Sydney losing the Grand Final......

Has delayed the arrivial of the next NSW team (western sydney most likley) by at least another 3-4 years.

Do we care about your hypothesising?

You know nothing about the northern markets, regardless of where you live.

If true, good.

 

[cosmonaut]

I disagree.

I don't think Sydney would be a viable location for a second side for at least another 10-15 years. The fact that they lost on Saturday does little to change that.

They need to stay competitive to keep Sydney interested, but not win the thing every year.

 

[Kaitsey]

i dont think sydney will have a 2nd side for at least another 20 years.

the support is still not that great. look at the turn out at the SCG, a few hundred people...

 

[Ari]

....and kept the Western Bulldogs and Kangaroos in the competition.

I can live with that.

 

[MF]

I dont think a 2nd Sydney side is a viable option for another 20 years or more. The best solution would be to maybe relocate a struggling victorian side there sometime in the next 10 years. This would mean despite some fans jumping off the wagon that the side would have an established fan base and could build from there.

 

[dims]

I live in Sydney and I'm telling you its waaaay to early for a 2nd Sydney team.

 

[nswfooty]

I don't want a second Sydney team, let's get everyone behind the Swans first. Unless there is a massive influx of Vics/SA/WA people moving to Western Sydney who are willing to give up their current allegiances to the support a new team.

 

[magilla]

in about ten years the afl will own sydney.
they will have a choice of ten new nsw sides.
well new to afl anyway.

Rubbish. That has nothing to do with it.

A second Sydney team and a Gold Coast-based side will not be introduced for another 10-20 years.

As a Victorian, how did you come up with these figures?

And why id it that finihsing second in one of the best grand finals in the modern era will postpone development?

 

[almqvist]

there will be a gold coast side before anything else

You forgot 'lost by a point' as well.

 

[Sir_Adrian84]

why do we need another sydney team anyway, with salary caps and other restrictions they can have 100,000 members and it will not see them dominate.

 

[NSWCROW]

Roos to QLD
Hawks to TASSIE
Who's next ???

 

[mrbehemoth]

No it hasn't. Unsupportable statement.
