It would be nice if soccer could maintain some interest long enough for some funding. At least it would have a point.

Oh well, back to ethnic cleansing.

You reckon they'd be looking at upgrading the stadium without the Wanderers? Ok then. Parra has certainly earned it on our own, eh?

I like the Wanderers being around. Using the stadium for the whole year is a good thing.

Takes me back to years ago - soccer, baseball, league, the Eels buying the rugby club. There was a vision.

Biggest threat to the Stadium funding isn't really the rent-a-crowd losing interest in soccer yet again, it is the "Homebush Eels" crap.

Fantastic news. Always had a soft spot for the area. Love seeing the area grow and have a world class stadium.

The interesting question is, With the current stadium being torn down and a new one being built, will they change the names of the stands? You would assume they would, and if they do, do the Wanderers get a say in how they are named? This new stadium would surely be a truly shared stadium now, as opposed to now, where they are kind of living at our place, this would be a new home ground for both teams.

Could we see the Cronin stand replaced with the name of a soccer great? The Popovic stand perhaps?

Hard to say really, given that Parra has the longest history at the ground, it would make sense that either the names would remain as they are, or if they had to be re-named, They would consider honoring people based on their contributions to Parramatta, but I really have no idea how they could do that, and be fair to the wanderers, given they don't really have any history, yet.
