pity they didn't make Optus oval move in and out for NRL games like AFL did to Telstra.

Popularity?
Just relegate PR and carch to the fight club and I think you've got a pretty well rounded mix of opinions and people with pragmatic ideas about the infrastructure required by a major national sport.

Otherwise. A more broadly defined sub forum for stadia, crowds, memberships, etc, could be a decent shout.

The idea has merit, but my concern is that once you shuffle it off to a sub forum it dies. For example the media and expansion subs are virtually visited by two or three people tops.

It has 5000 “drop in”seats for rectangular sports events

Please stay on topic

I hate that
It really irks me

how high do they drop them from?

Gee I hate the way they announce sponsored stadiums

Prefer something like

Optus Perth Stadium

Not just Optus Stadium - it means nothing. A local tennis ground pops up in the GPS or Optus HQ in North Ryde

Shit idea...

The topic only has enough content for one thread and thats only because there is so much going on right now.

Its not like the Expansion threads that were filling up the NRL forum with bullshit. You dont need to clear the NRL forum up. Put this is a separate forum and all you will do is stifle the discussion...

Sub forum may be a bit much for reasons already mentioned. Best case scenario would probably be to separate the main talking points to their own thread i.e. Parra, ANZ, Allianz, Townsville etc. Then have a general thread for the rest. Some would get more traffic than others but who cares?

Unless you have plenty of time to check frequently some news & discussions get buried pretty quickly.

Optus stadium had its first public viewing yesterday. Very positive feedback from the public. Great to see the little lad in the West Coast Pirates gear involved in opening the gates!

Strange about the kid in Pirates gear, a team that doesn't exist (yet) in the top grade and will probably play at the new stadium very rarely if ever. Encouraging though I guess.

I guess they were referencing RLs commitment to playing Origin there, but it was awkward using a jersey representing another state...

Roos jersey would have been my suggestion, but the Pirates jumper served well. And it shows the government is committed to supporting a team if one was to come over.

Edit: Its just as relevant as that Force jersey

Poor kids in for a world of disappointment.

Well with up to 49 years of living through it yourself depending on your age, as a Sharks fan you'll be able to talk him through it mate .

I could talk him through watching his team lose for 49 years
Not sure how to help a kid without a team to watch though.

I used to think not having a team might just be easier until 2015. Would have been worth a 100 year wait.

Like I said earlier the Olympic stadium was built for the Olympics.
I’ve seen
The Olympics
The sharks win the comp
And the Rolling Stones there

The old SFS gets used for many different things
I’ve seen U2 there

I know the Catholics had world youth day in one of them

ANZ. I was there. Everyone boo'd John Howard. Good times.

doesn't take much to get you excited
