ANZ Stadium Rebuild Cancelled

[cochise]

i like bankwest but with the leagues club it doesnt feel like it is ours
ANZ as big as it is doesnt feel like someone elses ground

ANZ doesn't feel like someone elses because it is always empty lol

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

For me it is the feeling of Bankwest i like how modern it is its great but we have a COE at concord we could stamp ANZ and CSS and LO and have all those areas covered

 

[gallagher]

Whoever said LO/CSS for the out of town opposition home games and ANZ/BankWest for the Sydney opposition home games I think has it right with the grounds in their current state and configurations. I think this maximises the revenue for the club and minimises any losses.

100 of millions of $$ need to be spent Leichhardt and/or Campbelltown to rebuild them to modern accepted standards if that is to ever change. I just cannot see one home ground being practical in the next 5-10 years. With ANZ revamp not going ahead it’s probably going to stay the way it is, multiple home grounds for a very long time.

VLandys is pushing for 100s of millions for knock down and rebuilds for up to 4 stadiums.

Gladys will not wear that for a bit extra you do ANZ..

Well her govt entered an agreement with the NRL to spend that amount. I'd be backing VLandys on that fight.
A 20k stadium as Homebush would suit 3 clubs, I wonder it that's a possibility.

That is the best idea I've heard - not sure on space out their for another stadium but def a great idea. Only 2 issues I see is that Bankwest is only 15 minutes away from Olympic park so seems wierd to have 2 top stadiums so close but it always has seemed weird I guess and the other being is their somewhere to put it in the complex

However i really think thats a brilliant idea in what is meant to be a precinct.

Supporters should really wake up .. your tax dollars built a purpose built stadium only kms away from the Olympic precinct a great place to watch footy... instead of being so pedantic and critical we should be grateful such a great facility is available .
Honestly words fail sometimes at the garbage that is trotted out as to why god forbid our club should not use this facility! You all paid for It ....

I agree that we should be using Bankwest now that Homebush isn't get changed. But if they are building 3 to 4 stadiums in Sydney then I think Homebush should get a run as it will service 3 teams. Big games for those club could also be easily moved to ANZ if a huge crowd is expected.

Do we really think in these economic times that 4 stadiums are going to be built .. I wish they would be .
I am a realist there is a fantastic new stadium in Sydney designed for our game ! Why not use it ...

Yes, I think VLandys will get 3 stadiums built.

You want to know why -

It's Parras home ground and always will be.

Has their Leagues club next door.

We prefer other choices.

We don't like it.

Stop trying to force it down our necks. You like it, good, doesn't mean we have to agree.

Give a valid reason without emotive thinking .. there is none !

I gave you a few. Other people do not have to agree with you.

You do know that don't you.

Every five seconds you are on here - Bankwest!, Bankwest!, Bankwest!

We have not got dementia - we have taken your thoughts on board.

I have put forward in the last few days why not ANZ .. but that is not good enough also !
The only agenda I have is a place our club can call home and a place where our supporter base gets value for money in a modern and central hub that is assessable to all our supporters in the Sydney basin !
I do not have got an attachment to these outdated suburban grounds even though spending 20 yrs attending one !
This has gone on long enough our club needs a home ...

We have three at the moment

Leichhardt, Campbelltown and Parramattas home.

I'm at least happy with two of them, I'll be happy with three when we switch back to ANZ.

Why would you want to be at a stadium with 60000 empty seats?

It’s called growing the game. I’d rather be trying to fill an 50,000 to 80,000 seat stadium rather than a 20,000-30,000 seat stadium. Why? Because if it’s a 20,0000-30,000 seat stadium that’s what you are limited, zero growth. People need to stop looking at the past or even the present. Look to the future 10-20 years and what it should be. 20K stadiums, that’ll do me, the game is heading backwards as far as crowds attendance at the game is concerned, if that is our choice.

Seriously? I think you are underselling us here, I don't think ANZ is big enough, I think we need to build the 1st 200k stadium and try and fill that.

You want our aim to be filling an 80000 seat stadium when we don't even average a quarter of that. How about we fill the 30000 seat one regularly and then look to the 80000 venue?

It also does not give us zero growth at Bankwest, we have an average of 17k, lets fill those 13k other seats. That would be growth, if we hit that 30k we could always then use the 80k stadium if we need it for certain games.

You guys have absolutely no vision. You are stuck in the now and the past. If clubs are to survive they need big member numbers, and consequently grounds to hold them. If we keep in this small no growth track we will eventually wither and die.

No vision lol, you want to play in an inappropriate stadium because the other option is built on the same site as parra stadium. Your vision is to provided a worse experience because of a grudge.

