OT: Parra Stadium sharing

[Gronk]

Like Baldrick, I have a cunning plan.

Let WSW have the rails. Sell them as cheap seats at Eels games. Then WSW can compensate us for loss of earnings.

So if we lose $10 a seat and there are say 2500 rail seats, then we get 25,000 a match.

Maybe the wavers and clappers pay more to play in the jumping_with_no_shirt area ?

Serioulsy, I'm cool with compromise, but those dodgy fold down seats are great for WSW and add nothing to a quintillion dollar multi code stadium.

Needs far more work. Get ikea on board I rekon. They could come up with an ergonomic solution designed by some pony tailed merkin called Viktor.

 

[T.S Quint]

To be honest, I'm not really a fan of the 'flip-up' seats either.
Every time I jump up to celebrate a try or something I forget to put it back down and end up almost on my arse.

Is this a way of saving space so they can fit more seats in?
I hope I get ample leg room. I'm not a short bloke (6'2") and I don't want to be kneeing the bloke in front of me in the back/head all game.

Will need an allen key to put it together. Will take twice as long as expected to assemble. Will look pretty for a while but eventually start to get ricketty and eventually fall apart

You do know when talking about the 'flip up seats" they are talking about the whole stadium?
This is different to the safe standing seats that have been pictured here.

It is a given that the whole stadium will have the flip up seats.
Sorry to say, but you'll have to get used to that.

I dont mind the flip up but yeah gotta remember. The current stadium seats are fairly close. Tho nowhere near as bad as campbeltown oval. Fmd that place is shocking

 

[strider]

I agree, it certainly doesn't look comfortable, but then I've never tried it. I don't think the front rail for vision would be an issue. The back one for the head space might be though.

Suity

I think the fro t rail is probably about head height of anyone sitting infront of you. But often in a GA area you try n find a seat with no one infront so you get a nice view. The rail would definitely be in your periferal vision, there is no way it is good for viewing. And it would probably be bad for kids tho they might like the monkey bars aspect

Yeah I figured they would do that for the whole stadium.
I don't really care all that much about them flipping up, I just want to have decent leg room.

Campbelltown Stadium was what I had in mind when I wrote that post. Absolutely no leg room at all in that new stand there.
I literally had to apologise to the bloke in front of me just about every 10 minutes because my knee kept knocking him in the back of the head.

You softcocks would never make cricketers, I have to stand for 5 hours in between bowling my thunderbolts.

The BDO goes for 12 hours and most of that you are on your feet.

What is the main benefit of having standing areas ?

 

[strider]

Standing and running or walking around is different tl standing pretty much on one spot.

Having said that, yes i am probably a softcock

 

[Twizzle]

lol

mind you I am generally pretty sore after the BDO or Soundwave, ears are generally ringing for a few days too

I've heard that they are lollipops rather than thunderbolts.

That completely depends on the stadium design.
You have your chance to have a say.

So people with poor judgement (soccer fans) can rip off some idea from a shitty part of the world and feel that they are cultured and superior.

When the twat next to you pulls a flare out of his dacks you want to be able to get moving.

 

[Haynzy]

re: standing ... I can't stand at games anymore - got a bit of a shitty back ... I remember we stood at shark park a few years ago and I had a sore back for a day afterwards - lol (old man!!) - I assume standing on a flat cement surface might be better

Must've been my riveting conversation.

 

[IFR33K]

Didn't know how considerate those WSW fans were.... All they want is what's best for us eels fans. How nice.

the batsmen tend to agree with you

Down to Siddle like pace now Twiz??? I bowl spin in indoor these days and I somehow get more wickets.

[T.S Quint]

Can we have something other than XXXX served at the stadium as well.
Piss off that QLD shit!
