No it wasn't. Lower tier was done first and then the upper a year later.

Ah, well even then it was done in a way that meant a season could be played in between in 2004, the club didn’t have to move and the ground capacity was barely reduced if at all.

OR the NRL could actually get creative with games. Run of the mill club games at accor are as horrible as games a shtty suburban grounds.
However if a Ch9 Friday night blockbuster game was scheduled at Accor every week featuring all sydney clashes, members of both clubs get in, and members of any other club gets in for 50% normal ticket price, NRL supports with marketing and a bit of cash to participating clubs, kids get in free, make it a must do event in Sydney every Friday night with a beer village outside the stadium with bands etc etc then we could use accor every week but at least try and get something positive out of its use and maximise the fact we have an over proliferation of clubs in one city. Of course would require Ch9 to not shown the Broncos lol

Accor is in Homebush the geographical centre of Sydney. This idea will definitely work.

yeah it's most definitely a solution mate.

Didn’t say the past government didn’t invest, they did. I want this one to keep investing.

This government is drawing from the same pool of money as the last one. It’s all the same money. And $1.6 billion is a hell of an investment in stadiums.

because they said they would dummy
committed 2 Billion to stadiums that the NRL use

then reneged about 800 mill shy of that figure
thats why

doesn't matter it was the previous Govt
honor the deal

What? Of course it matters that it was the previous government - that's why people vote to change government. They disagree with the decisions a government are making and vote to change them so different decisions will be made.

Why should they? why should they build a stadium for every club?
They've built two outstanding stadiums for sydney clubs to use.
Looks like they may hopefully build one for one more (politcally motivcated or not).
Why should they find hundreds of millions more to appease 4 or 5 clubs who cant be arsed to use the stadium available and build their businesses around that? I don't know of any place in the world that would be building 6 or 7 stadiums for predominantly one sport to use. I can see why NSW tax payers are saying no more.

AFL fan in Perth telling people in NSW what they should do and what their tax dollars should be spent on.

Height of arrogance and stupidity. Same as it ever was.

It doesn't matter..
the NRL will see them as the Govt & not much else .... the conditions to retain the GF in Sydney will be the same for both Govts
build the stadiums ( lock it in for an extended time ) or bid for the event like everyone else

At which point the NSW Government will say 'we have spent $1.6 billion on stadiums principally for the use of the NRL - if he's going to hold us to ransom over this then he'll never be happy' and they're f**king well right.

How much money have the Queensland and Victorian governments spent on rectangular stadiums in the last ten years in Melbourne or Brisbane? A damn sight less than the New South Wales government has spent, that's for sure.

Deals are deals
it was agreed that X amount of $ would be spent on stadia in Sydney
800 mill shy wasn't the deal ...
we're not at 1.6 Bill yet , Penrith hasn't been built & may not be built

honor the agreement to secure the GF in Sydney , plain n simple

The balance sheet for Venues NSW will be very interesting for the next couple of years.

How many times do you need to be told - the deal was with the previous government. The government the people voted out because they didn't like the way they were governing.

If government worked the way you seem to think it should we'd never have elections because there would never be changest of policy.

I still want them to invest more. I want more boutique type stadiums accessible to more Sydneysiders. Specifically, and full disclosure, want one south of Sydney that I can watch the sharks play out of. I really dont give a shit how much they’ve already spent or who spent it.

 

[Pneuma]

I don’t think we can have a serious conversation about what the voters in nsw can expect from their elected government without a pom in Perth having the overarching and determinative view.

And how many times do you need to be told , It makes no difference to the NRL who people voted for or what govt is in power or what a Govt's agenda is , PVL is not an elected official & his job is to ensure what is in the best interests of the sport he governs , plain & simple.
govts are govts
The NRL will expect goodwill & the honoring of deals they made with ... The.. govt

Precisely. There's every chance a change of Government can (and often DOES) mean a priority can be changed or completely abandoned.

I know people who've worked in Government departments who worked on projects for months/years, only for all that to be shelved due to a change in their political boss - sometimes it doesn't even need a change in party, as even a new PM from the same party can up-end priorities from their predecessor!

so when the ALP NSW Govt says to the NRL ... WE .. already built 1.6 Billion in stadia for you , & PVL says..
no you didn't
the other mob did

how is that any different exactly ?
talk about horses for courses arguments

 

[flippikat]

"We" as in the Goverment (Collective governments over time) - perfectly valid statement.. after all, Labour takes over the same set of financials, the same portfolio of responsibilities.

Is it really that hard to accept that they campaigned on a change in priorities, got a MANDATE from the electorate to change priorities, and are now acting in accordance to that?
