Great news!!

 

[Timmah]

Fantastic news. They've committed a 2.5 mil grant to Belmore as well to help the 'Dogs out: http://www.premier.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/101011-Canterbury-Bankstown-Bulldogs.pdf

Good to see them trying to bring all the older suburban grounds up to speed.

... except Brookvale! lol

Its great for the club, but to play devils advocate a bit...

Is this really where our coin should be going considering the state that this joint is in?

 

[Jono1987]

Good news. Only thing that I'm concerned about is that this stage of development is listed as 'final'. I thought the original plans were to turn Jubliee into an all-seat stadium? Which I believe is needed.

Good news. Only thing that I'm concerned about is that this stage of development is listed as 'final'.

I think the context of that is the final stage of this redevelopment plan.

i.e.

Stage 1: Lights, northern terrace, new concourse and associated works
Stage 2: SW Grandstand and associated works
Stage 3: NW Grandstand and associated works

I thought the original plans were to turn Jubliee into an all-seat stadium?

I've seen that spoken of as a possibility and need for the future, but never an actual plan of the club. I'm sure once this development is completed the next stage will be consideration of the future of the southern and eastern hills.

Which I believe is needed.

I concur. Eventually. Once this stage is finished we need to look for capacity expansion - this doesn't necessarily require an all-seater straight away though.

If they plan on finishing this work before our first home game in 2011 it will be great.

Doubt it'll be finished before the 2011 season starts more likely fully complete by the start of 2012, though it shouldnt effect games being played there in 2011 just a reduced capacity

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

is this a pre election promise?

 

[jimmee007]

just to confirm, this is going to the corner where the seating already exists?

so look at the stand from the hill it's on the right?

do they have a design picture of what stage 3 is going to look like???

Yes to the right, where the temporary seats are currently(the ones not on the concrete slab base)

No design pic yet though there are ones floating around(artist impressions) shown from above

Planned completion before round 5 next year.

Great news for the people of Blacktown waiting for our hospital to be fixed.

Keaneally and NSW Labor are poison atm.

A nuclear blast would be more popular....and more productive.