I'll leave it to cochise to correct you on a couple of things

JD JD settle down have you been to BankWest ? There are no club markings on game day for any other club that is not playing . Parra put up reusable signs on differing standards then remove them a bit like the Burrow !
Actually the ground looks like a permanent Tigers stadium as the colours of BankWest which is everywhere are the same as the tigers (orange) go figure!

Whoever said LO/CSS for the out of town opposition home games and ANZ/BankWest for the Sydney opposition home games I think has it right with the grounds in their current state and configurations. I think this maximises the revenue for the club and minimises any losses.

100 of millions of $$ need to be spent Leichhardt and/or Campbelltown to rebuild them to modern accepted standards if that is to ever change. I just cannot see one home ground being practical in the next 5-10 years. With ANZ revamp not going ahead it’s probably going to stay the way it is, multiple home grounds for a very long time.

VLandys is pushing for 100s of millions for knock down and rebuilds for up to 4 stadiums.

Gladys will not wear that for a bit extra you do ANZ..

Well her govt entered an agreement with the NRL to spend that amount. I'd be backing VLandys on that fight.
A 20k stadium as Homebush would suit 3 clubs, I wonder it that's a possibility.

That is the best idea I've heard - not sure on space out their for another stadium but def a great idea. Only 2 issues I see is that Bankwest is only 15 minutes away from Olympic park so seems wierd to have 2 top stadiums so close but it always has seemed weird I guess and the other being is their somewhere to put it in the complex

However i really think thats a brilliant idea in what is meant to be a precinct.

Supporters should really wake up .. your tax dollars built a purpose built stadium only kms away from the Olympic precinct a great place to watch footy... instead of being so pedantic and critical we should be grateful such a great facility is available .
Honestly words fail sometimes at the garbage that is trotted out as to why god forbid our club should not use this facility! You all paid for It ....

You want to know why -

It's Parras home ground and always will be.

Has their Leagues club next door.

We prefer other choices.

We don't like it.

Stop trying to force it down our necks. You like it, good, doesn't mean we have to agree.

Just rubbish !

The response I expected - glad you did not disappoint.

Give a valid reason without emotive thinking .. there is none !

I gave you a few. Other people do not have to agree with you.

You do know that don't you.

Every five seconds you are on here - Bankwest!, Bankwest!, Bankwest!

We have not got dementia - we have taken your thoughts on board.

I have put forward in the last few days why not ANZ .. but that is not good enough also !
The only agenda I have is a place our club can call home and a place where our supporter base gets value for money in a modern and central hub that is assessable to all our supporters in the Sydney basin !

This has gone on long enough our club needs a home ...

We have three at the moment

Leichhardt, Campbelltown and Parramattas home.

I'm at least happy with two of them, I'll be happy with three when we switch back to ANZ.

Why would you want to be at a stadium with 60000 empty seats?

It’s called growing the game. I’d rather be trying to fill an 50,000 to 80,000 seat stadium rather than a 20,000-30,000 seat stadium. Why? Because if it’s a 20,0000-30,000 seat stadium that’s what you are limited, zero growth. People need to stop looking at the past or even the present. Look to the future 10-20 years and what it should be. 20K stadiums, that’ll do me, the game is heading backwards as far as crowds attendance at the game is concerned, if that is our choice.

Seriously? I think you are underselling us here, I don't think ANZ is big enough, I think we need to build the 1st 200k stadium and try and fill that.

You want our aim to be filling an 80000 seat stadium when we don't even average a quarter of that. How about we fill the 30000 seat one regularly and then look to the 80000 venue?

It also does not give us zero growth at Bankwest, we have an average of 17k, lets fill those 13k other seats. That would be growth, if we hit that 30k we could always then use the 80k stadium if we need it for certain games.

You guys have absolutely no vision. You are stuck in the now and the past. If clubs are to survive they need big member numbers, and consequently grounds to hold them. If we keep in this small no growth track we will eventually wither and die.

No vision lol, you want to play in an inappropriate stadium because the other option is built on the same site as parra stadium. Your vision is to provided a worse experience because of a grudge.

I don’t have any grudge, I don’t know where you got that from. I’m just tired of poor grounds with lack of facilities for members and sponsors. It’s time to move forward not back to the last century. There is an opportunity here, let’s not waste it.

VLandys is pushing for 100s of millions for knock down and rebuilds for up to 4 stadiums.

Gladys will not wear that for a bit extra you do ANZ..

Well her govt entered an agreement with the NRL to spend that amount. I'd be backing VLandys on that fight.
A 20k stadium as Homebush would suit 3 clubs, I wonder it that's a possibility.

That is the best idea I've heard - not sure on space out their for another stadium but def a great idea. Only 2 issues I see is that Bankwest is only 15 minutes away from Olympic park so seems wierd to have 2 top stadiums so close but it always has seemed weird I guess and the other being is their somewhere to put it in the complex

However i really think thats a brilliant idea in what is meant to be a precinct.

