NRL Sydney 1st week finals to be relocated
The National Rugby League Chairmen and Chief Executives have today agreed that week one finals hosted by Sydney teams should be moved from ’home venues’ to either the Sydney Football Stadium or ANZ Stadium.
The decision brings week one venue allocations with the current ‘home city’ system that applies in week two of the Finals.
Clubs supported the move at the NRL Annual Conference on the basis that fans would know at the start of each season where they could expect to be playing should they make the finals.
“A big part of the growth in membership in the game has been the need for members to be assured of the chance to get the best seats at the big games at the end of each year,†NRL Chief Executive Mr David Gallop said today.
“The commitment we have made to them all along is that we will not move matches at the last minute and this move allows them to buy their membership packages knowing what to expect.
“Importantly, the move will allow ‘away’ team members greater opportunity and will be able to better accommodate those clubs that have memberships spread across multiple venues.â€Â
