Or you can stay behind your computer and spurt out the same crap like the lonely, bitter loser you are.
Timmah said:Eagle Rocker, it's simple - Kogarah is in a marginal seat, Brookie isn't.
Manly - move to the SFS, or tell Warringah Council to get off it's arse. CC is impractical and it's been shown once you aren't welcome here.
This is the fault of Warringah Council, nobody else. Especially not me and my taxpayer dollars.

He's the ultimate LU keyboard hero. He has absolutely nothing.

Eagle_Rocker said:Didn't Newcastle just get a $40 million upgrade to their stadium? I'm not 100% sure here but I thought you received $20 million from the State which was then matched by the Federal? There is no way EA stadium is in the same condition and need as Brookie.
macavity said:Newcastle got (IIRC) 25mil from the State. $0.00 from the Feds.
the fact that Brookie needs upgrading doesnt negate the fact that our western stand has 2-3 years left before it is condemned for concrete cancer. the last engineering report done on it said it had 5 years to go - and that was done I think 4 years ago.....
irrespective, we are the 2nd highest drawing team in the NRL, highest in NSW, and the 6th largest city in the country. we deserve a quality sporting stadium - and crowds would go up further if we had one - and im not even mentioning the Jets.
the Hunter, along with WA, is driving the economy of the nation and getting fugg all back, and all the while Penriff, Cronulla, Kogarah get upgrades. not that im begrudging that, but the whole caper has degenerated to sheer farce.
It shouldn't be an either/or proposition - there is enough in the kitty to do both comfortably. and neither of us should be punished for being safe seats.

Voting Rudd now simply because of this pledge, johny you lost a supporter.
I'm not advocating the move but I think Manly would do a lot better at the CC the second time around IF they moved entire, rather than the half-assed joint venture they stuffed around with last time.Timmah said:Eagle Rocker, it's simple - Kogarah is in a marginal seat, Brookie isn't.

Eagle_Rocker said:So because Kogarah is a marginal seat they DESERVE money from the government, yet we don't? The Government at State and Federal levels have given out over $900 million to NRL grounds over the last 10 years. Brookvale recieved $1 million of that for lights. I didn't hear anyone complain when every other club recieved funds for their home ground. Anyone begrudging Brookvale Oval a mere $9 million for an upgrade are either morons or just extremely biased against Manly. According to some people on here the Northern Beaches should be paying taxes that go towards everyone else, yet deserve nothing in return.
Who is celebrating moron?Timmah said:Interesting that Manly fans are celebrating this announcement as if it's all happening. Labor wins the election, this funding won't be allocated, simple as that. There will be more important things the government will need & want to fund before this. Warringah Council is to blame tbh.
Eagle_Rocker said:Why should my HARD EARNED tax dollars go towards upgrading your clubs sh!thole of a ground at Kogarah? Moron.
Dragonsforthewin said:because your club is a joke and the ground is an even bigger joke. Oki is the best stadium ever built and known to man, just like our great team, the Dragons.
and besides there is no point fixing that heap of crap with tax dollars, all rich people live there they can pay for their own garbage disposal.
