The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

Tell me you've never read any history without saying you've never read any history lol.

Yeh, Copernicus, Giordano Bruno, Galileo, Darwin, Judith Levine, Bloom, Bowie all conservative types that went with the flow. Friends of the church, they all were

Afl never has any issue getting any stadium if wants upgraded

 

[Brutus]

That’s great except you’ve still got nowhere to hold the athletics

ES Marks field Moore Park in Sydney

Isn’t the use of Hensen Park about 50/50 between RL & AFL?

Can we ask AFL to get nso upgraded before the perth bears have to play there?

Hbf park

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Hbf park

The AFL would demand it be made into a ‘multi use’ venue, though

 

[Pjf04b]

Ok, RL, RU, Soccer, Women’s cricket.

In fairness, they've contributed $4.5m to this one (out of total $12.5m being put forward for the project), so have pushed this one over the line. We got $40m for Leichhardt without contributing a cent.

Governments are far more willing to spend money on projects where others are contributing.

The fact that you are aware of the exceptions only shows that you understand the rule...

99% of history is individual ethnic and/or religious groups competing for resources and/or power. Most societies throughout history were lead by minoritarian interests and the intelligentsia of said society at the time, and suggesting otherwise is just pure ideological talk.

Trying to force historical societies to conform to modern philosophical and political outlooks is stupid on face value. The concept of the left/right, progressive/conservative, political dichotomy wasn't even created until the French Revolution and modern post-war conceptualisations of conservatism wouldn't be recognisable to them. It'd be completely unintelligible in basically all other historical contexts.

Viewing history through an oppressor/oppressed lens is particularly dangerous. It's a simplistic and dysfunctional way of viewing modern societies, let alone historical ones.

 

[Suitman]

Oh ffs.
This has what to do with NRL stadiums?

 

[The Great Dane]

Oh ffs.

Why should we care about stadiums when the NRL clearly doesn't?

The NRL does nothing about the stadiums that're degrading and actually need work, whilst incentivising games being played out of shit box public grounds.

Apparently they're tolerating intimidation and crowd violence at said shitboxes again as well.

Haha Sydney is so stuck in the 80's!

But the new SFS is only 3 kms away. It cost over $800 million. Rabbits should be there full time.

You mean Joel Caine is stuck in the 80's.

 

[Perth Red]

You mean Joel Caine is stuck in the 80's.

He's not alone:

V’Landys told Sydney radio station 2GB that fans “want to be able to walk to their facility, they want to be tribal and we're not going to give up until we've got all teams playing out of suburban grounds in Sydney.”

 

[Desert Qlder]

Perth has a suburban ground, they played there Friday night.

Redfern Oval is owned by the City of Sydney Council. Based on that council's current membership, having it revert to be a ground for professional sport is a 0% chance of occurring, and that political makeup is unlikely to change much anytime soon.

The council made it open to public use, which I believe is one of the reasons, but not the only reason, Souths no longer use it as a training base. Again complete pie in the sky, unrealistic thinking by Joel.

every ground is in suburb you gonk lol. That doesnt make it a suburban ground.
Centralised, multi-tenanted, good public transport infrastructure, modern design, decent capacity. Those are the definitions of non-suburban grounds. Commbank is in a suburb but its not a suburban ground.

and yes Perth has lots of suburban grounds. But HBF Park isnt one of them.
