Parramatta Stadium Rebuild and other stuff

Argy bargy about who gets to play the opening match at the new unnamed stadium.

^^^^^

Gurr added that the Eels would also be willing to play up to as many four away games in the opening month of the season, in order to be the first team that play their first home game at WSS — as opposed to ANZ Stadium.

“The reality is, we’ll be an anchor stadium there. It’s right next to our leagues club, it’s within the Parramatta Eels precinct, so there’s a lot of good synergy and a lot of good storylines there, that it would make sense to dictate that we are the opening game of that stadium,’’ Gurr said.

Having experienced the entirety of Beatie’s period as Premier of XXXXland, I think he will be great for the NRL. Knows how to work the media and deliver on big commitments.

I look forward to seeing what he can bring to the role.

Probably needs to turn his location off though so he doesn’t highlight that he is tweeting about Sydney stadiums from Cairns!

The anti-stadium lobby seem to be propagating the myth that sporting bodies like the NRL make a profit. IIRC we (the NRL) have nothing left in the balance sheet and have never made a profit.

Plus they seem to be pushing the angle that the Gov builds these stadia which translates into the NRL profiteering from the expenditure. Clubs do pay "rent" for home games and don't get the free ride that is suggested.

His stupid bandana has cut off the blood supply to his noggin.

Fully respect your right to object to the stadium but at least put an informed position across you muppet.
