This would allow us to definately plan for our launch, get sponsors and players signed up and create a real buzz in the city. If they leave it till 2012 to decide then it will be a lot harder and not as well planned out.
We have a bid committee now formed and I can see us really ramping up our credentials over the next 18 months. We know we face a massive up hill battle due to Gallop and the NRL's lack of vision for the sport but we won't go down without a fight!
The first steps were taken with the launch of the Reds last year, we have a game in a couple of weeks to make some noise at and then its onwards and upwards!
i think theyll have a clearer picture of expansion when the independant report is published on Tv deal. i thinks its published next year??
How many are they expecting for bunnies game and how are ticket sales? i would like to think they can get 15000 for a reg season game considering they got 10000 for a pre-season game. A strong showing would give the NRL no choice but to at least consider the Reds.
