lets just pretend we had this wonderful thingy called the internet and this forum around 1978...pick your whinge...
we must keep cumberland oval. it's a lovely surburban ground, full of our tradition and our history. all those memories of ken thornett, brian hambly, ron lynch. those great games against newtown and western suburbs and balmain. mick cronin toe-poking leather footys off mounds of sand.
cumberland oval is parramatta. we don't need to rip it down and build this new fandangled big monstrosity called the parramatta stadium. it's way too big. it will look so empty unless we can get at least 15,000 people there to watch the game. all the extra traffic around parramatta due to this new stadium is a joke. and we will lose our spot on the hill where we could stand with our mates and drink beer and watch the footy like it was meant to be watched. sit in the grandstand and you will be so far up in the sky and away from all the action. you will have to buy a numbered seat, so you have to sit in one spot all day, away from all your mates. ridiculous.
and what about those ugly light towers that are going to be built around the ground. what a complete waste. we play footy on sunday arvo. anybody would think that we are planning to play most of our games at night.
so where will we play when we are building this stupid parra stadium ? belmore ? are you kidding? move in and share a ground with the canterbury bulldogs ? i don't think so. we will never win a premiership if we give up our home ground advantage.
no. cumberland oval is our home for all these years and it has served us very well. shove parra stadium up the arse where it came from because we don't want it.
we don't like progress so we must stay as we are and not move with the times.
Sorry Tyler but I was around then,and I have to agree with Fishy to an extent. Parra Stadium was enthusiastically supported by us then.So much so that we even burnt down the existing grandstand to assist the rebuild(of course it didnt end up as assistance but rather hinderance but that is another story)
We werent all that happy about moving in with the Bulldogs but we knew we had been naughty little people when we burn down the grand stand so pretty much accepted it.
