i didnt say you did - we are on the same page here


can you point out where i have not backed the development?

iv'e been an advocate

people discuss the teams poor performance each week, they discuss pommeroy's selection in the side, they question gardner being dropped, question tatau's selection, they even question the coach etc, etc etc - it doesnt mean they want the team gone, they are trolling or arn't supporters if cant they cant attend games

some people get quite emotional over it all, yet i leave out the insults and discuss the topic at hand and some think i am against the development

i think the team has played crap recently so the same train of thought see's me wanting them gone as well

iv'e met quite a lot of people from this forum - and im as passionate of the team as each of them are

its no different discussing and questioning the financial perforamnce of the club - look at the discussion and passion its generated in this thread alone.

the coaching staff dont look to next week without analysing past performance, its no different to the business outlook

the club has selected the path of the development - at this point in the club(s) time, its the most viable option from their efforts and research, to which i advocate

as gregos stated - its neccessary to ensure ongoing survival - who wouldnt support it

Did I say, you didn't back the development?.The negativity and constuctive criticism is one thing,the knocking by others such as Capsis is another.
Well the previous admin under Pearce hardly set the world on fire,suggesting their past performance has been analysed.The current admin unpaid,would hardly be ignoring the damning results of the last 12 months.That was my assessment from monday nights meeting.

And rest assured the bankers have also been reviewing past performances of the current admin,hence the ned for the change in development tactics and the need for the money to be paid within 90 days of 3A approval.
Anycase the next elections will decide who has performed up to scratch.
The council has now put their foot in it,by knocking the proposed parking arrangements.They too will soon have to face the voters and capsis out on his ears ,would make my day.

I can't believe half the crap in this thread...fmd..It's just winning. The difference in every aspect of the clubs operation is immense. The sales of merch when you're winning...activity in Leagues club restaurant and bars..thousands and thousands of extra ticket sales to home games.....a winning culture prints cash..everybody wants to get on board. Australians have too many other options for entertainment than to follow a boring brand of football that usually loses........It's not like pommy soccer where all the seats are sold before the season even starts because there's f**k all else to do all winter.... and it wont matter a rats arse where the team is geographically if it's not winning....f**k all people are gonna show up. What difference does anyone think Lismore or Coffs is gonna make if the team loses most of the time?

With REspect Newman, your facts have no sound logic.
Anybody with any interest in real estate knows what that land is potentially worth as un occupied allotment approved for multi sory mixed commercial residential.
If I was ST George Bank Loans manager, I would foreclose tomorrow & tip all my corporate investors into this great opportunity in cronulla for 2 thousand units & retail centre.

To say that something 20 km further from the ocean is of more value than the Sharks grounds is ludicrous.

Also, this avenue, has not been investigated or researched by the club.
Anything that was relocation oriented was immediately discarded, with the exception of the absurd. Ipswich, Adelaide etc.
The titans relocated after 2 years. Nobody noticed. Except for the improvements.

To try & belittle the conversation with the going against the grain stuff is just childish from all of you.
I think you would be shocked at jsut how comfortable many people are about the Sharks moving away from Woolware.

1 . There is more immediate money for the Sharks in joint developing the entire land allotment.
2. The long term revenue streams from the total development, would dwarf the current projections of this current development.
3. the football club would receive 1.5 million dollars each year for 3 years to play out of the SFS.
4. The landlock strategy set in place by the merger would be defeated in principal
5. Any relocation back to the Shire in a more sensible, thought area, would enshrine the team back in the Shire.

We could just f**k the leagues club right off & put a bar in the new grandstand & call it the Cronulla immortals bar. Thats all we want. None of us want pokies. why do we persist with that line of thinking?

There are many locations available in the Shire. Just like when shark park was a tip. You just have to look & ask.

Nothing to do with me, of course. But those are good points to me, as someone who has no emotional investement in the Sharks.

It would be my line of thinking if it were Saints in the same situation.

This ^ and your previous posts along the same idea :idea::clap:

As a stain supporter I'm obviously not losing sleep over this issue but it just seems to me you are all getting herded into only one plan of action. The above plan by blacktip-reefy seems like one I would support. This whole deal seems like a rip off to me (yes I have not studied the proposal as well as an average sharks supporter)

What do I know? Being a pommy immagrant I used to support a super league team in England. This team no longer exists (as such) because it got stung by a dodgy real estate deal involving the local council and a developer.

I know this is a tense time for you all but give blacktip-reefy a break will ya FFS. He is thinking outside the square ... maybe more should try.

Is this figure an estimate, stab in the dark, or a factual entitlement to any club who plays out of the SFS?

I'm with you one this idea.

Cronulla Sutherland Sharks - Check
Black White and Blue - Check
Playing out of Sydney - Check

If the football club can survive without the Leagues club, you have won me over 100%.
 

Frenzy.

That would be because the Pied Piper has all his followers brainwashed.

They don't think. They don't formulate ideas. They simply run with the propaganda fed to them.

This is well evidenced in this thread which has become enlivened with posters who call this forum a cesspit, The Cowards Castle or whatever. Funny how it's become a good forum to run a campaign.

It's not even needed.

DI can't be beaten at the election. Check

There will not be a majority of members voting against the proposal. Check

The proposal doesn't need a unanimous decision from the members. Check

So, what's the need for all the prodigals to return home to run the agenda?

What are they really concerned about?

Probably nothing. Probably only here because it's in the psyche of the cerebrally laundered to be here.

The End

With the cost cutting and financial constraint programs the Chairman has brought in you'd be barking at the moon if you'd call Damian Irvine or any of his supporters "prodigal"

Why the fair fugg do you keep referring to Irvine as Damian Irvine?
Or Sharks Chairman, Damien Irvine?
And make sure you get that capital C on chairman.

Everybody else calls him Irvine. Or Elmer. Perhaps even dickwad.

Just how 'close' are you to Elmer??
Siamese twin?...

Closer?...

I reckon from now I will refer to myself in the third person.

Starting now...

This was another quality post by The Enlightened Forummer, Since 73.

It's called "respect" - a concept that you have obviously never earned or given.
