my old club whom used to have 4 grades now only fielding one.
Where as the AFL team from the next suburb is growing. As a kid I loved both League and Rugby as did all the boys at school. You played both at any opportunity you got and most of the kids either played or watched.
If the NRL keep ignoring north of the bridge, they will lose a large area that is very affluent and will be making decisions about sports, community and business. With the next generations of kids that become the decision makers it would be nice to have them as fans like were and voiced our opinions.

Big V could cross promote with his racing gig and rename Brookie to 'Golden Eagle'

Love to know the arguments lodged for the 2 Refs by the rest of the attendees
The Rep games have all been free flowing and none of the Refs has never made the front pages 😎
Too much nit picking and not enough first grade level Refs should have pushed the ARLC to revert to a single referee
I’ll give him another week. If he’s not spotted having breakfast with Greenphlem or Uncle Nick, I’ll change it. 😛
If by chance, he is spotted having breaky with Gladys and or our CEO? then we’ll go with "Fkn outstanding start".
The breakfast may simply have been to tell those two that their unfettered reign is coming to an end. Which would be a civilised way to operate. #changethethreadtitle

For mine, relocating a club is the dumbest thing.
First you alienate not only the local fan base by moving their team away, but you alienate the entire fan base of that club. Its losing fans on one hand and hoping to get new fans to replace them on the other hand. Its madness, you don't lose fans to gain new ones. You keep the ones you already have and then add to that.
Secondly its well known that Australia isn't America. Unlike the US where big league teams have a history of moving clear across the country if another city offers them a better deal (new stadium/arena etc), fans in Australia want a team of their own to support. Everyone keeps saying things like the "Perth Sharks" with Cronulla moving. But the people in Perth (and Adelaide) are much more likely to support their own start up team (even if the players themselves are "imports") than they are a re-located one.
For all intents and purposes.....re-locating a team, especially to another city/state, is doing nothing but robbing Peter to pay Paul.

On the other hand, has does a poor suburban Sydney club compete with a one-team one-city powerhouse with a potential fan base of two million?
