Parramatta Leagues Club board sacked, administrator appointed

[Gary Gutful]

Hook lost the confidence of his players.

Not sure BA has lost the confidence of his players. That said, they may be suffering from Stockholme Syndrome.

Maybe Gus just can't be hands off.

Is this true?

They say this country was built off the sheeps back. That building is where it all started and why Parramatta exists today. It is a f**king crime that only the facade exists today of the old wool store. It's no surprise really though when you realise that this country has always been run bun self entitled, self serving criminals. Oh well, we were a penal colony so what should we expect eh?

What exactly is your point?

It’s not like it was a brewery.

He is a hands on type of guy. Just the way he gets things going. Love his firm approach and hard and fast style.

Truth be known, that building was a flour mill, a tanner, and a candle making factory before it became a Woollen Mill in 1887. It actually had nothing to do with the formation of Parramatta which was settled in order to grow crops away from the sandy soil in the Sydney Harbour area - but that is a tale for another time.

Tell me what the point would be to leave a 100 year old wool mill standing on a spot like that ? I am all for keeping our heritage but there has to be some limits.

What I incorrectly said about the building was what I remembered from the historical sites excursion that I went on in school. It's possible that I was not paying full attention on the day and missed the other bits about it's history.
I just think it's a real shame when buildings of real historical significance (ok, not so much the case with this one) get knocked down so some shady developer who is making donations to political parties can have at it.
Don't get me started on the ones that are "protected" and mysteriously self combust.
Wait and see what happens with all the old buildings down in and around the psyc centre. Ahh f**k it, burn em all down for all I care.

The problem with the Northmead one is they just left the shitty facade that looks really out of place, even more so now those monstrosities have gone up over James Ruse Dr. Should have left the entire building or just got rid of the facade as well. It looks f**king stupid
