The NRL want clubs to move to stadiums to increase crowd numbers. It may not work, but that's their motivation.

Need to get the government on board to build a 200,000 seat stadium, cause the ones that hold 40,000 and 80,000 aren't attracting enough people.

But moving to WSS will get us out of an 80k seater to a 30k seater.

So if the NRL can build crowds to 30k (which they often are in Brisbane) that stadium is not big enough.

Don't think I want to go anywhere near Parramatta.

Same with me, transport from the Southwest to Parra on weekends is terrible. Will mean I don't attend as often as I do now.

Direct services from Liverpool to Parramatta on weekends and direct services from Glenfield to Parramatta on weekdays, requires two changes on weekends but the waiting time is minimal with services every 15 minutes, the Glenfield change requires walking from platform 1 to platform 2, a whole 5-6 metres.

The waiting time at Glenfield is 1 minute, the waiting time at Liverpool is 11 minutes, an alternative is to change at Granville instead of Liverpool, Granville platform 3 to platform 4 (another 5-6 metre walk) and the waiting time is 5 minutes.

The travel time from Campbelltown to Parramatta is 56 minutes.

Youre giving me a headache. Do you think they should have made WSS bigger?

Pretty stupid to spend all that money to increase it by about 5k.

Do people living in Campbelltown ever go to AFL, cricket, union, concerts, the beach or anything else that isn't in Campbelltown?
Their poor kids mustnt go anywhere. Its all too hard.

It only held about 20k after they got rid of the hills and I would have thought a refurb would have been enough aswell. But it's being built so may aswell take advantage.
