Analysis Single Malt GC Sporting Updates (TITANS NEWZ)

[kreglze]

I think we all know what will happen here and that is the AFL will increase the amount of money it gives to the Suns probably via COLA allowence or some other 3rd party scheme. This will upset the heartland clubs and their fans even more.

Just curious, why do you think this would happen?

Because this is what the AFL do.
They said the Suns along with the Giants were 10 year plans. In the Suns case i think it will take longer if they are to be successful.
The jury is still out at the moment on the Giants.

Sort of agree with this.
IMO, the AFL set The Suns up to be competitive, unfortunately injuries the last 2 yrs have stymied this a fair bit.
However The AFL the next year, set GWS up to win the Competition and I don't believe the jury IS out. I believe they well and truly can win it, just don't know when.

Igues somewhere earlier the Hayne effect has been discussed? imagine 3 QLD NRL teams doing well..? Last season 2 did well and we saw a drop in QLDAFL juniors numbers. Imagine the effect Hayne is going to have, and especially the the Titans are already doing well this season?

GC have a fight on their hands. They are losing, and the Titans have just pulled of a major coup..

Gaz in decline - while Titans ramp up their profile.
Suns need to become more locally relevant - maybe recruit more locals ?
Not sure average interstate recruits will cut the mustard going forward. Think locals would far rather follow young Queenslanders having a go. - especially if we continue to get beaten anyway.
Set up an us against them mentality . Has worked for WA / SA in the past....

At least 60% of the crowd were Warriors supporters attending their one game of the year.
Don't believe the hype.

Pretty good result for AFL in this town
2 of the worst seasons by any AFL Club ever vs an ARL team with success +late Hayne
I'd say that's a win for us

I bought a 3 game membership this year.
Went to the game v north arrived an hour early and couldn't get a seat in GA so stood for the game. Went to the game v Brisbane arrived 90 minutes early and couldn't get a seat in GA so stood for half the game then ended up watching the game on TV near the 5th qtr bar. Didn't even bother using my last game. Wasn't going to get a seat.

Do they sell out the GA? I think it's the reserved seat members letting the club down.
Either that or not enough members for reserved seating. Maybe need to increase GA seating size and reduce reserved seats.

How about helping the club and buy a reserved seat.

I think the GA size is too small.
If you can attract new fans usually initially through GA

Then they are more likely to buy a membership the following seasons

Unfortunately making sure I've got money for food on the table to feed my single income family takes precedence.

Try the far end always plenty of GA seats there. I sit up there 6 times a year and often don't get to the game until 30 mins before

Totally fudged figure. Sneaky 25 percent added easily.

Why can't people from the Gold Coast like the Titans and the Suns they're both struggling in terms of finance, attendance, consistency instead of fighting each other you should be helping each other grow and supporting both of the teams as the Gold Coast community
