Sharks moving to Kogarah

[Russell Crowe's Band]

the best thing the club can do right now is leverage scomos involvement in all things footy at the moment.
he sees it as a brand win. we need him. its a good fit.
the league in partnership , IMO makes us stronger. the ties would be there.

you wanna play at f**kn jubilee oval in 10 years? its time to make some proactive moves.

As an asset, the football ground is a white elephant. It costs money to maintain and gets further and further out of date. No way the club has the funds to rebuild it. Using the PM to grease the wheels with NRL and State Govt to get Shark Park rebuilt would be a brilliant move. Offering the NRL equity makes sense to get it done. AFL has investment in grounds. Use that as leverage.

No value in Kogarah upgrade. Only advantage is more central location.

Make it happen.

Smart move from Dino. If we can get the stadium owned in a 3-way JV with the NRL and State Government, we can modernise it to make it state-of-the-art and then it becomes the major stadium south of Sydney for all rectangular sports, which will ensure people come into the development precinct. Win/win.

 

[shadowboxer]

Agree on all counts. Why they want to be plugging more dollars into Jubillee is beyond me.
Perfect development site - close to public transport, corner site and right slap bang in the middle of a major thoroughfare, which should be taken into account with proposed F6 extension.

Other positive with Dino’s proposal is the fact it could be fast tracked.....already a development site.

What's another couple of years or so at Kogarah if it means going back to a shiny new toy, or relatively shiny depending on the upgrades

The Govt has decided to go ahead with Kogarah, not the Sharks proposal.
The NRL will be pushing us very hard now to play out of there.
I hope we have a slush fund to keep up with the Jones'

An ambitious plan to see funding proposed for the development of a suburban stadium at Jubilee Oval in Kogarah reallocated to Shark Park has been knocked back by the NSW Government.

Treasurer Dominic Perrottet revealed in Budget papers on Tuesday that $3 million in funds for the Jubilee Oval business case would move forward, despite calls from Cronulla Sharks executives to allocate funding to a redeveloped Shark Park.

Acting Sports Minister Geoff Lee said the multi-million-dollar initiative would help create and rejuvenate sporting hubs in communities hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Right across NSW, community sport is the heart and soul of our social fabric and we want to make sure we have the best infrastructure for our State,” Mr Lee said.

“$100 million will be injected into improving facilities spaces across metropolitan and regional NSW to enable more people to participate in sport and active recreation.

“By investing in new and existing infrastructure we will encourage participation in grassroots sport and create employment opportunities as part of the NSW

Government’s multi-billion-dollar infrastructure pipeline.”

What another 'geographical' decision

hey mate, your mates, the NRL, are going to try and get us to move.
Hence why some of us wanted them as partners.
Lets hope Dino is a man of his word and not just another politician in the waiting.

My gut feeling 12 months ago was we'd played our last game at shark park, nothing's changed that feeling. Hope I'm wrong.

To slightly reword that.....The cynic in me says "lets hope that a strong Sharks club with a rejuvenated Sharks Park Ties in with his own ambitions."

What's $3M going to get you these days stadium refurb wise? Sounds like lipstick on pig stuff

Exactly. $3m today will get you a coat of paint, a few new seats and new carpet for the corporates. Hardly a re-build or a compelling case to ditch Shark Park. Not much to worry about here.

The fact they are talking up doing it and not embracing Dinos plan ,that seems to be obviously better on many levels, Is a worry . Quigs' Paranoia is rubbing off on me.

What?!

That money is to be put towards looking into it. They very well might decide that spending that much is not the right plan.

This is far from over

Oh right haha.

That sounds more legit.

 

[Quigs]

Have they got any (Fed) money left after they over spent on the airport and now the 100 plus mill (state money) on the toxic block of land in Parramatta.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

I, for one, am very surprised they are gonna spend this money on suburban grounds to begin with.
anyway. we need to sidle up to morrison, not koala killer

Please, people called for a Royal Commission when he dared to support a modest badly needed clubhouse upgrade to LPFC. Not confident he can quietly get a $100m upgrade to shark park under the radar...

Jubilee is in a Labor seat for both the Feds and State. Maybe there is a vote grab going on?? who knows, and here I am talking of the one thing I hate talking about hahaha.
I'm banning myself to the Qantas thread.
