WA BEARS

I mean it's definitely not, basketball is an indoor sport.

Except Melbourne United play an outdoor game every year...

Multiple venues got used. Across Hoopsfest... 1 I thought were outside.

That might depend on the deal they get from the WA Government if it includes favourable rental terms ie corporate box revenues etc. as is done for West Coast and Fremantle at Optus Stadium

If stadium redevelopment and construction is a condition of the Lincense deal, then it kinda is for rugby league.

Kinda is not specifically

 

[Matt_CBY]

Then what is the discussion about?

Look at my reply to you previous to this one.

 

[Matt_CBY]

Lu peanuts 12 months ago: The WA govt has to bulid a stadium for Perth to get an NRL club as HBF park not up to the job
WA govt announces if Perth gets a team the stadium will be rebuilt
LU Peanuts: Yeh but its not for NRL

never change LU peanuts, never change!

Labor voter logic lol.

Kinda like women’s math.

 

[Perth Red]

10 games of NRL v 20 Force/Glory and several concerts....

Yep is an NRL stadium

sigh, no one is saying it is an NRL stadium. The INVESTMENT they are spending on the stadium is for the NRL club, no other reason. Once again for the hard of learning. No NRL club, no HBF upgrade.

In a indoor stadium with a retractable roof.

It's laughable that you think basketball is regularly played on an outdoor rectangular grass field.

It's also ridiculous to try to discredit any upgrade to HBF Park because it's not "solely for the NRL"

Does it benefit the NRL? Yes, end of story.

 

[Perth Red]

What they should do then is close all the new stands for any other event that’s not rugby league

ding ding we have a winner lol

 

[Perth Red]

LOL, they play basketball thrre do they?? Could you show your ignorance any better?

It did make me chuckle.

 

[Perth Red]

Pvl will get more out of them which isn’t necessarily a bad thing

As long as its going to grass roots, and isnt such a stupid ask it makes the WA govt give up dealing with them, and not the NRL coffers then its a good thing for WA rugby league.

Where did I say Basketball is regularly played on outdoor fields?

They hosted a round of NBL across several venues. The main double header I thought was outside to attract a bigger crowd.

You do realise concerts and other events are at these events the grass is covered?

If they can play Ice Hockey outdoor then they can put Basketball outside

Again you have comprehension issues. I haven't said is a bad thing but $300m to fix a Stadium up doesn't equate to referees etc for the grassroots

Wa govt want this badly

They arent going to walk away over an extra 50 million bucks

And as you said if it goes to wa juniors it’s helping all those fumble kids toughen up

 

[Bukowski]

its an easy mistake to make.

It is, but when one of these experts of all things Perth stumbles I'm gonna pull them up.

Yes I am sure no one at the Glory or Force haven't been lobbying for upgrades...

 

[Canard]

They don't, and they will.

I still don't understand the Bears role in this, they seem to be offering diddly squat and PVL is just guaranteed there return.

 

[Matt_CBY]

So the argument some are putting forward is that unless the stadium can only be used for NRL it does not constitute the WA govt providing funding for an NRL team. Ain't ever going to happen, especially in a non NRL or even a pro NRL state.

I thought you considered yourself an intelligent poster?

 

[Matt_CBY]

Id doubt the NRL will get management of the stadium. All WA Gov venues are run through Venues West. Might also upset the Glory and Force.

Ding ding ding. We have a winner

 

[Canard]

The very thread has suggested (rightly) that any Perth Bid should consider stadium upgrades.

And suddenly when this of offered, via the Tax Payer, its "not good enough, because they also might play Frisbee golf there too"

 

[Perth Red]

Yes I am sure no one at the Glory or Force haven't been lobbying for upgrades...

yeh I can see that conversation.
WA clubs: err can you spend another $300mill plus on HBF park please to add more boxes and capacity.
WA govt: dont you only get 7k to games and sell only a third the current boxes?
clubs: err yeh
WA govt: ok bye.

Care to point me to where anyone has said the upgrades aren't good enough?

Yet in the press conference to announce this.

The govt said Stadium deal discussions have been part of it.

So in Feb, they start discussions with Perth Glory.... the 2 go together

Notice how the upgrades haven't been offically confirmed?
