A standalone Perth team created by Western Australians is more likely to succeed.Welcome Perth Jets to the NRL then

I once saw a dumbarse soccer fan whinging about the northern and southern stands at Lang Park not being built to the specifications of a soccer pitch. These wankers expect everything to be based around their game, despite being a niche sport in this country.Sort of sums up the mentality of soccer. Instead of working with us to get a great outcome for rectangular sports around the country for A League and the national teams, they whinge and want their own venues built.
Yep, they need to come to terms with the fact that the NRL is going to be the driver of quality rectangular venues in any city in Australia moving forward because NRL has the clout and can pay the bills at these venues.I once saw a dumbarse soccer fan whinging about the northern and southern stands at Lang Park not being built to the specifications of a soccer pitch.

Most soccer fans on the internet are dumb bratty kids with an entitlement complex.Yep, they need to come to terms with the fact that the NRL is going to be the driver of quality rectangular venues in any city in Australia moving forward because NRL has the clout and can pay the bills at these venues.
Take Adelaide for example, it will only ever get a quality 25 / 30k modern rectangular venue if / when they have an NRL team. Soccer just doesn't have the muscle.
Now if they just accept that fact and work with us, they could benefit AFL / cricket style.
Ballymore is good enough for super rugby and a league crowds
If they have money to throw on smaller stadiums then kayo park at 20k all seater is the one that should get it
Brisbane roar used to play games there too.
Building a small rectangular stadium for sports with declining crowds is a waste of moneyWith the money they’re likely going to pump in to Suncorp they won’t want to lose more Suncorp games from the Dolphins who are the 2nd highest drawing tenant.
Brisbane could do with a 20-25k rectangular stadium though, mainly for Reds & Roar but RL could get some use out of it as well. I doubt it will be Redcliffe though, somewhere more central when/if it happens.

even 20k is too big for the roar or reds and pretty much useless for the broncos of dolphins
reds and roar used to be happy with Suncorp when their crowds were decent
So maybe not a cap on total events just large events. They’ll go close to that this year you’d think.Currently, Suncorp Stadium can host 24 “major sport events” a year, defined as those which drew a crowd of 35,000 or above.
Pvl needs to get on the front foot and ensure most of the stadium money goes towards SuncorpUnlikely to happen until after the Olympics now I’d say anyway. With all the money being thrown around I doubt they’ll find another $300-400m for it.
Main benefit would be freeing up Suncorp for more big events, I believe there is or used to be a cap on how many events Suncorp can host in a year.
depends on how the Dolphins go in lessor drawing games. 17k in a 65k stadium is going to be shthouse for them and 10k is way too small. In an ideal world Redcliffe would be upgraded to 20-25k and Brisbane 3 would have a 20-25kk at Ipswich with lower drawing games at those stadiums and the big games at Suncorp.Building a small rectangular stadium for sports with declining crowds is a waste of money

Does he care about stadia outside of Sydney?Pvl needs to get on the front foot and ensure most of the stadium money goes towards Suncorp
it’s a big issue for rugby league I hope he’s not asleep at the wheel
Not a very good stadium.
stadium render has a very budget look to it (in the article not the photo above)
One hill has provision for a concert stage. Dunno what’s under itWait, so the new Penrith Stadium will still only be two stands and hills/grass on the ends?
Really?

If it’s the southern end there’s a large sewer main running under it.One hill has provision for a concert stage. Dunno what’s under it
Think it’s the northern one but yehIf it’s the southern end there’s a large sewer main running under it.
