Re: Tamworth sold out for Round 7 clash against Knights
Its funny how you see a lot of supporters of teams in unusual towns
Amazed how many WT's fans live in Gladstone , met two more yesterday at work
I think I've seen 5 WT's number plates now
Apart from the Qld sides the most of any other clubs is 2 Raiders number plates
Bunnies enjoy a fair few supporters up here as well

- that the NSWRL rugby league existed for 80 years before expanding to the ARL
- State Of Origin as we know it has only been in place since 1980
- small towns are not necessarily bound to their local big city, and in fact often push against that influence
- rugby league fans tend to be die-hards
- fans tend to support along family or associate lines nowadays rather than locality
- for most of the code's history, players have not been forced to play for the local side
- fans who support teams different from the local favourite may be inspired to be more publicly obvious about who they support
Then actually I'm not that surprised at all. Of all the Queenslanders I know and meet, plenty of them are anti-Broncos and anti-Brisbane.

You will be surprised at the number of people who follow Sydney clubs up here.
And most people who don't support them can't stand them because of the biased reporting up here.
Support for the tiger's is quite strong in this area
I always change radio stations or television channels when local media start talking knights
But let's face it
It is their town and it's never going to change ao ignoring it is the best option
The decision to play the game at Tamworth would have been made well before the current good form of both the knights and tigers.Ironically,they probably would have drawn more supporters than scully parks 11000 had they had the game at usual venues.
ive lived in the north west of the state for the past 20 years and its great for tamworth and country league.
country cynics always say that nsw stands for newcastle,sydney and wollongong.
its a generalisation,but there are heaps of traditional league supporters in the area.lots of saints and parra supporters.
ive got tickets and im excited.

I think that it is more about establishing a base in Tamworth, similar to what the Panthers have done in Bathurst.
Hold training sessions build a partnership with the local teams and help develop their junior players and if there are any good prospects sign them.

Game was sold out and I read that there were only 10,000+ at the game. Really?
You’d think there are country grounds out there that could hold more than 10k

If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse

the ground has a capacity of 11000 and there were 10000 odd there but you couldnt swing a dead cat on the hill.
the lines for food and beer were forever but i havent been to a live game for a few years,so i wouldnt know what to expect.
you are closer to the action ,similar to leichhart in that matter.
there were certainly more tiger supporters there than knight supporters.
so was it a good move to play a game in tamworth- hard to say- the result wasnt great but it was a good experience for regional tiger supporters.
