With all the talk about rugby league stadiums, solutions, ideas, and how to improve crowds in the NRL, the answer is simple.

The way to boost attendances and support your team is to buy a membership, and whenever you can, attend a game.

Sounds simple right? There will be problems about transport and distances but if you really care about your club, put those issues aside, harden up and go out there.

When you consider the history and success of all the Sydney teams of varying degrees, it’s embarrassing the crowds they draw in the current age. There’s no excuses. There are reasons to make yourself feel better about not going, but that’s the easy way out.

We should be seeing suburban grounds sell out and Sydney Football Stadium and ANZ Stadium should be at least half capacity every week but it doesn’t happen unfortunately.

I’m sick of rugby league being referred to as a ‘TV’ sport. That’s an excuse for laziness and not going to the game.

If you really care about the game and your team, show up at the ground, not at home on the couch.
