ANZ was always multi purpose you mong. It wasnt built for Us. It was built for the Olympics.
When they were looking at changing it to be a full rectangular field, when it wasnt owned by the government. The AFL and Cricket threw money at it so it wouldnt.
Now that the government owns it again. Instead of just fixing the stadium to be rectangular, the SCG trust got involved to make sure that the SFS gets rebuilt first, the stadium that doesnt need to be rebuilt AT ALL and at most, put a roof on it which
1. inflates the price of the whole situation.
2. pushes back when building starts
3. makes it so that for a year we have to deal with SCG Origin and grand finals and maybe 2 if the timeline gets f**ked.
The reason why the backlash is so hard and swift, and dont fool yourself into thinking its not because you are stuck in an Anti AFL Anti Labor mindset that even the liberals dont want this because they know it will cost them votes all because the SCG trust merkin had to get his dirty hands involved and bring risk into ANZ getting rebuilt like it needs to.
Labor isnt to blame, ABC and the Bandana f**khead isnt to blame either, its the SCG trust and liberal politics thats put this plan in doubt.
