But don't play the Warriors.

Its not a simple as some people seem to think.
I suspect the "4 times the profit of a normal game" is a somewhat inflated figure.
Suspect that profit at brookie excludes ticketed members and sposors income which realistically should be taken into account and split between the 10 home games a year (certainly members).
Given we have 10,000 members, (some paying $60 some paying $300+) say at and average of $100 each there is the 100K for 10 games a year, that ecludes the walk up ticket sales @ $25 a head, 4,000 walk ups = 100K.
Needless to say if we were to increase games away then membership profits would suffer so its not like if we played 12 games away a year we would make 4 times the profit.

I'm not sure that $100k per home game comes from memberships.
Like I've stated previously, it's windfalls like the Perth game that subsidise and allow Manly to play out of Brookvale oval.
Fans will eventually need to decide whether having a financially strong club is less important than playing 8 games a year at Brookvale.
I'm glad the club can see the way forward.

As I mentioned before, the figure David referred to was from gate takings. It does not include additional sponsorship revenue gained from the new market, corporate hospitality or retail sold.
You are correct in saying the Brookvale figures do not account for members, so they are slightly misleading. Having said that, we also sold memberships in WA that were not included in that $400k figure.

Talk of a handy financial windfall looks very much on the cards Fluffy given we are talking about either (a) paying money in rent that takes away from game day profits at Brookie, vs (b) being paid to play at another ground and also earning profits on that gate (higher attendance, more corporates, etc).

You would since I'be been told u live closer to the Sunshine Coast then to Brookvale. Anyway I guess more games to Perth won't be a bad idea. Hey WAMF do u think we should play half or more home games there?

It was terrific that it was the Warriors game and not the Storm. There was just too much at stake for members and good on the club for listening.
The great thing in being an early adoptor of markets like Perth is the flow-on membership and interest it generates. The more Sea Eagle fans the better.

That begs the question as to (did we & if we are still) capitalising on our past association on the Sunshine Coast.
