Stuart ayres the sports minister is a panthers fan so no suprise penrith will get to the top of the queue for the latest upgrades. More Bankwest style stadiums are the way to go anyway. 25k for penrith will be perfect.

I reckon suburban grounds with hills are overated anyway especially for winter sports when it rains who wants to stand in mud and rain with no shelter. Brookie is a dump and leichhardt is overrated imo.

And it is pretty funny manly have been carrying on for years about upgrading brookvale "absestos" oval. And still havent. Despite having a former PM and multple state premiers being either manly fans or from that electorate. They may get an upgrade here but wont be first in line and no guarantee.

Leichhardt Oval is indeed overrated.
I never understand why commentators bang on about it so much. It’s a f**ken dump.
Campbelltown Stadium is better than Leichhardt but for some reason it’s Leichhardt that is Wests’ ‘home’ ground.

Unsure but the powerhouse in Parra is off from what I been told.

Leichhardt is my favourite ground in Sydney, though not for the facilities or the view. It's just the vibe.

?????

The current govt have been adamant that this will go ahead. Not sure why they would change their opinion after all the money that has already spent.

Yep it’s 100% approved, funding allocated and the Land & Environment Court action re: Willow Grove resolved.

Edit: Seeking leave to Appeal

I'm certainly no heritage fanboi .... I think alot of the "heritage" movement is full of f**kwits on a power trip - but I think there is also meaningful heritage and these sort of buildings are probably that if they still serve a purpose

One thing near work that literally cracked me up the first time I saw it is the hoardings the government have put up around some properties that have been demolished in North Sydney for the new rail - it says, "Heritage, always evolving" - yeah, its "evolving" when it suits you, otherwise you have to paint your house poo brown cos thats f**kin heritage merkins

The heritage thing needs to be measured.

Without green bans, The Rocks or Woolloomooloo and Potts Point would not exist.

I thought that that the relocation of Willow Grove was an appropriate compromise provided that it is plonked in an appropriate location which respects the building (viz; not in the middle of Harris Park sandwiched bewteen two glass 20 storey buildings.

Looks like someone was having a psychedelic flashback when they were designing it. Looks very busy and the design team trying way to hard to standout and be different.

Whatever happened to a simple but classic colour/s and design? Thankfully when viewing games there will be people sitting in the seats to break it up and cover this erratic and absurd hallucination on a seat.

Who thinks of these types of messes and then it goes to the next level and signed off on by others too. Jeez.

Oh well at least I like the blue in it, which is better then the boring grey of Parra Stadium, which I find makes Parra Stadium to dark during night games and lacking colour unless completely full with the colour of peoples jerseys making up the colours..

Guarantee you that 99.99999999999% of punters don’t give a rats arse about the seat colours .

Parramatta looking impressive this June. Good views of the light rail progress as well.

Westconnex has temporarily acquired Balmain leagues. Benny sure to shit his liver.

Old Balmain Leagues site to remain an ‘eyesore’ for seven more years

The head of Wests Tigers has warned the club may never return to its Rozelle home as a result.
