The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[AlwaysGreen]

This f**king AFL loving moron living in Perth has got no idea.

You can't just lay rail tracks directly where you want to go you dopey git.

You missed out ‘a backward city with sht infrastructure’ lol.
I’ve lived in London and spent time in many of the worlds major cities and never been anywhere that takes 90min to go 20km lol.

You haven’t been to LA or Beijing? There are cities with worst networks than Sydney - although I agree it is pretty bad in Sydney

Beijing does have 21mill people in it, I’d expect it to be a bit congested lol

90 minutes. 16km. London.

Did some thinking about this. I lived in Hong Kong for years, and my wife had a pretty gnarly commute



It was worse before Whampoa got a train station. Now I hardly doubt anyone would call Hong Kong a backwards city with infrastructure..

I lived in London for years, I think that northern monkey has a romanticised idea of what a London commute was like because he once visited for a weekend.

I think travel times in London Beijing and Hong kong is new stuff. Riveting

Penrith to commbank 37km
balmain to allianz 9km
manly to allianz 17km
kogorah to allianz 15km
Belmore to commbank 20km
cronulla to allianz 27km

I’ve got no problem with penrith getting a new stadium, they are a club on the up, the region is growing and the distance to nearest stadium is fair treck, especially for fans west of penrith. The rest, no reason they can’t be using commbank, Accor or allianz.

Allianz

except manly and sharks

An hour and a half from the Shire?

If you live in Sutherland, that’s 20mins off your trip, I guess.

It takes 50- 55min on train to go 20km In Sydney. Are you still using horse drawn carriages?

Thing is in a city of 5million people, there’s bound to be a fair few stops along the way

Perth has about 6 train stations total.
There is 20 odd stops between cronulla and central.
most trains stop at at least 15 of these for a minute or 2. Simple maths for our English friend

 

[Desert Qlder]

Trains weren’t even running in Perth during my visit in February.

driving in London is a nightmare but the underground/overground train system puts any city in Australia to shame

 

[Steel Saints]

It takes 90min to go 17km? Haha Your city is so sht.

And yet, at the recent Women's World Cup, 603,957 people turned up in Sydney, which was close to a third of the tournaments crowds overall.

Sydney may not have the best public transport, and it doesn't claim to be a sporting capital. But it somehow manages itself, just like it did similarly with the 2000 Olympics, and hosted the final in the 2003 Rugby World Cup and 2015 Asian Cup.

NSW delivers a record-breaking FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023

Sydney hosted 603,957 footballing fans at the 11 FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 games played in NSW over the past month – a third of the 1.9 million fans who attended matches during the biggest tournament of its kind to date.

As I said, you're not going to get a train direct from every point in Sydney to another. This is not Legoland.

Changing stations three times in London to get to different bits

That’s the end of the argument for centralised stadia in Sydney
