The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

[Desert Qlder]

It would be horrible if a Prelim final was ever played at Optus Stadium, and its high school multicourt-style surface.

I don’t understand why people here think we deserve second rate grounds for premium quality games mate. If we get a team in Perth we deserve a first class stadium with a decent capacity. As you say Optus is horrible. It is not a rugby/soccer ground. It is unsuitable for rugby league.

 

[Timbo]

The other disappointment about playing on ovals, is the legacy placing of Ozzie rules line markings to give some free advertising to competitors.

Ugly and distracting.

Yes that extremely faint half circle makes me want to pick up a Sherrin.

f**k me calm down.

Thanks I’ve spent half the game trying to work out what he whinging was about

 

[Timbo]

People just live in fantasy land.

The WA government is never going to build a new 40,000 seat stadium because we think we ‘deserve’ it.

A new western stand at nib Park taking it to 25,000? Sure. And it’d be a great club ground. And then Perth would only need to use Optus for week 2 and 3 finals when they draw 40,000+.

When people go ‘ok, then they don’t get a team’. f**k me I’m glad these spuds aren’t running the game. Because then team 18 is Gosford or Brisbane 3 or Port f**king Moresby or some shit.

Jesus Christ. Stop letting perfect be the enemy of good.

 

[Desert Qlder]

People bitch and moan but none of you putzes ever wants to argue straight out ‘ovals are a great viewing experience for footy’.

Always skirting around the edges ‘letting the perfect be the enemy of the good’. f**king lol.

Optus Stadium is shit and will always be shit for our game. End.

NOONE IS SAYING ITS AN IDEAL VIEWING GROUND FOR NRL.

What people are saying is that it’s the realms of f**king fantasy to believe that the WA government will drop half a billion dollars on a rectangular stadium when they’ve already got a 20,000 seater and you can use the oval for the one to two games every half decade when they make a prelim.

Grow the f**k up and understand that occasionally being a f**king adult means you have to make the odd compromise.

You said it was a decent atmosphere at Optus.

It isn’t, it is shit.

The tolerance for it will continue to be contested hothead.

 

[Marlins]

I’d take 20k at QCB over 50k at any Oval.

Are you there? How do you know?

Then you are saying our premium games deserve a second rate viewing experience. That is rubbish.

 

[Pneuma]

Mate it’s an oval. Use your imagination. I’ve attended any number of games at ovals and the experience is second rate.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Are you joking? No f**king way would I waste my money.

So what’s the alternative? The reality is it’s economically unrealistic to build a 40k capacity rectangle in Perth at this point. Get HBF to a decent 25K and get them a team there, and build some support and maybe it’ll happen in a decade or two. In the meantime the occasional match on an oval won’t destroy the game.

The threads name is ‘future nrl stadiums’. That’s therefore what I am discussing. If we get a team over there then it should be on the basis we get a true state of the art rectangle stadium to go with it. There are three codes that would use it. It’s a no brainer.

HBF is getting 18k max currently. Don’t overstate what it is.

Which is why an NRL club would need a new western stand taking it to 23-25.

Beat me to it. Getting a second matching covered stand built at HBF to take it up to 25K is a reasonable and realistic condition for an NRL side.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Ozzie rules markings were present during the Rugby Union Bledisloe match.

Just ugly, should not be considered as a future NRL stadium.

Great, when does construction start?
