No Home Finals for the Broncos....

The success of the Queensland Reds and Brisbane Roar threatens to deny the Brisbane Broncos the opportunity to play finals footy in front of a packed house at Suncorp Stadium.

In an extraordinary outcome for Brisbane sports fans, the popularity of the three teams has put the stadium at risk of breaching its annual cap on big games.
Under the little-known terms of Lang Park's development approval, the stadium is permitted to host only 24 big games each year - a crowd of more than 25,000 people - due to concerns over noise and traffic congestion. However, as of Friday night the 52,500-seat stadium had already hosted 19 "big games" this year.

With Friday night's Broncos-Gold Coast Titans game drawing 31,035 fans and similar crowds tipped for Brisbane's remaining four regular-season games, and given the Wallabies' Bledisloe Cup match on August 27 will be a near sell-out, the stadium will hit the cap before the NRL finals.

Ok Can't just post the article, the 3 word count is outside of Quotes?

We will have home finals,

 

[user_nat]

What a stupid limit to have.

 

[ningnangnong]

That is absolutely bizarre.

I think sanity will prevail though, should it come to us hosting a final.

 

[vertigo]

As if we would lose a final, the uproar would be enormous.

 

[Kimlo]

That would be abso-****ing-lutely ridiculous.
If we get top 4 we better get a home final.

 

[Jeba]

Would be no dramas in Sydney - they don't even go close to getting 25,000 fans to 24 games a year.

 

[Fozz]

Burn!

 

[Charmamba]

We will be fine - Brisbane Broncos fans won't affect the noise pollution levels.

remember saying this?

Wow, quality of BHQ has really gone down. No prizes for guessing who the usual culprits are.

I guess in this thread you are the usual culprit?

 

[ningnangnong]

Er, let's keep it about the topic at hand and not personal issues.

But that would mean Rock would have to try not to deflect attention from his damaged ego and that was hard enough with the Maroons winning again for him.

we will get a home final should we qualify, but unless something can be worked out it will either mean moving the game or just limiting it to 25k tickets.

IMO it will get worked out, the NRL will make sure of that because they get profits from all finals games.

good news.

"
"The alternative, that's right, would be to say the Broncos can only have 25,000 people at a semi-final match."
"

Limiting it to 25000 would be even worse!!
Is he saying he will get rid of the rule all together or that they will be allowed to play but with a 25000 ticket limit?

This will become a major issue if the 2nd Brisbane team is admitted in the NRL and plays out of Suncorp, unless they want to revamp ANZ and use it...

How many times did the Crushers get 25K people to a game?

How many times did the Crushers get 25K people to a game?

Only in late 1997 when they threw the gates open because they were going bankrupt.
