And a railing around it for men to lean upon while waiting an eternity for their bishes to get their wizz done.

Seriously, a billion dollars and this place is the pits. You want to check out a decent Allianz Stadium, go to Munich or Turin. Those joints are f**king awesome.

Notice how both venues are the same the whole way around? Like WSS? Instead, SCG Trust went with the old SFS, Accor stadium design, probably to honour the old venue. 👎 They even got the same Cox to design the new one!

Yeah I saw that article. It’s a bit of a joke and it’s the type of attitude that prevents us from solving the stadium issue. For instance if the Sharks, Sea Eagles or Saints came to them with the offer of games there are they going to say ‘no, it’s the home ground of the Roosters, that’s all’

Pretty sure Souths are just playing for a cheaper deal at Homebush at this point. 50 home games over five years only means 10 games per year, where are they playing the other two?

I’m not suggesting that Souths aren’t partly to blame. Also I think eventually there will be a compromise and they will split the games between Allianz and Accor

It’s the parochialism and the club self interest that worries me. In that same paper there was also a short story about Parra and how they are trying to get a similar deal at Commbank etc.

So are we going to have clubs selfishly hoarding grounds because we are not going to have all 9 clubs getting their own exclusive Commbank type facilities - it is not feasible.

They are scared that another tenant will be bigger than them, especially after their premiership window slams shut on Friday and they go downhill fast!

It's a huge shame that Homebush wasn't rebuilt instead of the SFS. Everyone said in 2016 that the new Parra stadium would be exactly that, a new home ground for Parra and no one else. Six years on, we have the exact same problems, but with two clubs getting state of the art grounds at taxpayer expense while the rest are in limbo.

Loudmouths like Politis need to be seriously schooled by the NRL.

Yes, cause we beat up people at railway stations, smash railway carriages and burn down our stadiums.... oh wait... :rolleyes:

Also in relation to Allianz Stadium tennants, the Wartash and Sydney FC say hi. In relation to Commbank Stadium, WS Wanderers and even the Wests Tigers (iirc) say hi.

Parra is doing a lot of behind the scenes manoeuvring to expel the Tigers and Bulldogs from Commbank. As for Waratahs, only a matter of time before their 5k crowds see them playing all over the place again.
