Highlights of the Roosters 2019 Draw

[NorthChook]

Perhaps North Sydney Oval could be a nice option though seeing the deal with North Sydney Bears?

[Vasco]

trying to keep some parity in the NRL ladder, its not good for business if we win the minor premiership with a month left to go in the season.

Haha true.

"The Roosters will want to hit their straps early..."

I'm happy if we hit our straps in the first half of the GF a la 2018!

Absolutely. I think it's a must that they play at least one game there.

I'd like to see a game at Leichhardt Oval too.

There is a sentence on the Roosters site that all of the games bar 1 that are currently TBC are planned to be played at the SCG and the venues will be confirmed once our Adelaide match is confirmed. And that will be after the AFL draw is out as both the Adelaide AFL teams play on Adelaide Oval.

We only play most of the duds once.

I'm actually happy about this.

We play better against the good sides and they're always more entertaining clashes.

I'm actually pretty happy with our home game draw - only 1 Thursday night match (the other being ANZAC Day at 4.05 pm) and quite a few 2pm Sunday games which I much prefer to the 4pm games. Would prefer Gosford game on Sat 3pm but at least it's not an evening game, and Sunday 2pm is better than 4pm.

I actually don't think the Broncs supporters who go to the games get much joy out of Thursday night games. They are a pain in the backside because they start so late and then you have to work the next day. Great to watch on tele, not so great to attend. So if the Broncs getting most of the Thurs games means we get less, then I'm all for it!

A handy season draw graphic worth saving.

Wonder if we would take a match to North Sydney oval?

[BUDDY]

Only game that matters is who we play at ANZ on 6th October.

Like every year we don't know how each team will come up next year so who we play once or twice, at who's home ground and whether we have a 5 or 10 day break is trivial.

There is a reason Norffs planned to move to Gosford.

Zero corporate facilities from memory.

I doubt it will happen.

Great old ground though.

Interesting situation they have got into with the Central Coast game that exists now not being included in the membership

If more games are added to Central Coast are those ones included? Except for the one they have already committed to? I imagine that paying for a membership they would surely have to guarantee the 9 games they said were included are still included

This will get messy though, many Sydney members paid with a set number of games in mind to be played in Sydney.

How pi$$ed off and short changed would the Sydney based fans be who have already signed-up and paid for 2019 packages under the proviso that 9 games would be played at the SCG.
I don't recall the membership team mentioning a murmur that 6 games would be tentative pending the AFL draw. Is that because many would hold off and consider their options once all was known?
Hmmm, not happy Jan . It remains to be seen if the club would consider part refunding the paid-up 2019 season ticket holders if say only 3 or 4 of the 6 TBC games are confirmed.

I really like the Good Friday game v Storm in Melb. I'll be thinking bout traveling from BNE for that...or Syd if I move back there by then. I hope there are lots of Roosters fans there.

Exactly! Would imagine the PR team is having a meltdown trying to be careful with responses to curious fans and members about this. They won’t promise anything nor be clear about it.

In the current climate I doubt they would provide any refunds unfortunately- probably saying those games are still free to members even at Central Coast and probably will through an extra BBQ or something in to try and ’make it up to fans’.

The backlash will be bad and I imagine this will effect us trying to sign members up for the next 3 years not being able to guarantee games at the SCG depending on the AFL schedule (which I’m sure they would love to disrupt NRL members)

Screw the corporates. Most of them only there for the shitty food and drink anyway.

Without the corporates we would be The Tigpies or Poocastle or Norffs themselves.

Farked basically.

Money is what sets us apart from being average.

Embrace the suit.

In saying that I never sit in the members or a box if Easts play. Cant smell the footy from up there.
