Just. It overlooks botany bay but it's a fair few km's away. Water on the horizon from top of the grandstand, but at WIN you can throw a stone into the water from the hill!

yeah, but the cowboys were around for a good 14-15 years before the Fury came along and we've always had good crowds, throw into the mix that we have been rubbish for a fair bit of that and you could probably up good to we've had 'excellent' crowds (ignore this year as it was always going to be a rebuilding year crowd wise) so it would still have weight behind it with only 1 full time resident.
This is the map of the area where I was told they are looking at, this is just what I have been told by someone on the stampede site so it's not exactly official but most people over there are on the level so I have no reason to discredit what this lad is saying.
it's some old rail yards that are within about 5 mins of the inner city area. Old mate reckons a new leagues club has also been proposed to be built next to the stadium as well. DFS has served it's time, comparing it to Robina and a few other stadiums around in the 27k capacity mark and the old girl needs more than just a lick of paint which is all the government have spent on her of late. No roof, toilets are lacking, western stand has sub standard corporate facilities and DFS is out in the sticks (for Townsville, lol) and something like what is being proposed would be awesome for us. The mall just got ripped up in town and re-opened to vehicular traffic for the first time in 25 years, the local council are trying to tart up the inner city and revive it, this location of the new stadium would help that along, the night club strip and restaurant strip isn't very far from this new location either so the punters keen to bung one on after a game will love it.
