OT: Parra Stadium sharing

[84 Baby]

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

I think you mean urine. I don't think you could call any of it water

 

[eels_fan]

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

You a little on edge mate?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Can someone tell Ol' Yeller that language changes. Otherwise we might have to drag the silly old merkin outside and bust a cap in his ass. Tell him that means 'to verily execute by musket, forthwith'.

Well yes, provided you didn't want any detail on exactly how it could be included in the plans... :roll:

The footprint (or area covered by) the stands needs to expand to accommodate 35,000 seats. The only way the stadium could expand over the current pool area and retain a swimming centre, is for a new modern swimming pool (e.g. like Homebush) to be planned underground/underneath the expanded stadium's architectural foo... "area".

Oh you mean..."put the swimming pool under the new stand. "
Why didn't you just say that?

I don't mind changes in language. Changes in language are generally fairly poetic turns of phrase that are incorporated into everyday use.
What I hate is this 'corporate speak' that has at its heart the gradual transformation of all of us into mindless consumers and passive players in the glorious religion of money and power. It is capitalism at its rampant best. (I also reckon it's better to have a pool outdoors in the sun, rather than stuck under the half-shod feet of 40,000 screaming Parramatta supporters.)

Incorporating a new aquatic centre into any stadium redevelopment would be great for the local Parra community, as well as the Eels. Not sure whether underneath the stand would work though.

I don't know if you got the memo but the sun is now dangerous. I blame corporations.

When I was a little kid I used to play in the babies pool and climb all over the big seal in the middle. Out in the beautiful sun. That was before the corporations came along.

That seal was my favourite place as a kid at Parra Pools as well.
If we do what Phantom Bart wants and build a pool under the stadium, I hope it has a seal.

On another note, I'm still wondering where at Homebush the pool is under a stadium. :?

It's under a roof though, so surely that means underground/the stadium

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

Thus proving that the sun is dangerous to the brain.

 

[Bigfella]

Suity you're a builder ... Surely you know that the seal would be more important if you built the pool on the roof

 

[Poupou Escobar]

What's in a name?
You have no doubt noticed that the five Asian Cup venues aren't being referred to by their sponsored names during the event.
Ground-name sponsorship is forbidden at tournaments run by the Asian Football Confederation, so AAMI Park, for instance, is referred to as Melbourne Rectangular Stadium.
Too bad Pirtek Stadium at Parramatta isn't being used. They could have called it Tired Old Stadium That Should Be Demolished And Start Again.

Asian Cup runneth over

 

[cumberlandsashes81]

Geez, if the Flare kids hate the Stadium so much they can move to ANZ... or Penrith for that matter. There's plenty of room on those end hills to stand.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Looks like the away sheds are gone.

 

[strider]

damn right - make the merkins get changed in the carpark

[Suitman]

I want the 4000 extra seats.
