Parramatta Stadium Rebuild and other stuff

[hindy111]

Na. I like shiny new sparkly stuff. Found my seat. Good view and it worked.
Found the toilets. They worked.
Found the bar. Tick.
Field was great although someone will be smashed into the side fence. Shit its close to the field.
From sitting on planks and getting splinters 55 years ago at Cumberland, I reckon this is a bit of all right mate.

Fair enough.
I think the stadiums great but doesn't anyone take pride in their work and doing the best job they can? I think there is some poor workmanship and if personally would be embarrassed if it was my work.

I reckon they were pushed to get it finished by the deadline.

It's a great stadium. Amazing. And it's just a few minor touch ups needed. It just stuck out to me. But I am a bit anal with this stuff. No biggie.

Well bring your paint brush next time

I got stung $25 as club membership card wasn’t working.

For those that may know, stadium built by state government money, but is the land owned by parramatta council (govt owned again) or Parra leagues (or. Leased by LC)?

I can help. The parcel that wraps around the stadium from Kings Oval to the former pool site is owned by the Parramatta Park Trust. The smaller parcels are owns by a company known as Parramatta Stadium Ltd. I suggest that the 100% shareholder would be the Minister for Planning. Quite a few assets are owned this way, as it allows governments to easily sell off bits of the farm.




The land owned by the LC was posted by me earlier in the week. The open car park between the club and Bankwest is where the hotel is planned.

Across Eels Place, the club owns the car park and two blocks of units on O'Connell Street.

Hindy, are you a building inspector lol fmd. The paint will get scuffed after a few games anyway. The stadium is absolutely perfect imo.

Its a footy Stadium not a f**king 6 star hotel. Its absolutely stunning. Some very nice touches with a few nice bars. The roof's coverage beats any stadium in au, and its very accessible.

The eateries are also plentiful and cover all the bases in variety

Was I the only one who notice the lack of bins? It is going to be pretty dirty very quickly if it is hard to find a bin to get rid of rubbish.

Agree about some of the shoddy work - it is noticeable

 

[Gronk]

You didn't think the finish was a bit rough?
Thing on piss all over place, paint overspray as well.
Sure just cosmetic but f**k some poor trades work in my opinion.

I agree, if I paid $300m for a reno like that I’d be holding back the final progress payment with all those defects.

Whinge whinge whinge. If you don't like it, go & sit on the wet hill at brooky or Kogarah fmd.

 

[84 Baby]

Well I think we found the guy who did the painting

I dunno, mate. I don't think he'd be able to see the game from there.

I remember the old Carrara stadoum on the gold coast, you use to be able to put your rubbish under your seat and it would slide down to a chute to the front row. They just come along and scoop out the rubbish, thought it was clever.

Some people have higher standards that is all.

These cosmetic things wont effect the game experiennce at all.

Just a shame standards in building in dustry have dropped so much.

I wouldn't call you anal. But it's along those lines.
