[Jonno]

It will happen it is just how early does the govt have the balls to do it

Gladys had the balls but was railroaded by SCG trust,the Labor party and eventually killed off by Covid
Wont get anything under this government

As I said inprevious post.

Look at the spend since this thread was made in 2015, So stuff has been paid out.

Throw in Accor is still attracting events. When Accor's age and lay out is costing them tourists then it will get done

 

[Jonno]

The government are smart enough to know that Accor is their golden ticket in attracting or even keeping major events in Sydney and that includes concerts such as Taylor Swift and Coldplay.
Im sure the 2027 Rugby World Cup will spark new discussions about a Accor rebuild,especially considering the Stadium really hasnt changed since it hosted the final in 2003.

The government won’t want to wait for NSW to start losing events before taking action.

So she chickened out, then.

It wouldn't get that far.

They have contact with these parties bringing the events here. No doubt they will say when the facilities from their point of view are too old

Stadium Australia was already lined up for a rebuild recently so it’s not entirely out of sight out of mind, just on pause for now.

Putting a roof on it in its current configuration would be a disaster for a rebuild though so hopefully that idea is well and truely dead.

What benefit would rugby league get if they spent 2 billion on a new stadium there ?

Origins and gf already sell out anyway

It’s why Pvl wanted the money diverted to suburban grounds as that actually benefits rugby league

Accor in its present condition has decades left. Unlike the sfs its compliant with fire exits and disability access

As the largest rectangular ground in Australia it already attracts the best soccer / league / union marquee games

Unless Suncorp got rebuilt at 70k and starting taking away major events from nsw would it be an issue

How f**ked in the head do you have to be, to not see the benefit of the game's show piece stadium getting upgraded?

And to suggest that a stadium built in 1998 has "decades" left in its current life cycle is so ignorant I suspect said poster has mental impairment

If you want to play at a suburban ground you can stump the money for refurbishment yourself.

Newcastle should get a new ground. It's a growing area and the fans have shown they will show up.

 

[Jonno]

Newcastle deserve the upgrade,

The poster doesn't even attend games. So has zero idea about such issues

Newcastle isn't the same as Leichhardt.
It is a regional area and gets more events with an upgrade

Exactly

 

[Hey you guys]

Newcastle deserve the upgrade,

Is that stadium design part of an existing proposal?

Its the only known proposal that was used for the 2022 World Cup bid
It still makes sense even today

It’s a great design.

35k+ capacity?

 

[Jonno]

From memory,41,000

That’s perfect for Newcastle as they get crowds in the low-mid 20’s when they are having an average season which wouldn’t be lost in a stadium that size.

But he said he’s attended over 1000! That’s 20 a year over 50 years lol
