How the west would win - Cup means new stadium

Little mans syndrome at it's best.:lol:

Or a simple case of delusions of grandeur. Whatever way you want to look at it....

A 60-80k stadium, perhaps I might agree with you. 150,000 is comical though. You really have no idea how much it would cost to upkeep a stadium like that, especially when at best it would average 20% of capacity. You're suggesting a stadium bigger than anything that even the English Premier League has :lol:

Maybe we should make a stadium with a million seats just for sh*ts and giggles?

Or you're just an idiot?

We can't get capacity in an 83,000 seater for Origin and Grand Finals only sell out at the eleventh hour - and you want a 150,000 seater?

ANZ keep in mind will likely be getting a further upgrade taking it to 90,000 with for the cup, which will include a roof and retractable ends (making it a proper rectangle).

They cost a fortune to maintain, noone will want to play there and, well, it's just a stupid idea.

Market and run this game right and those huge stadiums will fill up.

I just had a look over at Big Fagoty to see what their take on all this is, and fmd they have a whole sub forum discussing it.

The mexican merkins are sh*t scared of a soccer world cup. Contrasts with the cautious optimism here. Just shows how insular these boggerball fans are.

Rugby League has been kicked to the ground over and over, but the game will survive and thrive. AFL fans seem paranoid about a soccer takeover. I see any benefit soccer will gain will be frittered away like RU after 2003. All the more reason to bring it here.

Why would they want to scale back the capacity of the Blacktown ground to 30-35k?

We desperately need a rectangular ground out there that can house over the 40k mark.
