The ‘Anything and Everything’ Thread

[2012....Sharks Year]

I'd had only about 10 hours sleep over the last 4 days due to shift changes and my body clock seizing up.
I got home yesterday with some beer to knock me out.
Sitting on my balcony I got to No.5 and fell asleep for a couple of hours.
Woke with a moment of clarity
I had the solution to fix our home ground.
1st step - enter and win one of those US $20Billion dollar lotteries.
2nd step - get PVL, Dino and Mace in a room together and work out the plan to lobby the Govt's as I will be putting up $1Billion on behalf of the Sharks
3rd step - either renovate the ground or build a new one at Loftus. With one condition. If it's Loftus The Dargons have to play out of the new ground, but it will be the Sharks ground and there will be the Shark emblem everywhere, ala Roosters at the SFS.

Can anyone see any flaws to this plan? Because I've got tunnel vision for the project and cannot see anything untoward or wrong with it.
Suggestions for both positive and negative welcome.

I’d only be up for the Loftus/Dargons suggestion if there was an absolute guarantee that the facilities would be professionally sanitised after each Goons game. Please write that into the costings before buying any lottery tickets BBB.

theres a few small things we could do in the limited space we have.

Fundamentally the main reason people love shark park is its proximity in the shire and the locality, its our home, and f**k you why should we move and other things ive been told by multiple people

any actual move would be too detrimental.

they do need to fix things in the immediacy, toilets and food options. i dont know why we couldn't get grants for that kind of sanitation and safety standard work? it might be a couple million sure but not 300 like at panthers and so on.

im firmly of the view that its crap, but its our crap, and the fans are extremely forgiving so really you only need to make tweak here and there on the surface while trying any avenue for real funding.

I also believe you can put temporary things up ala manchester cricket ground or manuka for the giants and nobody actually gives a shit that its temporary and you can leave them there forever.
especially at a venue where more than half the seats undercover anyway, whats more?

when the club comes online, you have that corporate area behind the glass, (im hoping they have managed to wrangle control of the king wan as well) you have the upper terrace again. you have the club deck
the corporate areas the club wants is actually fairly well serviced.

the marquee comes down, but on that platform it sits on, on id put in a temp grandstand like at the golf or GP.

sell that at a different price point to ET stand, hell, actually decent GA seating in the place would be a novelty.
a chair to sit on, and a view of the field? what sorcery is this? and so on.

likewise that south west corner you could do the same thing with a marquee behind it and sell that at a different price point to your other corporate.

do the same thing in front of the big black wall

if they added an extra 1000-1500 actual chairs on top of the increased standing capacity that couldn't hurt.
i dont believe you would need to break the bank either.

It would have been awesome to see Seymour Shaw developed into a first class football arena for the Sutherland Sharks Soccer and Rugby league team, Miranda the centre of Business/ Medical/retail centre of the Shire, easy access to the train station 10 min walk, The council is spending up big to improve the place at the moment.

Funny you post that today.
This morning on my way to do school drop off I drove past and thought the exact thing.

Parking at the train station and behind the old SUS club.
Maybe even acquire the SUS club and do a joint venture. Freshen that place up.

You were sober, that's not an excuse!
I've got excuses......

I reckon a plan that big needs at least 6 beers

 

[shaggs]

Was I though?

Lets play at Henson Park.....

 

[shadowboxer]

Big weekend.
Friday -AC/DC
Saturday - The Church
Two complete extremes but well worth the effort.
AC/DC were quite thankfully, epic. ‘I get the angst’ but damn it was something else. Any fear of old blocks phoning it in, was well and truly bollocks.
The Church was a real surprise. Kilby actually have a good time and the band were solid as.
The last month has been a blur. Looking forward to re gathering some brain cells
