Well then why was it on the Media.

Fans can't go to Games then.

Though they said at Certain Grounds they have Places where they could get more Fans In

They're letting fans into corporate boxes, 50 per box. This means that each corporate box is like a bar/pub in NSW, which can have up to 50 patrons at the right social distance.

So this means that the total crowd attendance for each game is a bit unclear, mostly because it depends on how many corporate boxes are at each venue.

The linked article suggests that the League is hoping to have fans in regular seats by the end of the month. Again, they'd have to be appropriately spaced out, but it seems feasible if there's no COVID-19 spike.

Small groups of fans allowed back for Round 5 NRL games

A small number of fans will be allowed back at NRL games in NSW stadiums as early as next Friday after a directive from the state government.

I think its 50 per corporate box and 50 per catered restaurant.

No idea why the AFL doesn't have a few thousand crowds allowed with social distance applied. So dumb

I heard someone from the AFL said that crowds will probably come in time but he thought that 50 is such a token that it barely makes a difference.

My understanding is that it is more than 50; that it's 50 in each corporate box. Hardly a healthy crowd, but I'd call it more than a token.

But would Members get these corporate box or just the corporate's and people will spend big Money to get in?

I think I read that the sponsors will get first crack at the corporate boxes, maybe it was in the article I posted. In any case, it'll be a minimal number of people until seating is allowed in the stands, which might well preference members at first.

So Members still have to stay home.

Heard on the Radio this Morning that Vic Goverment might look of Bringing Crowds back once they know what Impact the Protest has made

"Before security comes into it, simply put the lender needs to be convinced it will be repaid with business cash flow, not by realising security."

You are spot on Sideswipe (love the name by the way). Given the uncertainty of the AFL's cashflow going forward, why would any self respecting Bank lent to them? Implicit Government pressure/guarantees perhaps! Other than that, it looks a pretty risky lend.

Real world operators may not have been the best choice of words - fair to say I'm not a fan of the overly PC environment we live in today. V'Landys appears to be a bloke who doesn't subscribe to that shit whilst McLachlan and his cohorts do. Just an observation.

NRL agrees to a new TV deal with a circa 27% reduction. AFL negotiates a 13% reduction. Who is your winner now?

NRL for 2 reasons.

1. 27 is bigger than 13
2. 13 is bad luck
