The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[The Marshall]

Does anyone seriously believe that Parra won’t be playing at the new stadium next year?

"Draw in disarray" lol, it just means Parra's games will say TBC until they sign:

But But But, it's breaking news?

May not add much new info, but the NRL's website has an article about the Eels situation also - https://www.nrl.com/news/2018/10/16...western-sydney-stadium-over-contract-dispute/

I wouldn't worry about it, it's all just negotiating tactics. Judging by the Eels release they expect to play there.

I'd assume that as well, there was a similar to and throw over here before Optus Stadium opened.

I'd assume the statement from Parra is designed to put a bit of pressure on whoever is negotiating?

Thank christ NQ paid 10 years rent straight up ($10mil with the NRL covering the interest on the bank loan) that went into the construction costs of the new NQ stadium. I feel that if we didn’t do that, the QLD gov would have bent us over deluxe with rent on a year by year basis. Hope parra can sort it quickly.

 

[Quicksilver]

lulz.

This is why new stadiums should be an 80-100 year investment. Not a 30 or 40.

Feel bad for Parra. They already had a totally adequate stadium.

Fkn Parra, literally get gifted a brand new stadium, and now want to play hard ball with the tenancy.

Other clubs have to fight tooth and nail for a coat of paint on a pigs arse, and people wonder why crowds are sht.

A 100 year stadium?

Are you serious?

Bit like being gifted a new mansion - but now you have to pay $2000 per week rent. Parra sound like they are trying to avoid the crappy deal that the Titans got at Robina.

A 100 year stadium?

Are you serious?

Yes, with regular maintenance and some upgrades where necessary. Look at some of the components of the SCG.

Concrete should last that long.

The economics for a stadium are generally really bad. At the end of the day someone has to pay. And it looks like the dad taking his kids to the game is going to be left holding the bag for this one.

Exactly.

I applaud Parramatta's stance.
Apparently they were bent over and f**ked hard when they had to sign a deal with ANZ when it was announced that they would be evicted from Parra during the re-build. Were paying far more than the Souths and Bulldogs deals.
The Wanderers have also refused the terms so it's not just the Eels kicking up a stink.

Compare this to the eastern teams - the Waratahs, Sydney FC and the Roosters. They have been offered compensation for having to move due to the re-build of Allianz.
The Eels and Wanderers never got a cent.

I just cant believe the West Sydney clubs arent bargaining collectively on this...

No wonder NRL clubs keep getting these shit deals

Agreed.
The NRL, the Eels, Tigers, Panthers and maybe even the Dog's (for the odd game) should be going hand in hand to Venue's NSW and fighting the same cause together, in return for content for the stadium.

Probably should have been discussed before the government decided to demolish a perfectly good stadium.

if the WSW do the same then they'll have to do something or risk having a new stadium with no tennants

It wasn't a perfectly good stadium. It was rubbish, although better than most NRL grounds

All seated, barely ever filled to capacity (especially for Rugby League).

Yes, rubbish.

Yes, rubbish.

In this day and age, the toilets, dressing rooms, and catering and corporate facilities were nothing short of appalling.
