As we approach the Voice referendum on Saturday 14 October, the outcome is still very uncertain. Polls are pointing to a win for the No case – but polls have been wrong before.

Sticky Fingers ready to hand out even bigger sonic rock for Grass Is Greener Festival

The Wagga game on Saturday, 9 April, against the Melbourne Storm, is a Raiders home fixture.

Put simply, fans are reluctant to head out into the cold and understandably so. In announcing the 2022 draw, the NRL has responded with seven home games from 29 May to be played in the afternoon in Canberra.

Photo: File. Confirmation from the ACT Government that there will be no work on a proposed indoor sports stadium in Civic – potentially on the site of Canberra Olympic Pool – until later this decade should come as no surprise.

The conference system could impact crowd numbers at Canberra Stadium if the proposal goes ahead. Photo: Canberra Raiders. Every time rugby league has a ‘vision’ to help the league, it has the potential to cause heart palpitations among Raiders supporters. Remember Super League? That period in the Raiders’ history is lamentable and resulted in fans walking away from the code and the team.
Footy's return a time for Canberra to come together again
The communion of the stands: time to celebrate getting our lives back. Photo: File. Footy’s back! With full capacity crowd numbers and the prospect that we’ve got this COVID-19 thing beat. We may have to take it one game at a time as the vaccine roll-out continues and the odd evacuation flight brings potential cases to our quarantine hotels, but the communion of the stands takes Canberra further towards functioning as a society again.
