Interesting, but they ask some strange questions.
57% of people want games taken away from traditional home grounds and played at the SFS? That result just doesn't sound right to me. It must be swayed by all the people who couldn't get to the Dragons v Eels game. Judging by the ranking of popularity of teams, the teams in the top 8 are too dominant, probably due to the bandwagoners.
94% of people want more football on Saturday or Sunday afternoon, but 57% think Monday night football is here to stay (they don't ask whether people want it to stay, of course).
