The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[Cumberland Throw]

If we could be confident of seeing 30k plus at Allianz every week .. I would be all over it ..

Can't see how this actually happens tho

well you would never go

Yep same here, I would have preferred ANZ to get done before Allianz but thanks to Gladys it’s not happening, I just hope the rebuild is worth it and it is state of the art once finished

I hope the new Allianz keeps the club mode that was originally talked about, will improve atmosphere at NRL games. 45k is way too big for any team in Sydney really.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

I can go.. problem is we need 15 thousand more people to go..

What clubs are gonna drive this stadium

Easts cant pull crowd..

South's don't want to play there..

Dragons .. don't want to play there

Tigers fans will rarely travel in

Manly won't cross bridge

Dogs don't want to play there

Eels have new stadium

Better check with your boss Shepherd of GWS.He'll give you the lie of the land, as to why the SFS is to be knocked down first and hopefully ANZ ends up staying as is.
And ask Gil (CEO)why after 36 years in Sydney ,AFL TV ratings remain ordinary ,with all the money spent.
I'm sure you'll fill us in on the reasoning ,correction oops spin.

Nice shot of the stadium with the city behind.
Can see the new towers rising in Parramatta Square and beside the river opposite the new Meriton Towers.

I still hold the faint (vain?) hope that the demolition goes ahead, thus committing the state to a new stadium, but that a newly elected government will intervene to re-scope the design to a Parra like 30k-32k - obstensibly to dramatically cut the cost but also pretty much to the benefit of everyone concerned except the SCG Trust.

Last I heard they’re hoping to knock it down in October.

So say 2-3 months for the knock down

They’d then be 2-3 months into the build by the time of the election.

@Suitman might be able to weigh in here on his easily you could pivot such a major project?

I presume one advantage is you could basically use the plans for the western Sydney stadium, but it seems a serious long shot.

Demolition contract wont even be signed until mid December as the planning approval for the demolition will not be given until mid to late November.

That is pretty much the timeline as it stands atm. The current govt is determined to push this through before the next election to keep the powerbrokers at the SCG Trust onside. (I'm looking at you Alan Jones).

Absolutely no chance of this happening.
Designs and tenders would be happening as we speak. Contracts will be signed as soon as possible and then a successful tenderer is chosen. There would be compensation payouts required if such contracts were broken. The Labor Party wouldn't do that. Instead, they would just blame the previous govt and get political mileage out of it, and proceed with the project anyway. They too, would also be keeping the powerbrokers at the Trust happy for fear of the political backlash.

FWIW the Victorian labor govt cancelled a road contract and paid out $1 billion. It’s unlikely but if they campaigned heavily on it who knows?
