$50 Million reason Wests Tigers are prepared to quit Campbelltown.

[gallagher]

Penrith had a stadium we would be proud of, seating around 20k.
They are going to demolish it and spend $300 million for a new one. Political BS.
We are grovelling for $50 mil to $100 mil over 10 years. In a fantastic growth area, politics included.
It's an investment in the future. Nothing like it anywhere near it. Parra 'n Penrith the closest!
Bronco's had 40,000 at the game last night. We get 10,000 at CS if the sun is shining.

I can see why we havn't had funding there though as the club has never really committed to the area. Richo is turning that around so hopefully something happens. Is he mates with Albo?

 

[cochise]

What will LOs $40m get us....and when?
Were still waiting on that one.
Could be a new govt next month and they change their mind on it...wouldnt be the first time a new incoming party has shelved plans of the previous mob

LO upgrades will happen in 2027.

 

[cochise]

Maybe... But assume it happens. How could we devote more games to cambo?

Because the plan is CSS will be around 24000 capacity and LO will be around 18-19000.

I was thinking the day about what $50 mill would get you and what they spend it on. Maybe a southend stand with dressing sheds and corporates . As you say, both current stands need demolishing and starting again.

50mill could get washed up in an environmental study if depending on what was found

 

[crazycat]

OKAY ENOUGH!

So we push the Leichaert council to invest 40m in Concord.

Then we push Campbelltown to spend 50m so we stay there.

Can we make up our damn minds!


Look, we get a good stadium. Great, fine.
But grabbing 2x stadiums and having 50m spent on our whim is just a joke.
50m buys a hell of a lot in the suburbs.

Yea but why is that!

Is it because the stadiums have nice rails, and seats???

Or because people want to get in and out of the ground?
...

Now I get disabled access, I know a few fans who have mobility issues and it is a thing. But it's not a 50million thing unless you go to crazy extremes.


Seriously Sydney, we need to cut the council red tape. It is red tape and it is contracting! The "you must get 3 quotes, pay for 3 quotes, dick around with the BS vendor who gives the lowest quote.. Recall them when they do a BS job... Oh and add environmental consultants to do impact assessments that mean nothing, because if they say anything bad they don't get re-hired... etc"... It's all a damn joke.

Both councils should call the wts bluff.

Be honest both grounds are a dog but after 3 spoons trying to demand anything is a bit cheeky.

We need the area more than they need us.

Would be interested if they just said they had other things to spend the money on that would benefit the area

In comparison though, Parra and Penrith had $300m on their stadiums.

CommBank cost a lot more than Penrith Stadium will unless there are absolutely major blow outs. To me the $300m for Penrith seems very high when you see what they are actually getting.

Gold plated toilets?
