We have not won a game at Belmore since the 9th July, 2017 against the knights….

Is it really worth the novelty when we always lose at Belmore?

Anybody think they know why we play so badly there? Is it because they can’t switch out of training mode? Is it just a coincidence, since we have been shit since 2017?

We also were going to lose that game if Trent Hodgkinson doesn’t boot the ball into an Mbye Charge Down to win the game lol

Sounds about right…. I don’t know of any other team having a spiritual home ground they always lose at haha.
I like the drawing crowd aspect of it but then reality sets in that we just suck balls playing there

Is there a noise restriction at Belmore for no night games to be played? Always seems to be day games.

We didn't even fill the shitty "stadium" so what's the point?

We play the Tigers in round 3 and the broncos in round 20 at Belmore. Both very winnable games we will likely lose due to the belmore curse.

It’s just crazy we would persist with it when there’s literally no benefit to us.

So that's 2 guaranteed losses for us...

Could be wrong but it seems like the stadium wouldn’t have enough lighting for a night game
In 2018 we played the Raiders there at night. We led by 16 with 5 minutes to go. Then the ‘curse’ got us…or maybe we played some really dumb footy, either way we lose on the bell.

7000 not bad considering it was just a trial game. But fuck it was hot on the Benny Hill.
