deluded pom?

I’ve contacted a few clubs. Some reply acknowledging your email but never respond again. Some don’t even have the courtesy to answer. Easy money being ignored because of apathy. I visualise the person reading my email smoking a Gauloise whilst shrugging their shoulders.

It’s obviously a horses for courses thing. Yanto will tell you that when they initially brought RL to the Netherlands they focussed on union players. If you speak to him now I recall him saying he would avoid union players altogether for the very reasons you have highlighted. I think the USA have hogtied themselves to a season that is so short because of the heavy reliance of union players. Until they grasp the nettle and give players more than a six match season for fear of upsetting union players they will never go anywhere IMO.

I always make a point of looking in estate agent’s windows whenever I go anywhere to gauge what sort of property you get for your money (don’t ask). When I was in Auckland in 2017 you didn’t much for your bucks anywhere central.

But playing it at a stadium that holds 25,000 as a curtain raiser doesn’t do it any favours. If the ARL don’t give the GF much respect why should the fans? They could make a day of it with the women’s final and a lower grade final.

Wouldn’t it? Asking a serious question.

Are there any neutral venues in Auckland with a couple of decent stands and a 5,000-10,000 capacity?

Please accept my sincerest apologies.

That isn’t what was said though. The comments were that the GF deserved it’s own day at a smaller stadium than Mt Smart. Nobody said any other games should be moved to a neutral venue.
