Sharks on the move from Rothfield

SHARKS ON THE MOVE

The Cronulla Sharks will shut down their Leagues Club and move all home games away from Shark Park for two years to allow builders to complete the final stage of their Woolooware redevelopment in January.

Ten “home” games will be played at Kogarah Oval and another two in Darwin and on the Sunshine Coast in 2020 and 2021 before the club can return to its traditional home.

The closure of the Leagues Club is a huge short-term blow to finances.

It will cost at least $3 million from poker machine profits but officials believe the long-term gains from a new licensed club in 2022 far outweigh the losses over two years.

2 games in Darwin. That’s just down the road.

 

[Weaponhead]

Sounds like awesome management. Playing at f**king Kogarah for 2 years. They will blow the money from the development in a few years.

 

[M2D2]

Happy its at Koggy, Even though some of you knuckledraggers wont be.

Liking the games at sunny coast

Ok, how the f**k can this happen:

1) why you gotta close the f**king ground for 2 years? The Empire friggen State Building took 1 year to complete.

2) Can’t they prioritise the work going on attached to the ground in any event?

3) when was this known and how are getting compensated? (with improved ground or cash)

This stinks, I don’t like it one bit.

The End.

Seriously get the feeling if this comes to pass that it's the beginning of the end. All that time out of the area etc. Will be an easy sell to the fans I guess.

Modern construction, the merkins are slow as a wet week, even then you a have to be evacuated from your unit a few years later.

Odd...
Not sure of the 2 years build time...not sure either of what this means for the loyal fan base, going to watch games at Kogarah..
Hope the cladding on Gallen tower is in check

f**k another two spoons

Well in a couple of years I will be well past my official retirement age. Maybe by then I might of escaped this hell hole and the NRL will be a thang of my past. Just a fading memory.

By the way you younger pricks keep working and make sure you are paying your correct tax. I have a lifestyle I wish to maintain.

Relax

The Country is in great hands.

Oh and don’t take notice of opinion polls that say a used car salesman will be our next Prime Minister like other dopes believed.

My tin foil hat is shiny brightly as well. Not concerned about Darwin. They ain't moving team there

I'm concerned about the Sunny Coast. Could be a bit of a "let's see how this goes and gauge the interest up there" type of thing.

Ya know the stupid thing about this is we sold ALL our interest in the Development, so 2 years of shutdown but still bills to pay....there goes a lot of the apparent $40 million we get from selling out.


Surely they can concentrate on car park works initially & leave the ground relatively untouched for next year.

End of 2020 season, they have 18 months to finish off the leagues club (& any ground) upgrade.

Proper builders are slow. Whoever is whacking up the 3 trillion apartments along Canterbury Raod are pretty quick. They go up in about 6 months. People in straight away

People out about 6 months later while the repairs happen as you said

 

[carinashark]

It’s only on one side of the ground isn’t ? Peter Burns stand and club right? Just put a huge scaffold, make it a screen , show replays of great Sharks games (only winning games please). Play games as per normal.

 

[Card Shark]

& id question why do we need to move games to Darwin & Sunshine Coast (sorry Cools).

Surely Brisbane, Perth & Central Coast would draw bigger crowds & $.

as per @Frenzy. post.
if those areas attract too much attention it'll be "Hmmmmm Time"
