Article on Uncle Nick - The Start of our Campaign to avoid relocation??

[Easts75]

If the Roosters were to relocate or merge with another club I would never watch another game of League in my life, I would have zero interest

It will be based on finances. The supporters that should be worried are Tigers, Manly and Sharks.

[mattyh]

ive heard manly should be fine, due to geographical area ? i think cronulla should be the team ...hate em

[Hawkeye]

Everyone keeps pointing the financial finger at the Sharks, but wasn't there an article at the weekend saying they are about to inherit a $40m windfall ?

They were hoping to win Powerball!

You can do it Jon..................Roosters above politics.

Anyway, I cant see us being anywhere near being a candidate for relocating. The Roosters are Sydney now.
Making the Homebush rabbitohs bugger off would make more sense

Don't underestimate Nick & his very very wealthy business contacts buying the vermin and simply shutting them down.

I suppose that if they wanted to buy souffs it would only cost them about $5 and 20 odd hotdogs.

NRL to have powers to force clubs to relocate under clause in licensing agreement

#####

Yes, and we would have the right to get a bank of lawyers and challenge that clause in the courts!.



The NRL wants the power to relocate clubs should they find themselves in financial trouble under a new clause in the game's licensing agreement that is set to rock the competition.

Under the proposed ''perpetual'' licence agreement, clubs face the risk of folding if they do not meet a certain financial threshold and reject the NRL's bid to relocate.

#####

That says 'financial trouble' only.

We/clubs need to read that "perpetual licence agreement" very carefully before signing...read the fine print.

Given the Shire is a baked-on Liberal seat, I think I can vote against the Tories and they still win, thus avoiding the conflict. Problem is, who else to vote for? They’re all cnuts.

If only there was a Craig Fitzgibbon-led, Science, Music and Football party that I could get behind.

> The Roosters football entity made a $715,054 net profit from $30m revenue last year, according to documents recently lodged with the corporate regulator, though it only achieved that result after a $3.28m grant from the Easts Group leagues club.

LOL can somebody introduce me to their accountant?

To be fair, a lot of Easts fans will be in the seat of Sydney. I've always been represented by pretty darn good independents.

It’s a conundrum for sure. Part of me thinks that the Libs’ plan to redevelop SFS will help us in the long term. Ie, having a kick arse home ground in our area is greater reason to keep us as the Sydney team. I may have to bite the bullet and vote Libs. Yeaucchhh.

Long term, yes. The new stadium will be great.
But remember the ground could become souffs, sharks or dragons home ground too.

We need active memberships.
We need to get the woy woy area included as easts junior catchment, and go to court and get the areas stolen from us in the redistribution back.

The biggest concern for us is playing at the SCG for the next 3 seasons, or possibly longer.

Whilst winning will always be good for business, it's crowd numbers that will get the bandwagon moving faster.

Sydney FC have been clever in playing games at boutique Stadiums. Easts should consider doing the same.

Our supporter base live all over town so why not play around town on the odd occasion.
