Sydney Roosters demanding the NRL Grand Final be moved to Allianz Stadium, warning that their fans won’t travel to Olympic Park
COMFORT ZONE: Hundreds of Sydney Roosters fans have gathered to protest outside Allianz Stadium this afternoon.
They’re demanding the NRL relocate this Sunday’s Grand Final from Accor Stadium in Olympic Park to Allianz Stadium at Moore Park.
“Our members have made it clear,” says a club spokesperson. “They simply wont travel to Olympic Park. Most of them have never even heard of it.”
It comes despite Accor Stadium only being a 25 minute drive from Bondi, with comprehensive public transport options available.
“I looked up Accor Stadium on Google Maps, and it’s basically in the outback,” one protester told DBT.
The NRL is yet to formally respond to the Sydney Roosters’ request.
Roosters fans say if their request is denied, they’ll just watch the game on a big screen at the Robin Hood Hotel.
