The Sydney Roosters have today announced an historic move, the first of its kind in 100 years. The relocation will see them base their playing, training, coaching and administrative headquarters at the club’s home ground, Aussie Stadium.
The high performance custom built facilities will house a lit training field, gymnasium and locker rooms together with state of the art offices and meeting rooms for the club’s administration.
The exclusive Sydney Roosters relocation will be further complimented by the recent redevelopment of Aussie Stadium’s elite all-purpose facilities including an expanded and refurbished locker room area.
Although the club’s move will see it create an exclusive self contained base, the spiritual and true home of the Sydney Roosters will remain at Easts Leagues Club in Bondi Junction.
The Sydney Roosters will extend its venue playing agreement through to 2019.
The exciting development will see the Roosters join the NSW Waratahs, Sydney Swans, AFL (NSW/ACT) Commission and Cricket NSW in establishing offices on Sydney Cricket and Sports Ground Trust lands as well as playing home games at the football stadium.
The Roosters will be the envy of the NRL as they strive to get whatever competitive advantage they can for their 2007 Centenary year and in preparing the team for season 2008.
The new playing agreement continues the NRL club’s long-standing association with the Trust.
The Roosters played home games at the Sydney Sports Ground, the site of the Stadium, prior to its opening in 1988.
More recently, the Roosters signed a seven year playing agreement in 2004 and the latest agreement will see the club play at the stadium for a further 10 years.
Roosters Chief Executive, Brian Canavan, said the agreement was another positive move as the club prepares to celebrate its 100th season.
“The club has been partners with the SCG Trust for many decades and this new development will provide us with increased office area within a diverse sports centre of excellence as well as create a great boost for the club in its 100th season.” said Canavan
“Our playing agreement also provides the club and our fans with long term security at a stadium which provides outstanding facilities and playing atmosphere.”
Trust Chief Executive, Mr Jamie Barkley, said he was delighted with new agreement.
“The Swans, Waratahs and NSW Blues have established excellent facilities and we look forward to working with the Roosters to develop their new administration headquarters.
Next year is a blockbuster season for the Roosters.
They will open the year playing the inaugural Foundation Cup match against Wests Tigers at the Stadium on Saturday, February 17 before playing the opening Monday night NRL competition match against South Sydney on March 19.
This will be soon followed by the traditional blockbuster Good Friday clash with the Brisbane Broncos and the Anzac Day clash with the St George Illawarra.
f**king awesome news.
Canavan and our administration. I salute you. It really gives a sense that it is OUR ground. No-one elses.
