Parramatta Stadium Rebuild and other stuff

[the phantom menace]

Yes, both sad losses that could really have been accommodated amidst modernity and progress.

Small world. I know Martin Ritchie.

Civic Centre in Parramatta Square is looking good tonight.
Not far from opening now.

I'm looking forward to this one opening. Also wondering whether they'll honour my old 1990s Parra City Library card...

Yeah not buying the bluff move PVL.

It’s about time. The place is a shithole.

Yeah Leichhardt, Brookvale & Shark Park are on the podium for 3 worst venues in sydney.

How many games does Leichhardt host? It's only really good for maybe one "back to Balmain" old boys reunion game every year (or every two years, as the old Tigers start to die out).

Attended Ball and Matts v Wests Tigers at Kirkham Oval, Camden and East Campbelltown in the last 2/3 years , fair to say 85/90% of the junior reps are from that area for the Tigpies.
For some unknown reason they have a COE over an hour away from their juniors, the inner west is not their real target area. Leichhardt Oval is terrible to attend, and facilities are crap.
Strange decisions are their forte.

I know that the NRL are in charge of the finals series and receive all stadium revenue, but this is silly.

The CoE is there because that is where the Commonwealth funding stipulated it had to be...smack bang in the marginal federal electorate of Reid.

Well if they are only having a 11k capacity.

I cant blame the NRL.

Clubs wanted the home ground advantage by not taking to bigger stadium.

This is the price fans have to pay.

That’s pretty much it.
If you want to have your game at a tiny ground then the NRL have to make up the deficit somehow.
Plus Finals games are always more expensive, as they should be.

You could just borrow a hard hat and a hi vis vest and watch from the construction site for nix.

For those of you that grew up in the 80's, 90's and early 2000's, enjoying nights at Jackson's on George.....
Well, the newly built venue is looking pretty flash.




It is part of the new Salesforce Tower redevelopment, and includes the new Gingerbread house.
It will be another great addition to the Sydney foodie scene.
