Moore Park

mode of transport? So I live about 15 minutes from Kensington light rail.

So I often just walk there, hop on the light rail, get off at Moore Park and then get to the ground.

And then after the game, I don't dawdle.

I want you to stay right to the end.

You get a car park, don't you?

No, no, no, no.

What, at Moore Park?

Yeah.

This is Sports Today with Spiro Christopoulos.

The wait is nearly over for rugby league fans as we count down to kickoff in the opening match of the 2026 Rugby League World Cup in Sydney with an absolute blockbuster between Australia and New Zealand at Allianz Stadium in front of a sold-out crowd at Moore Park in Sydney's eastern suburbs.

Hello and welcome to Sports Today on 2GB and 4BC.

Spiro Christopoulos in the chair tonight filling in for Adam Hawes as he takes a well-earned break for the remainder of the week.

The last sellout was 1974 when 55,000 fans saw the third test between Australia and Great Britain, also at the SCG.

Well, you know, this crowd would be the biggest... at Moor Park since 1992.

On that occasion, there was 40,141 at the old SFF to see Australia beat Great Britain 22-6.

I was at that game.

Couldn't work out what it was.

After about eight months of trying to work out what it was, I went to a sports physician in Moore Park in Sydney, and that's the first time I've gone anywhere with the word sports in the title-

[laughs]

... 'cause sports were not my thing, and they're still not.

Critical time of the year, middle of winter, because that's when, um, you know, the industry most-- the prosperity is best achieved during the middle of winter.

Um, and in the location that's been the heart and soul of, um, uh, the boat show since it moved into, uh, this area in 1986 from the old Sydney Showground at Moore Park.

Um, and it hasn't been there.

So recent years, a version of the Sydney Boat Show moved to, um, Homebush and, um, you know, w-we, we supported and wish the, the BAL their luck with their event.
