The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[taipan]

Which of those two grounds has a better home NRL crowd average in 2018?

Um !! thinking really ,really hard,It'll dawn on me sooner or later.They're both positioned in the west of something.
One had a team that played in the semis last weekend, the other hasn't got an illustrious leader by the name of Gus Gould.
Will that do?

I can’t see Penrith moving stadiums any time soon. The gameday revenue to the leagues club, plus the location. It ticks all the boxes. I’d like to see one of the hills modernized a bit. Probably the southern end would be my choice. Wrap some seating around from the E or W stands.

Penrith Stadium needs a massive upgrade to bring it into the 21st Century. I am just not sure the government will be willing to spend that much on a stadium used by one team.

The corporate boxes on the eastern side are tiny and outdated. There is barely any protection from the sun or rain in the stadium either.

The current NSW Government won't as they don't own it. It is owned by the local council. The current Government have been clear they won't spend any of its money on stadiums it does not own.

That’s easily fixed.

In fact that’d be the easiest part of getting a stadium upgrade, the biggest obstacle is only having one tenant. Possibly why the panthers talked about trying to buy the WSW.

The WSW is on crown land. To be able to sell to anyone, the NSW Government would have to get enabling legislation passed by the NSW Parliament. I somehow doubt that would be possible.

WSW = Western Sydney Wanderers

Not WSS.

Wonder who naming rights sponsor will be ?

Allianz has now become a generic word for sfs.. obviously pretty valuable

Oh. Sorry, my mistake

KFC stadium

TBH I'd be happy with that as long as they had outlets inside the stadium.
KFC...…..mmmmmmmmm!!

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

That's the kind of single-club short sighted thinking that can end up with us holding 5 jokers at the end of the day. We could be the Manly of the west, continually begging for $400m for a stadium to service 10 games a year at 55% capacity. Or we could be part of a combined push for a modern facility shared with the Tigers and an A-League club that is Central for all parties and all of the West. Which option would appear more palatable to a state government when facing a FitzSimons style pitchfork backlash?

They expect half a million people to live in Campbelltown-Camden. From there it's either 25 minutes to Badgery's creek or closer to an hour to Penrith.

I think you misunderstood my point...

If this stadium was built it would be great, but that is a hypothetical whereas the trainline is vertually guarentees.

If the stadium isnt built, Panthers can still benefit from the new transport link.

My point is that, regardless of whether the new stadium is built or they stay at Penrith, Panthers will only benefit from this airport infrustructure if the start fan engagement in the SW Sydney now.

The new stadium and new trainline wont matter if the fans in the SW dont care about them

Could every rugby league supporter please lobby their state member to delay the SFS knockdown.
That Ayers and co can literally funnel almost $1b of our money into their friend's pockets, while an architectural firm is offering the outcome that so many of us has asked for, is beyond criminal.

At an individual NRL game, big fail mate.

Couldn’t sell out a double header in the first match of premiership football ever at the new stadium.

Scrap Perth. #hobart17

Can’t imagine a lot of WSW fans traveling out to Penrith.

Maybe not, but I suspect that’s why Penrith tried to buy the club. Stadium upgrade & game day club revenue.

The wanderers should really rename themselves parramatta though, they seem unwilling to represent the wider west.

They do take some games to Campbelltown though.

Haven’t taken an Aleague game there since 2013 I think.

There’s been an FFA Cup & an AFC champions league game there since then.

They missed a huge opportunity to grow their base with parramatta out of action, instead they moved their games further away from most of the West.
