Sydney is not like Melbourne where docklands and the MCG is walking distance from Hawthorn, Richmond, Carlton and Collingwood.
You’re not going to have Manly, Sharks and Dragons fans travelling to the SFS from the South Coast, Northern Beaches and the Shire, and you’re not going to have Penrith fans travelling to Parramatta to watch their team play a home game.
Gallop when he was NRL CEO proposed a 2 stadium solution where teams play out of the SFS and and Stadium Australia, they tried this for a few seasons with a few teams and it failed miserably because there was less crowds, and fans were not willing to travel to these 2 stadiums from their area.
Sydney Stadiums: Accor should be a palace, while Penrith become the bad guys from 'The Castle'
There are people in NSW who wouldn’t really care if they lose the GF.
Political grandstanding abounds as stadium stoush gets ugly - but it's correct call to cancel suburban upgrades
Lets get a couple of things straight.
Firstly, The A-League and NBL are not in competition with each other despite what the media say and there is no need to sensationalise this by calling NBL as fierce rivals. Both A-League and NBL have worked together in the past.
Secondly, the $140m money that the APL got from Silverlake did not go towards the Keep Up project, $40m was invested by both the APL and the board members of the APL. And I can write a story about Keep Up if I want to. The $140m was for capital growth for the APL to invest within the league.
The APL threw a KEEPUP hail Mary and blew it big time. Is the NBL's model the way to go?
