Add the fact of further inconvenience to interstate members who cannot plan their travel with the current floating fixture concept now being exacerbated because of a lack of same day return travel. The implications for interstate members upon their work commitments and cost of supporting their team are obvious.Makes it very hard for many members to attend who are regional, have young kids or work early the next day.
The AFL doesn't care though & neither do the broadcasters.
He's negotiating TV rights because the vast majority of revenue comes through TV rights. What do you want him to be doing?Gill must be losing the plot as his influencers have him under their spell. The norm is to have six seven day break but if you play Thursday then next game following Sunday to long. Then on the other end you might play Sunday & have to front up Thursday/Friday. Not the only issue as Gill off to USA to broker a deal for Broadcast rights. Why ?. Commission ?. Do think Gil has been an abject failure due to let the Stand, 10 metre ,deliberate out of bounds & now the Umpire abuse rules be introduced. The umpires are paid big bucks & to be offended when a player is penalised after waving his arms in disgust at a decision is just beyond belief.

This.Love Thursday night footy. Should be a game every week
Thursday night footy is brilliant… when it’s not us…This.
Whenever there isn't a Thursday night AFL, I watch the NRL which is on every Thursday. Going to watch the games makes it a bit of a challenge with kids schooling etc.

Fully agree I4. Also why have it during the bye rounds???Well its us for 2 weeks. and tbh, i'm annoyed by the lack of outrage from Richmond supporters. Footy fans really are sheep when it comes to decisions made by city hall. We just suck it up and cop it, even if we hate it. and the AFLFA are bloody useless toothless tigers. You can include the RFC in this. Not even a public statement from the club.
I’ll bet you my left nut there will be no more than 25,000 on Thursday.