Supporters should really wake up .. your tax dollars built a purpose built stadium only kms away from the Olympic precinct a great place to watch footy... instead of being so pedantic and critical we should be grateful such a great facility is available .
Honestly words fail sometimes at the garbage that is trotted out as to why god forbid our club should not use this facility! You all paid for It ....

You want to know why -

It's Parras home ground and always will be.

Has their Leagues club next door.

We prefer other choices.

We don't like it.

Stop trying to force it down our necks. You like it, good, doesn't mean we have to agree.

Just rubbish !

The response I expected - glad you did not disappoint.

Give a valid reason without emotive thinking .. there is none !

I gave you a few. Other people do not have to agree with you.

You do know that don't you.

Every five seconds you are on here - Bankwest!, Bankwest!, Bankwest!

We have not got dementia - we have taken your thoughts on board.

I have put forward in the last few days why not ANZ .. but that is not good enough also !
The only agenda I have is a place our club can call home and a place where our supporter base gets value for money in a modern and central hub that is assessable to all our supporters in the Sydney basin !
I do not have got an attachment to these outdated suburban grounds even though spending 20 yrs attending one !
This has gone on long enough our club needs a home ...

Whoever said LO/CSS for the out of town opposition home games and ANZ/BankWest for the Sydney opposition home games I think has it right with the grounds in their current state and configurations. I think this maximises the revenue for the club and minimises any losses.

We have three at the moment

Leichhardt, Campbelltown and Parramattas home.

I'm at least happy with two of them, I'll be happy with three when we switch back to ANZ.

Why would you want to be at a stadium with 60000 empty seats?

It’s called growing the game. I’d rather be trying to fill an 50,000 to 80,000 seat stadium rather than a 20,000-30,000 seat stadium. Why? Because if it’s a 20,0000-30,000 seat stadium that’s what you are limited, zero growth. People need to stop looking at the past or even the present. Look to the future 10-20 years and what it should be. 20K stadiums, that’ll do me, the game is heading backwards as far as crowds attendance at the game is concerned, if that is our choice.

Seriously? I think you are underselling us here, I don't think ANZ is big enough, I think we need to build the 1st 200k stadium and try and fill that.

You want our aim to be filling an 80000 seat stadium when we don't even average a quarter of that. How about we fill the 30000 seat one regularly and then look to the 80000 venue?

It also does not give us zero growth at Bankwest, we have an average of 17k, lets fill those 13k other seats. That would be growth, if we hit that 30k we could always then use the 80k stadium if we need it for certain games.

You guys have absolutely no vision. You are stuck in the now and the past. If clubs are to survive they need big member numbers, and consequently grounds to hold them. If we keep in this small no growth track we will eventually wither and die.

Can you see any clubs reaching 50 k memberships in the next 20 years Mike ??

Why not? Given the right facilities its possible, AFL memberships are through the roof since they went to stadiums.
If you wanted a LO ticketed membership atm you'll get a seat on the hill. That's not gonna attract a lot of people.

Yes absolutely, it becomes a necessity to survive. If we don’t Rugby League is dead in the water.

Possibly if we hadn't had COVID , but NRL memberships aren't a priority for many at the moment , and probably won't be for the next 3-5 years

If you wanted a LO ticketed membership atm you'll get a seat on the hill. That's not gonna attract a lot of people.

But the top AFL and Top NRL memberships are about a third of the Price

Plus watching AFL on TV is crap compared to the real deal

And in they have a draft as well .....yeah ...nah NRL will never reach those levels

Whoever said LO/CSS for the out of town opposition home games and ANZ/BankWest for the Sydney opposition home games I think has it right with the grounds in their current state and configurations. I think this maximises the revenue for the club and minimises any losses.

100 of millions of $$ need to be spent Leichhardt and/or Campbelltown to rebuild them to modern accepted standards if that is to ever change. I just cannot see one home ground being practical in the next 5-10 years. With ANZ revamp not going ahead it’s probably going to stay the way it is, multiple home grounds for a very long time.

VLandys is pushing for 100s of millions for knock down and rebuilds for up to 4 stadiums.

Gladys will not wear that for a bit extra you do ANZ..

Well her govt entered an agreement with the NRL to spend that amount. I'd be backing VLandys on that fight.
A 20k stadium as Homebush would suit 3 clubs, I wonder it that's a possibility.

That is the best idea I've heard - not sure on space out their for another stadium but def a great idea. Only 2 issues I see is that Bankwest is only 15 minutes away from Olympic park so seems wierd to have 2 top stadiums so close but it always has seemed weird I guess and the other being is their somewhere to put it in the complex

However i really think thats a brilliant idea in what is meant to be a precinct.

