What’s the big deal now anyway, the SFS has light rail that connects directly to Central, the public transport issue is pretty much sorted.

It has made a massive difference.

Nice to see people around the city before a game at the SFS. Gives it a bit of a buzz.

like LO it’s not fit for a top tier comp. Luton know they have zero chance of epl survival in that stadium, hence why they have plans to move into a fit for purpose 21st century stadium.

SL doesn’t have a min stadium criteria and epl‘s is a very low bar.

But clubs arent surviving let alone thriving in epl with a stadium like lutons. Hence why they have plans to move to a modern 23k all seater.

despite a low criteria all but 1 epl club last year played in 21.5k-75k capacity, all the epl stadiums are all seater full stand covered stadiums.

so yes we have some catching up to do lol, and having a min standard would help encourage the last few sydney clubs to stop living in the 70’s and thinking playing in sht house grounds is ok, as well as encourage any new cities wanting to join to build suitable venues.

Did you miss my post where they’ve said they know they can’t survive there and are planning to move to a new stadium in 2026?
That’s where they are playing in the premier league next year

it’s a lower standard than nrl grounds and they were allowed in as is

yes the nrl should improve stadia where it can but the vitriol at some suburban grounds isn’t warranted

as much as I don’t like watching sharks games it’s their home and they like it

not every club has to be massive it’s their choice

And they know it’s sht and won’t be there much longer if all goes to plan. Meanwhile tigers think it’s a good idea to move more games to LO and Campbelltown forevermore, manly and sharks have no plans and refuse to go anywhere, dragons still happy using kogorah lol.

it’s impactful for the game, if it was just leading to poor outcomes for those clubs on their heads be it. But it looks sht on tv, drags down the games crowd avg and creates a poor perception for the comp. as a whole. Any new comer tuning into a game at one of these venues would think nrl is a semi pro sport.

Not with the current funding model those small clubs can make profits out of those grounds

then you’ve got parra easts south’s and Penrith (soon to be) playing out of new grounds

In your opinion. Many would say a full hill looks way better than a full grandstand, and creates a much better atmosphere. Either way hills are gonna be around for a LONG time in the NRL.

Any new comer to the game would not even notice the crowd or stadium - they would be more interested in what's actually happening on the field. Like most other footy fans.

Stop talking out of your ass and stating it's fact.
