Parramatta Stadium Rebuild and other stuff

[T.S Quint]

Also, snow is pretty heavy. New stadiums might be built to withstand a blizzard, but older ones not so much. The Metrodome roof collapsed 5 times..

That was an inflatable roof. They probably should have known better, or at least learnt after the first time.

I've sat at the SFS, stood on the hills of Kogarah, Campbelltown and Leichhardt all in the pissing down rain.
After a while you don't even notice. Apart from my beer getting a bit watery.

So have I mate.. I was at the Cumberland Oval game when the infamous photo of Paul Taylor was taken. Stood in the rain all afternoon as a 15 y.o.
Fans these days are soft cocks.
Support my teams rain, hail or shine.

I may not sit on the hill if it's hailing though.

Well after the 3rd time you would hope they started wondering about it

Yeah I was at that game too. Never forget it. My brother and I sat on one of those raised wooden seating deathtraps and it did not stop pissing down.

I do recall a penalty try being awarded to the Roosters and me wondering what the f**k was going on because I had never seen or heard of one before. I also recall we lost.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Are you guys referring to the game where Taylor made about 112 tackles?

Waiting to hear from Bandana Man on this.

I'm a bit a cynic and reckon that this petition thing has a lot to do with raising his own profile.

It probably is.
Fitzsimons may be a complete tool, but he's not a moron. He could easily look at the data and see that the money being spent on these stadiums is a drop in the ocean compared to what will get spent on schools and hospitals over the next 5 years.
He wants to be seen as a champion of the people, and it works for everyone who doesn't like sports (of which there are an awful lot of in NSW).

Which is why I have said previously on the Stadia thing that if we are broke then fine, spend it on schools etc. But dont whinge about the stadia if you are going to remain silent on the squillion to be spent on the Opera House and Art Gallery (which is going to triple in size).

If anyone needs a roof on their stadium it's the Buffalo Bills.

From the weekend ...

They were playing the Colts (who i support and will be there on Thursday night Football this week at Lucas Oil Stadium) so i got up at 5am to watch it. It was insane and of course we lost in OT........

I am a bit young for that but i remember being at a game when i was young on the Southern hill (before it became the alcohol free hill) where you couldn't even see the game through the driving rain. Sterling kicked a field goal during it, we didn't see it but the stat sheet and ref said he did. I just sat there in the rain.

No amount of rain has ever stopped me from going to a game.

I reckon I might have been there too.

I was there.

I was there sitting on those wooden death traps in the north east corner. When the penalty try was awarded to Rocky Laurie the rooster supporter in front of me jumped up and down so much that the planks broke and he fell through. Even though Parra lost one of my most memorable days at the footy.
What about the try Sterling scored when he just kept kicking it ahead and the roosters players kept diving over the top of the ball

How TF do you merkins remember games with fine detail ? I must have destroyed all those brain cells in my 20's.

 

[Eelogical]

I was there.

I wasn't there, but I had it on the radio with Frank Hyde calling the game.

Lol. So true. I was there, and my only memories of the game are the team walking off the field (I stood on the asphalt in front of the old grandstand) and the fact it was an incredibly dark, misty, cold afternoon with constant light rain. It was very Northern England like.
