Round 6, 2009: Cowboys 34 - Sharks 10 at Hindmarsh Stadium

[RisingUp]

I just read that the Sharks will play the Cowboys at Hindmarsh Stadium in Adelaide next year.

Not sure when that games slated for but Sharks boss Tony Zappia and NRL boss David Gallop will be in Adelaide on Wednesday after the Grand Final to announce the deal with the South Australian goernment.

If they're expecting a big crowd, I can't see it happening.

Who's home game would it be.

 

[Sharkiiies]

Oh goodness sake .... why would you want to travel there..

 

[bort]

[vicsharkfan]

remind them not to forget to turn the lights off when they drive out of adelaide...

 

[IronShark]

Here we go again, relocation rumours anyone?

 

[Sharkiiies]

it just appears every team want to play a game or two else were to bring more fans to the game ... oh well good luck it wont be successfull

 

[brad]

why? its not going to work. perth is far more into league than adelaide. do they even have a major comp there? at least perth have a team in a major competition. lets hope that its the cowboys home game because this move is just stupid

They will get close to 20000 i reckon easy, adaliade love there footy and since the rams left they have been shut out,
it should be a good game if it goes through and a mad atmosphere

It's a Sharks home game. All being organised by the Sharks.

 

[Shark4Eva]

stupid decision, pointless, i mean i understand that they are trying to promote our great game but.... unneccessary movements of games takes away the atmosphere of home and away games for the teams.

this is a shocker i am starting to get into refereeing i am now a level 2 and will prob miss a few games because of saturday night appointments and they do this how stupid

[sharkfest2008]

isn't it meant to be cowboys vs sharks? normally when its sharks vs cowboys its meant to be our home...i heard that the nrl 2008 draw is released soon...

Why?

Money.

There is no way any club would up and move a home game unless it was worth considerably more money.

Someone go have a look at our crowd figures for the past 5 or so years when playing at Shark Park against the Cowboys. I'll take a stab that crowds are below average against the Cowboys.

Plenty of teams move home games for the added coin. Parramatta used to take a game to NZ every now and then. Manly to Blu Tongue. I think I also recall the Bulldogs shifting a certain home game a few times too.

Also to NZ (Wellington).

 

[Druzik]

Thats it.

Don't tell me they opted to play there for friendly home crowd and pleasant weather.
