You don't think your sub 14k crowd avg's has got anything to do with your sht stadium? Are you telling us this is as good as it gets for Cronulla and we can look forward to another four decades of mediocre attendances at shark park as the very best the club can bring to the table? You really don't have much faith in your club do you?

I am pretty sure if the team was better at the game of footy more people would attend games.

I have never heard anyone say to me .
"I'm not going to shark park because it's not a stadium ".
Let alone 10,000 people saying it.

PR has been absolutely spot on with his appraisal here.
Seriously, Sydney fans hate large stadiums. Sydney fans hate suburban shit holes.
The perfect solution is 4-ish medium sized all-seaters.

*Brookvale I'm undecided about - the place would only get fully utilised 12 times a year by one tenant so it's hardly worth spending any money there, but if we had to, $100 million would get a simple 18000 all seater. Flat pack style cheap as chips.

* One 20-23000 seater for the south for Sharks and Drags to share. Maybe even future A-League team. $200 million.

* One for the west - 30-35000 at redeveloped Parra Stadium. $350-400 million. Parra/Tigers/Bulldogs/Wanderers. Transport is good and game day facilities (pubs/restaurants) excellent.

* $100 million to tart up the SFS. Roosters/Rabbitohs/ESFC/Waratahs.

* $50 million to put cheap seats and cheap roof at each end of Penrith Stadium. Capacity - 22000

Under a billion dollars. All stadiums all seaters. Mostly roof covered. No f**king hills.
Teams can take a game a season to their preferred shit hole if they like.

Then, we just need to find another $500 million to fix up ANZ to piss the round ground sports off.

I like this ... .Sydney is just not an easy town to pin down... its sprawling like LA, Paris where a one size solution wont work,,

it would be great if it was like Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, - Just build one allmighty staium in the middle of the city next to the trainline and you done...

for a billion $ you should get a roof on SFS, rectangular ANZ, upgraded parramatta...

then just do small works for Manly and Penrith and we are done..

We also have to avoid gold plating all of them, i seem to remember Gosford stadium cost around $44 M dollars, and its a almost perfect RL stadium

It boggles the mind when you hear upgrades of parramatta may cost $200M +

It would help but chances of sharks being a consistent top four team are nil to zero. So what else you going to do to grow your fanbase? Your kidding yourself if you think a modern stadium isn't going to help you or manly or Penrith grow your paying fanbase. It's not the only variable but certainly is a significant one. Your 14k crowd drops to sub 10k when it rains, there's a reason for that. Look at the great atmosphere at belmore, nothing to do with a grass hill, everything to do with a packed out venue, you put that crowd in a 20k roofed stadium and the noise and atmosphere would have been even more incredible. That's how you get people off their backsides and away from their tv's.

If they were located in the right places, next to a freakin train station(no more then 2-300m away) I dare say even I would leave my tele behind and go out to the footy. Hell, even my girl would want to come, especially if the seats were blue and gold.

Just thinking about the stadiums I think it would be awesome if they could get money to upgrade brooky/leichard/belmore etc into stadiums like the above. Much better then building or upgrading another huge stadium or two that we can regularly quatre fill. But they have to get the money and consider public transport/parking and all that shit, so I don't know how that all works out. But on the face it a few little English soccer style stadiums would be amazing.

Really, you still want to be this slow publicly? You obviously are playing games here, or else you have real problems. If so I apologise sincerely and suggest maybe a better option for you could be a game like tick tack toe my friend.


But if you are merely being a dick.

Work it out for yourself genius.
