Stadium Re-development Thread

[Frenzy.]

Parry's? Yep was iconic

Best Milkshakes in Caringbah back in the day. Teamed with a pie from Simple Simon's the other side of the station stairs.

Mi hermano, if you'd only witnessed some of the real debauchery. I have some wicked (in the evil term) stories.... Reefy, Sticky, Flange, chick's, players etc.
It wouldn't be a matter "if the walls could talk" it'd be more of "how did this carpet get so rank" type thing.
Not to mention the trips getting home...

The Ghost of Debauchery Past would still be haunting where The Captain's Disco was.

St George leagues or the 10th green at Kareela

f**k the Taj....would rather eat my own shit than go there.

The only thing St George Leagues ever had going for it was Sizzler before the latter went the way of the dodo.

Legit? Bloody hell.

I moved down to the shire in 2019 when the mrs was 7 or so months preg. Before being a local I had to drive so never got to do a session there. I still remember when RCB told me it was closing and thinking how long 2022 was to be able to enjoy it.

Are the apartments finished? I can't imagine how those waiting for them feel these days.

takes a year from when they get the sign off at a minimum to do all the interior work


waiting for sharks leagues to re open is like leaving the porch light on for harold holt

 

[Tiger Shark]

The apartments above the centre have only recently had people move in due to delays in getting occupancy certificates I believe. Also been delays in the butcher (now open) and Pancetta (Feb open ) opening due to water issues.

From what I understand this has had a factor in the builders being able to get the leagues club handed over for fit out.

Been an absolute mess but nothing the Sharks can really do about it

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

yeah we have to just wait
sucks. but nothing can be done until we get the hand over

Just another example of what a joke Australia is these days.

I've just returned from a month over there and, I'm sad to say, I just don't miss Australia at all.
Aside from the exorbitant pricing on everything, things like construction delays and blow outs are just expected and accepted.

Over here we had a major construction project going on beside the motorway which runs through Nakhon Pathom to Ratchaburi.

My wife and I were out for lunch with her niece and the niece told us it was going to be a new "Central Plaza", which is a giant shopping mall chain over here. The nearest one to use is in Salaya, which is ~45 minutes away.

At the time I remarked "it'll be 3-5 years before that's ready".
My wife's niece laughed and said "no way".

Sure enough, 18 months later a massive, multi-level shopping mall, with a fit out to rival what we have in Oz is up and trading.

Way too much bureaucracy and red tape in Australia.

This place is stuck in about 1985. And the only thing that gets built is dodgy cheap apartment blocks and crappy sub standard houses in suburbs with nothing to do.

Maybe mid 26. Maybe.

Used to get chips or scallops from the joint next door on the way home from school. A dollar bag of chips would feed four of us.

Has anyone ever confirmed if the club has any commercial protection for these delays? We got paid whilst the ground was unavailable, is there any shortfall payment from the developers for lost revenue?

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

no protection baby

I'm pretty sure that someone asked Dino about this at the last members meeting and he replied in the negative.

I questioned this a few years ago as having been involved in construction for a long period of my life I always had to get works finished on time to make sure the standard contract penalties didn't get applied.
I was aghast when I heard there were no such penalties in place. I'd be inclined to look at legalities towards the persons who agreed to not have them in place originally.

 

[Feej 2: Electric Boogaloo]

They should finish building the club, sell the land that the football ground is on, and either work with the gov to build something somewhere else in the Shire or move to Allianz or whatever it's called these days. Currently it's all death by a thousand cuts and works in favour of those that would like to see us fail.

What was Reefy's old suggestion? Was it Loftus or Sutho? I guess either could work.

Sutho theres less space.
Loftus at the Tafe you have the space and you have the educational spend you could justify etc if you tie it to other things
