The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[Desert Qlder]

every ground is in suburb you gonk lol. That doesnt make it a suburban ground.
Centralised, multi-tenanted, good public transport infrastructure, modern design, decent capacity. Those are the definitions of non-suburban grounds. Commbank is in a suburb but its not a suburban ground.

and yes Perth has lots of suburban grounds. But HBF Park isnt one of them.

It barely scrapes 20k. Suburban.

Redfern Oval is owned by the City of Sydney Council. Based on that council's current membership, having it revert to be a ground for professional sport is a 0% chance of occurring, and that political makeup is unlikely to change much anytime soon.

The council made it open to public use, which I believe is one of the reasons, but not the only reason, Souths no longer use it as a training base. Again complete pie in the sky, unrealistic thinking by Joel.

South’s no longer use it because they got a new 26 million coe built at heffron park

I didnt say it was every criteria, majority though? Yeh it ticks more boxes than not even in its half finished state. And if it gets its supposed upgrade it wont be a shade over 20k, it'll be mid to high 20k's.

Actual suburban grounds tick none or hardly any of these boxes, and these venues only exist in the top flight in Sydney (and one part time outlier in Brisbane) largely because the game there remains stuck in a romanticised suburban 1980's mindset :

Geographically centralised
multi-tenanted
good public transport infrastructure
modern design
decent capacity.

its half finished state

That's exactly how it looks. Shame job for a supposed major city.

its a bad look admitting new teams with grounds like that

Jeeze even png could manage to do a better stadium

Meanwhile this is happening in the Olympics

Brisbane will save the ioc

People whining about clubs wanting to play out of suburban grounds have zero idea about league fans.

And rugby league is a made for tv sport. Always will be. Doesn't matter how big the crowd is as long as the ground is full. Looks so much better on TV.

These empty soulless stadiums look horrible on TV. The toilet bowl being the worst of the worst.

eh? the games biggest crowds are not happening at suburban grounds. Seems more RL fans prefer main stadiums over suburban tips.

No ones suggesting use of suburban stadiums should be replaced by an 80k stadium lol

 

[Steel Saints]

He's not alone:

V’Landys told Sydney radio station 2GB that fans “want to be able to walk to their facility, they want to be tribal and we're not going to give up until we've got all teams playing out of suburban grounds in Sydney.”

Tbf, the NRL wanted to upgrade four suburban grounds. Are they still lobbying?

In its current configuration it isn't much better. 20k with a shed or something at one end. WA need to upgrade it for the incoming team.

The "shed" is only as old as the Eastern and Southern Stands. It was build in 2011 to the wishes of the Glory fan base who wanted to replicate what they'd lost when Perth Oval was converted into a rectangle. It a cheap structure that can easier be dismantled a re-erected at a community facility that wants it.

They already have got it before

that’s how the new western stand got built

 

[Diesel]

Sharks shouldn’t get any cash. Kogroah has had many upgrades and still looks like lipstick on a pig. What’s the go with a Liverpool stadium and an upgrade to Campbelltown

I wouldn't say that, Dolphins upgrade was fully paid by Govt money. Private businesses get Govt grants all the time

The fact that you are aware of the exceptions only shows that you understand the rule...

99% of history is individual ethnic and/or religious groups competing for resources and/or power. Most societies throughout history were lead by minoritarian interests and the intelligentsia of said society at the time, and suggesting otherwise is just pure ideological talk.

Trying to force historical societies to conform to modern philosophical and political outlooks is stupid on face value. The concept of the left/right, progressive/conservative, political dichotomy wasn't even created until the French Revolution and modern post-war conceptualisations of conservatism wouldn't be recognisable to them. It'd be completely unintelligible in basically all other historical contexts.

Viewing history through an oppressor/oppressed lens is particularly dangerous. It's a simplistic and dysfunctional way of viewing modern societies, let alone historical ones.

Saw a Glory game at the ground about 13 years ago. It felt like a stadium plonked in the middle of a residential street.
