Beatie has a plan

[butchmcdick]

Yeah, they're close to the station.
Close enough to walk anyway. You can always get a bus if you want to waste some money.
Also the Parra light rail will take you from the station to the stadium.

Bus be f**ked !!!!

Uber all the way

In all seriousness it’s f**k all distance

 

[M2D2]

Actually Gosford is 1km. If we are arguing over 200m either way.

Actually from the entrance of gosford station on burns cres to dane drive entrance is 650 meters.
So no. No we are not.

It's 7 minutes walk from the police station.

Seeing that Beattie didn't specify which station he's right, it is close.

HAHA well played.

 

[thorson1987]

For years I had heard about how much the walk from Central to the SFS sucked.

Did it last year to go to a concert and was surprised how easy it was. Yeah there is a 100m section that's pretty steep but other than that it's fine, so did it again the next day for the College Football game except this time with plenty of beers in me.

Took my 8 year old son to the 2 world cup games there and he had no issues either with the walk.

If you are able bodied and whinge about that you're simply a lazy merkin.

Sydney clubs, because they know eventually some clubs will have to be cut. And we know where they will come from.

Did the Sydney clubs kill off the Crushers?

Gosford stadium is right near the station.

Yes another long overdue must do for the NRL. Easy access with the Bears ready to go. But too hard for the current set up! In fact if you closely look at the stadium seats you will see BEARS wording throughout the seating.

"I think the Government has got it right. Parramatta stadium is going to be a real hit. Near the station, the shops, the restaurants and bars … what a great day out that will be."

LOL WUT
Its nowhere near the f**kin station

It's quite close to the Police Station.

 

[M2D2]

It's quite close to the Police Station.

Sorry, someone already did that joke. haha

 

[Cockadoodledoo]

No wonder our country has turned to hyperbolic morons when they cant understand that over 1km of walking with no protection from traffic is not close to the station.

WTF? There are footpaths, traffic lights? People aren't playing Frogger for the 1.2km journey.

*points to Suncorp & ANZ*
Both Close. Both have dedicated walkways.

Not to mention most of the walk to Parra is through pedestrian malls and parks

 

[thorson1987]

And now to get to ANZ from my house I need to get 3 trains as trains no longer run from Campbelltown to the city via Granville.

We don't get special event buses out here either so give me SFS any day.

 

[RL The greatest game]

Beattie is keen on expansion which is great. It’ll be interesting to see which clubs try to stop it

Some clubs have a huge fear of expansion. Tough if they don't like it.

Those clubs should be ashamed of themselves! Any idea who they are?

Possibly a short term loss of TV and sponsorship money is all i can of.
The TV money will come back and more in a new TV deal, but some clubs live a hand to mouth existence.
No doubt some clubs will come up with a pathetic excuse as to why the NRL shouldn't expand.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

The NRL should put expansion on the table at the same time, the NRL should take club handouts off the table.

The first club to squeal can die, right there and then.

Let's make it interesting. Televise it all too. Who Wants To Be A Dead NRL Club?

NOTE: would suck if my club but hey...

 

[Captain Apollo]

Not to mention most of the walk to Parra is through pedestrian malls and parks

Not really. The stretch of Church Street, which used to form part of the Parramatta Mall (from George Street to Macquarie Street) was re-opened to traffic a few years back. You are correct in that the streets are perfectly safe anyway, but just had to correct that small matter.

Bus be f**ked !!!!

In all seriousness it’s f**k all distance

You probably couldn't even punch two cones in that distance..................

 

[gUt]

Able bodied people who use a 1km walk as an excuse not to attend should get in the bin tbh
Shittest excuse of all time. Goes for the SFS too.

How do we have a society where people actually think 1km is nowhere f**kin near

Most people are perfectly fine with walking 1km, just not through crime and strife-ridden hell holes like Sydney in general or Parramatta in particular. It's just too dangerous and ugly.

Much safer walking past the caxton?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Surely Jarrod Hayne will pick you up in his tarago from the station and drop you off in front of the ground.
