Don't blame them, that sounds like a developer land grab and they know there will be loud community opposition if both parcels of land are privately owned.
May as well just fix up the existing one, hey?
So how do the sales of the two compare?
Versus
They can be if they're managed effectively, IMO. That requires governmental cooperation though.
To 'fix' the existing one you'd need to make significant structural changes, particularly at the north and south ends of the ground. I imagine that's the cost basis for a knock-down rebuild given those kinds of changes themselves wouldn't come cheap.
The new foreign built and rebadged jobbie is not exactly setting sales charts alight (to say the least). Hardly surprising, its uglier than a room full of Gavin Millers. The VN was unassailable No 1 for the entirety of its build.
They've got themselves a serious problem then, haven't they, in that a $700m stadium in Moore Park can't possibly pay for itself, and those businesses most likely to benefit don't want to chip in, and nor it seems, do its likely users. And finally, the majority of taxpayers don't want to pay $100 a head to benefit the top end of town and are waiting patiently with baseball bats for the polling booths to open in a few short weeks. No surprise the current govt in its dying days is doing its all to lock the project in.
Well it aint for bums like me. I'll never go there. It's for the well to do corporate types of the eastern suburbs. Who want someone else to pay for it.
Yeah, you have no interest in discussing this like a reasonable person. cya.
so just because you won't go means everyone else who does is some rich corporate type lol
