[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 786597, member: 40658"] It's probably because it's economically difficult to attend each match, and Bloemfontein for example is about 500km at least away from the other cities with a franchise team. Our lack of a public transport system certainly makes it very difficult. Where else should the Cheetahs play? There is only one rugby stadium in Bloemfontein, unless they play at a high school or university. The stadium is sponsored so it doesn't matter about the size of the stadium. The franchise would rather have a big stadium and not fill it, rather than have a small stadium and turn away fans... The crowds will get bigger as the teams perform, that's just how it works in SA. if the team plays poorly, the fans won't come to the matches. [/QUOTE]
