The SFS, ANZ Stadium and Parramatta Stadium are owned by the NSW Government.

Kogarah Jubilee Oval is owned by the newly formed Georges River Council.

Brookvale Oval is owned by the newly formed Northern Beaches Council.

Pepper Stadium (i.e. Penrith Stadium) I believe is owned by Penrith City Council.

Southern Cross Group Stadium (aka Shark Park) is owned by the Cronulla Sharks.

Central Coast Stadium (Gosford) is owned by the Central Coast Council.

McDonald Jones Stadium (aka Hunter Stadium) is owned by the NSW Government.

WIN Stadium is owned by the NSW Government.

GIO Stadium Canberra is owned by the Australian Sports Commission.

AAMI Park is owned by the Victorian Government.

Suncorp Stadium is owned by the Qld Government.

1300 Smiles Stadium is owned by the Qld Government.

Mount Smart Stadium is owned by Auckland Council.

Hope the above list of assistance to you. Only one of the above I could not find 100% accurate info on was Penrith.

LOL.
You have shown as much ignorance re cover at the ground as it currently stands, to treat you seriously.You assumed the P Burns stand had cover. You make trolls look good.Must have got teh trots after eating a pie at the ground.
BTW NIB is patched up looking stadium.Modern is hardly he term I would use.
If you haven't seen the future plans, how the hell do you know how it will end up FFS. Patching up LOL.

You decide what the capacity should be ,better tell the NRL.:rolleyes:

You do understand that the profits from the unit development will be upwards of $45m.Plus the rental income $1m pa, plus Leagues club income from a refurbished premises, plus a potential profit on 200 extra units on the retail site.
Oh and the possibility of an A League team.

But you go on,always good for a laugh.

PS You will be pleased to know merchandise sales continue to go through the roof.That happens when you are Premiers, more so when you wait 50 years.
Perhaps a 50 year wait for your mob, might ram some commonsense into you.

So how much are the redevelopment plans and where is the money coming from? You got a link to them?
Never said nib is a modern stadium and you are making my point in saying so. They spent $115mill on nib and it is still no where near a modern rectangular stadium fit for the next 40years. Needs anothef $120mill plus spending on it before you could even say it was close to the class of a new stadium like AAMI or the new western Sydney stadium. It is expensive to make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

Penrith Stadium is owned by Penrith City Council, and my understanding is the Panthers get it rent free but have to pay the maintenance cost

Australia’s first all-weather synthetic rugby league field is to be built by Blacktown City Council, with the support of the National Rugby League.

The $6-million project – at Kellyville Ridge Reserve – is a partnership between Blacktown City Council ($5.4 million) and the National Rugby League ($600,000).

Construction is scheduled to begin in February 2017 and the new field will be opened before the 2018 season, the Mayor of Blacktown City, Councillor Stephen Bali said.

"Blacktown is the sporting city, and Blacktown City Council has the capacity to make international grade sporting facilities available to the residents of Western Sydney," Mayor Bali said.

"This year, we began a three year, $16 million plan to improve our sporting facilities.

"We are the first council in NSW to place a defibrillator in every one of its sporting venues.

"At the moment, more than 157 new sporting facilities are currently being planned and delivered by Council.

"Blacktown City Council thanks the NRL for their enthusiastic support for the project and we look forward to seeing an expansion of the game through the use of this facility."

National Rugby League Head of Football Brian Canavan said the field would be a hub for rugby league in Western Sydney.

"This is another significant investment by our game to ensure that we continue to support the growth and participation of Rugby League throughout Western Sydney," Mr Canavan said.

"I congratulate and thank the Blacktown City Council and Mayor for their significant investment in the field and I look forward to the facility taking shape, with completion in time for on-field play in 2018."

Penrith Panthers General Manager Phil Gould AM said the synthetic field would be a tremendous boost for the sporting code in the region.

"Congratulations to the Blacktown Council and the NRL representatives who have worked so hard to make this wonderful facility possible," he said.

"This innovative synthetic playing field will provide tremendous benefits to the local community.

"We are delighted to have this revolutionary playing field in the Penrith District Junior Rugby League area."

Blacktown City Council has also been congratulated by a leading sporting facilities consultant.

"Blacktown City Council continues to demonstrate its commitment to sport in their city with this investment into Australia’s first dedicated synthetic rugby league field," said Martin Sheppard Managing Director of Smart Connection Company.

"They are investing in the future generations by appreciating the growing demand in their municipality and also planning for future increases by providing opportunities for children, girls and women and adults with more playing hours on this field.

"Synthetic sports fields allow for three times the play that even the most advanced natural grass fields."

The fully floodlit playing facility includes an amenities building which incorporates a canteen, administration area, club room, change rooms, referees rooms, a medical room, toilets and storage.

"The local community also gets a benefit," Mayor Bali said.

"There will also be a ‘real’ grassed ‘mini field’ that will have a fitness-based play space and the landscaping of the entire reserve will be significantly improved," he said.

Since when did Kellyville become part of the Penrith Junior district?

The Hills area was always a Parra nursery when I was growing up

So basically patching up an out of date antiquated stadium. You're right that won't cost $200mill but nor will it deliver a modern stadium. It needs a new main stand $80-90mill going on nib redevelopment prices and a new standnto replace the hill $20-30mill. And that's before you look at the crap stand on the league clubs side. Stadiums should be Min capacity 25k with 18k undercover seats if it is to be used for NRL games.

Good luck raising that money. You do know that the projected development income is about on par with your annual losses don't you? Best behoping for that NRL grant increase.

Sounds naff, but what if the capacity is increased to high 20's? Would it be raised to that?

Probably given the ability of the NRL

That probably has more to do with the fact that there is not enough interest in rugby league in WA.
They tried it before.
Nobody went... worst crowds in the game.
The money wasted on WA won't be forgotten.
It would be last on the list of places the NRL will put a team.

Like I said, they were still better than many Sydney teams even after the first year. So if they were shit, so were those of established heartland clubs who had been around for decades.

They were worse in the end.
They couldn't maintain crowds numbers.
The numbers dropped dramatically and quickly.
I've actually been through all this in here before and supplied stats.

Trying to manufacture a team in a place where rugby league is not popular is asking to lose money.

Perth. Is a 5 hour flight from Sydney and expensive.

Melb 1 hr flight and pretty cheap.

Storm have been in the comp over 20 years now.

2016 Grand Final
83000

How many Melb fans went?
Absolutely sweet f**k all.

One of the most successful teams on the field in modern history and they could not even make up a 1/4 of the crowd.

Would've been lucky to crack 5000 .

How many away fans do you think would be bothered to travel to Perth for a club game?

The time slot might be handy for TV but it will look like a ghost town .

Rugby league is a very small sport.
I watched a game from USA this year and literally nobody in the bar knew one thing about the game.
That was sharks v cowboys final.

You want another team?
Put it somewhere where it will be appreciated.
QLD - central coast maybe
Not f**king Perth it will fail miserably.
