The vote is in..........

[Mish]

As reported by Kul...

TIGERS WIN!

7-5 in favour!

a huge crowd. BRET players, Benny Elias

Troddo gave a rousing summary speech!

It was 5-5 with the mayor casting two votes (1 proxy)

 

[smeghead]

Eat a dick to all those Greenie scum.

Souffs fans back to the taint for you

I was standing next to Benny.
He was in great form
Kul said 7-5 ... but in the end it was unanimous i thought
The initial vote was for an amendment to parking re ingress and egress on waterloo st
When the greens knew they wouldn't get the numbers the vote for the actual development was unanimous

 

[smeghead]

Really positive news.

Would have loved to be there but unfortunatley work commitments stood in the way. That and the damn mechanics hadn't finished servicing my car until 6:15pm

Moth, how many people were there. Sounds like there was alot.

I was going to go too but no one replied to me about if it was an open thing or not so I didnt go, wish I had of, must of been fantastic hearing the final result.

Now where are those pesky wabbits??

 

[themanonthehill]

Some very very funny Benny anecdotes from the night
Not for public consumption but he was at his best

 

[themanonthehill]

Hard to guess but i's say 300 or so at a pinch
I might be off but it'd be round that i spose
Prob 80% for and 20 against

 

[magpie_man]

how did the wowsers react to the decision? i would've paid money just to see their faces.

 

[themanonthehill]

When it was obvious they weren't going to get up they filed out before the decision
Cue Benny giving sarcastic waves, seeyas and other assorted gestures

Hmmm now I'm wondering how Balmain are going to claim for interest paid on the land during the Ccl's prolonged deliberations...

Suppose you'd have to show that the ccl inordinately delayed making a decision to the detriment of the Tigers club who had bought the land on an understanding (agreement?) that a timely decision would be made. I'd love to have a look at the entire process...

 

[Trollhammaren]

Really f*cking happy with this news!!!!!!!!

 

[themanonthehill]

This will see the birth of a superclub
It's prime real estate, close to the CBD
We won't be reliant on pokies ... now let woolies and coles rape eachother to see who gets the anchor tenancy

 

[Tap Twist Snap]

Great news lets hope everything goes to plan from now on.

 

[Mish]

How long would it take before all this is complete roughly?

 

[themanonthehill]

2-3 yrs easy I'd say ... I presume the funding is in place so guess they can start in a month or so.

Any WT players there or was it just BRET.

not that i was worried, but there's about as much chance of the club leaving sydney as the harbour bridge now. fkn great news.

 

[Ziggy the God]

Congratulations, great to hear the news.

Unlike MOTH, the majority of Sydney League supporters don't want to see any more clubs go to the wall.

Pleasantries over.

Cheers
