OT: Parra Stadium sharing

[Poupou Escobar]

If you're going to expect private investors to find your Olympic infrastructure you have to make some concessions.

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

It shouldn't be that hard to find - it's the biggest stadium in Sydney.

Of course. But....... the short sightedness of the whole contract is now what is effectively suffocating further stadium development almost 15 years later, when the demographics and sporting culture in this city is predominantly a rectangular sport stadium city. The round ball games (ALF and cricket) have hijacked what could have been a great world rectangular stadium yet our f**king useless politicians have f**ked this city over regarding stadium development.

Useless public servants are always useless.
Experts about nothing.

thats a bit harsh .... they are at least experts at being useless

My apologies mate. They are good at something.

Of course 'find' was a typo. I meant fend.

 

[God-King Dean]

f**k the Wanderers.

Biggest pack of tryhards, thugs, & bandwagoners.

 

[God-King Dean]

Being a Parramatta fan, & saying "I go for the Wanderers", is the equivalent of saying "Hey, guess how much I love the Bulldogs."

 

[Twizzle]

don't you have some where else to play Dean ?

I'd be very surprised if there wasn't sufficient room for a 35,000 seat stadium. After all, you only have to increase the diameter of a circle a little bit to massively increase its volume. How many mathematicians do we have on this board? Perhaps they can tell us.

It's not a circle, silly. It's an oval.

 

[lingard]

wait a second are you saying ANZ can dictate the size of other competing stadiums which idiot signed this contract?

Wait a second. Are you saying an idiot signed the contract? Why would they allow that?

Regardless, there is plenty of room.

All we need to do is f**k off the swimming pool (relocate it to the new residential development area north of the Leagues Club) and piss off the southern training field. There's room for another Suncorp there if only this country was progressive enough to make such decisions. Parramatta will be the hub of a population of over 3 million people within 20 years. It's a joke that we cannot keep up with 3rd world countries when it comes to stadium infrastructure.
I read about so many 3rd world countries building shit hot stadiums (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=263 , yet us..........? We couldn't organise the building of a decent Port-a-loo.

It's actually a lot easier to get shit done in the third world, Suity. Things aren't as regulated, and bribes are cheaper than the price of dealing with bureaucracy.

 

[phantom eel]

If we're talking about a total rebuild for a new stadium on site, they could probably incorporate a (modern) swimming pool facility in a similar location, but underneath an expanded stadium footprint?

Kind of like the indoor Homebush aquatic centre, sat below ground and underneath the approaches to a new expanded 35,000 seater.

As stupid and corrupt as that sounds, I reckon it's probably true.
It's also why we cannot get an upgrade without going through so much political crap.
Baird promises money for upgrade. Labor opposition oppose extra spending. Baird get's voted in. Budget spending doesn't allow for stadium upgrades due to unforeseen state budget deficit.
Labour get in and claim previous Govt have left them in a pickle re budget, so no spending allowed for stadium infrastructure.
The whole thing is a complete shit fight, and f**king pathetic.

Plus labour costs are lower

 

[strider]

Plus they probably don't bother with the less important stuff like hospitals, roads, law inforcement and fast internet for playing blindingly fast lolcats videos

 

[Bigfella]

You only have to look at how much better Melbourne's stadium facilities are to see that Suity and Pou are right about the third world point

How could they possibly relocate the swimming pool without spilling all the water? That's just stupid.

'Underneath an expanded stadium footprint'? I f**king hate talk like that. You mean, 'included in the stadium plans'.
