It’s hard to tell if that’s a photo of the stadium after an a-league game or a photo of the demolition.

The ground looks unsafe to me, should build a new one.

 

[Timmah]

Yes, but It’s ok because the afl are pitching in $5m...

I was hoping for an actual source here but I guess I'll have to take your word for it.

It's interesting this is being amped up by the Tele as dramatic and something that could embarrass the (potentially) outgoing LNP government - looks like all they're doing so far is uninstalling seats and a bit of fencing? The screens went ages ago to create the new one at the SCG.

Hardly irreversible stuff

Doesn’t it all start ramping up after the test match against India is over?

Well if worst comes to worst, and the labor idiots don’t build a new Sfs. It would be a great reason for the chooks to relocate to Adelaide or the central coast.

Yep, Tuesday or Wednesday. By March (election time), they expect 25% of the roof to be gone.

Im so interested to see what Labor would do with the half demolished stadiums...

Do the leave it and let it rot? Do the pay to have it put back together? Or do they just bight the bullet and negotiate a stadium upgrade of their own.

My hope (wishful thinking) is that they will take the opportunity to tell the Trust to f*ck off. The Central idea would be great, but really anything would be better than Moore Park...

This is what we the fans should somehow make enough noise to make it happen.

Deliver a great stadium to the people where the people want it and will use and benefit from the most. Not the suits power play that hardly ever is the best outcome for the people that matter. The punters.

I am not a social media type of guy, but for the people that are. Maybe someone that knows about this stuff, sets up an online petition that anyone with say Facebook or the like can put a banner on their page with a link that allows visitors to go to the petition and sign it in favour of the Central Station Stadium.

Now is the time to move on something like this, before Labour gets in and starts to work on their solution to all this mess. Just a thought, any others?

Why the f#@k does the AFL own a ground in Cairns and the NRL don't own one at all? We need to start looking at this kind of thing. The AFL own a number of grounds. The only close equivelant in RL is the Sharks and Redcliffe Dolphins but they are owned by those clubs, not the NRL.

Because the NRL has always been useless and the AFL has always been competent and business savvy.

Easy, next.

then maybe you should read the article posted? there's even a handy link in it to a story about the funding going to the Swans.

Looks like it's a $65mil redev but the government is only kicking in $20mil - less than a third of the funding for it.

There's always more to the story.

No wonder the Stadium needs demolishing. Those seats look very uncomfortable.

What are they doing with the seats? Give them to Brookvale so they can throw out the wooden benches

My understanding is that country venues will be receiving them

Feels strange seeing the football stadium being stripped bare

Thats what happens when a sporting culture decides that professionals are “out of touch elites” and compits to treating brain-damaged thugs like business gods...

Not that i have anything against brain-damages thigs. Just that we shouldnt be surprised when they struggle to string a sentence together and dont know even basic business practices.

“But the game needs to be run by REAL Rugbu league people”. Yeh, look where 100 years of that has got us...

A lot of them have already gone to country venues. A mate of mine collected five of them for his pool house up on the Central Coast the other week.

it’s the same with commentary. Just ‘cause you can play the game, doesn’t mean you can commentate on it at a proficient level. Matt Nable is an example. I know he is somewhat intelligent but jesus christ his commentary is Z grade shit.

same applies to RL admin like you say.

 

[King hit]

Sterling would be the exception to the rule. Great player and commentator, probably the most intelligent commentator I’ve heard.
