Hey mate. Please let me know what time this photo was taken? Just to get an idea of shadow line for a 2 or 4pm kickoff.

I'm guessing about 1-2 pm given it was taken recently.
As others have suggested, it's a mute point given the season doesn't start till mid March. In mid winter, the question would be irrelevant.
This question would be more relevant for Wanderers fans, and they don't even have 2-4 pm kick offs..

If you where going to abanadon anz rebuild for another 30k stadium surely one somewhere geographically suitable for bulldogs and tigers to share would be the go? Souths and eels could then use bankwest and anz could host the few big event games it’s actually suitable for
Having a 30k stadium at Homebush would give clubs options. If souths dogs and the tigers committed all games there, they could pick which stadium to use depending on ticket sales. Confirming which stadium could be done a week before the event and wouldn't effect anyone.

There's a 22k stadium next door to ANZ, and they're just about to finish Bankwest, which is what, less than 10km away in Parramatta?

Redundant IMO

Probably. But you couldn't shift a match that is scheduled at Homebush to Parra that easily and you'd have to schedule around AFL for the showground. Not to mention it's crap for league.
Three clubs in the one competition could juggle around two venues next to each other though.

Parramatta’s partnership with Wenty will end after the 2019 season. From 2020 onwards the Eels will have their own team in the NSW Cup.
Aware of that, but is it a complete end to the partnership between the two clubs? Wenty would still be part of the Parra district surely

You seem obsessed by having smaller stadia, it's odd.

Why would they build a new "Parra style stadium" a stone's throw from the new Parra Stadium?

ANZ will need some work at some point soon - it's already 20 years old - and now that no oval sports use it, it's ripe for rectangular redevelopment. The technology in design that's already proposed for the SFS can actually help mask the atmosphere issues that bigger venues have - no reason that couldn't be implemented at ANZ if it's budget conscious.

It’s not odd, smaller boutique modern stadiums will grow crowds more than big stadiums.

Atmosphere is a key to getting people to come back, 20k people in a 75k stadium will never be great.

with that said a small boutique stadium at Olympic Park seems very unlikely.
