My thoughts -

Negatives-
Seats felt like will brake if sat on edges and heavy person
Little leg room if people want to talk past isles
Atm's or lack of
The finish. There was paint overspray all over place.The paint job was shit house. Hand rails not straight and surface rust on beams holding sails.


Possitives

View seansational - The worse seat is still ok, especially for General admission.

The sound system

Tv screens

Lighting

Food options excellent and prices are ok.

Amount of toilets.

Amount of entry points to isles.

Geezez Hindy. You get to tour our 250million dollar stadium and you spent half your time taking photos of dirty or crooked railings?

Yeah ok.

Yes. It stood out that much. Are we meant to accept mediocre? Is that what you want to build the club around?

This is what I wanted. Perfection. And the highest standards.

Parramatta Eels will always have precedence to the stadium over Wanderers. Long term tenants and will always be around due to the funding by leagues club.
The media loves Parra.
Wanderers are new and not guaranteed to be around as long as Parra due to being privately owned. If Leterer slows funding and team performance drops, they could lose fans to new MacArthur team, affecting their appeal to sponsors, fans etc...
Football/soccer has failed out of Parra in the past. Yes this team is different, but you understand A league is not as strong as NRL.
Just my opinion.

A lot more emphasis on Waratahs, tigers wanderers than the eels while out at stadium this morning.
Why I don’t know why when more blue and gold supporters are around the ground.
West’s Tigers are the barstards of NRL. No real team, No real ground, No identity, yet want a slice of the western sydney pie. Eels need to push harder on their marketing for this stadium to maintain or create a home advantage fortress.
Otherwise will become another ANZ and never feel at home

Firstly, I'd just like to say that your pic updates have been the best of anyone and I can't thank you enough for what you have provided.

But, I don't understand where your paranoia is coming from with regards to some of your comments.
You seem to believe that Bankwest is the Parramatta Eels stadium, and ours only. I don't understand why you think this. It is a state govt owned stadium and is rented out to any available tenants that wish to hire the stadium.

Yeh, sure, the Eels have primarily been the major tenants over a long period of time. That changed in 2012/13 when the Wanderers came on board.
There is no issue with sharing the stadium with another major tenant. One plays the majority of their games in winter, the other in summer. Without each other, there is no way we have the shiny new stadium that both the Wanderers and Eels now have.

As for the Tigers, Bulldogs and Waratahs, they will just be very minor hirers of the stadium.

It will always be Parramatta stadium for the Eels. That, there is no doubt. It will always be Wanderland for the Wanderers, who see it as just as much as a home ground as the Eels.
I'm not quite sure why you have a problem with that?

As for part of your last sentence in the first post I quoted - I'm sure no one has ever doubted that.