Supporters should really wake up .. your tax dollars built a purpose built stadium only kms away from the Olympic precinct a great place to watch footy... instead of being so pedantic and critical we should be grateful such a great facility is available .
Honestly words fail sometimes at the garbage that is trotted out as to why god forbid our club should not use this facility! You all paid for It ....

You want to know why -

It's Parras home ground and always will be.

Has their Leagues club next door.

We prefer other choices.

We don't like it.

Stop trying to force it down our necks. You like it, good, doesn't mean we have to agree.

Just rubbish !

We have three at the moment

Leichhardt, Campbelltown and Parramattas home.

I'm at least happy with two of them, I'll be happy with three when we switch back to ANZ.

Why would you want to be at a stadium with 60000 empty seats?

It’s called growing the game. I’d rather be trying to fill an 50,000 to 80,000 seat stadium rather than a 20,000-30,000 seat stadium. Why? Because if it’s a 20,0000-30,000 seat stadium that’s what you are limited, zero growth. People need to stop looking at the past or even the present. Look to the future 10-20 years and what it should be. 20K stadiums, that’ll do me, the game is heading backwards as far as crowds attendance at the game is concerned, if that is our choice.

Seriously? I think you are underselling us here, I don't think ANZ is big enough, I think we need to build the 1st 200k stadium and try and fill that.

You want our aim to be filling an 80000 seat stadium when we don't even average a quarter of that. How about we fill the 30000 seat one regularly and then look to the 80000 venue?

It also does not give us zero growth at Bankwest, we have an average of 17k, lets fill those 13k other seats. That would be growth, if we hit that 30k we could always then use the 80k stadium if we need it for certain games.

You guys have absolutely no vision. You are stuck in the now and the past. If clubs are to survive they need big member numbers, and consequently grounds to hold them. If we keep in this small no growth track we will eventually wither and die.

Can you see any clubs reaching 50 k memberships in the next 20 years Mike ??

Yes absolutely, it becomes a necessity to survive. If we don’t Rugby League is dead in the water.

Possibly if we hadn't had COVID , but NRL memberships aren't a priority for many at the moment , and probably won't be for the next 3-5 years

Yes but we need to look beyond the next 3-5 years. That’s like election thinking, only short term. We need to look beyond and develop the infrastructure for the next 10-30 yrs. we need facilities that modern youth and sponsors actually want to go to. We need large membership numbers to survive well into the future. To attract those numbers we need facilities to match. If we are just going to build what we did last century then Rugby League will fade away.

The only obstacle there is price. If we are 3 times more expensive than other options then we gotta address that.

Even the NRL promoted Bankwest as the Eels new stadium. I haven't been there myself, it looks an amazing stadium on the tv, but how can it be our home if it belongs to the Eels?

I know some stadiums are shared, ANZ for example, and that works fine. But when for Bankwest they talked about naming the stands after famous Eels players and whatnot, and talking about the Eels new stadium, well that's not sharing. I hate what Parra have become in recent years, I certainly do not want to be doing them any favours. I believe we could share with them, but I don't want to be a guest in their stadium.

JD JD settle down have you been to BankWest ? There are no club markings on game day for any other club that is not playing . Parra put up reusable signs on differing standards then remove them a bit like the Burrow !
Actually the ground looks like a permanent Tigers stadium as the colours of BankWest which is everywhere are the same as the tigers (orange) go figure!

I'm calm buddy, sorry if I sounded like I wasn't. Thanks Snake, no I haven't been there, I don't live in Sydney, and family commitments have made it next to impossible for me to get up to Sydney for the footy these past few years.

I'm glad the Parra reusable signs aren't up for the games other teams play there. That wouldn't be fair at all, and I hope other teams do their own version of the reusable signs.

My only experience with Bankwest, is through the television, and how it was showcased last year as this awesome new stadium, in Parramatta, which the Eels, Wests Tigers and Bulldogs (I think it was) are playing some home games there. I got the impression that Parramatta definitely claimed it as their own. I guess it is, technically though jointly.

Perhaps when we have some success there, it will seem more like ours as well?

We are not a guest in their stadium, it is a multi tenant stadium, the stands are not named after former Parra players. The stadium does not belong to the Eels. as I have pointed out it is owned by the NSW government, it is a public owned stadium built for multiple tenanats, including us.

VLandys is pushing for 100s of millions for knock down and rebuilds for up to 4 stadiums.

Gladys will not wear that for a bit extra you do ANZ..

Well her govt entered an agreement with the NRL to spend that amount. I'd be backing VLandys on that fight.
A 20k stadium as Homebush would suit 3 clubs, I wonder it that's a possibility.

That is the best idea I've heard - not sure on space out their for another stadium but def a great idea. Only 2 issues I see is that Bankwest is only 15 minutes away from Olympic park so seems wierd to have 2 top stadiums so close but it always has seemed weird I guess and the other being is their somewhere to put it in the complex

However i really think thats a brilliant idea in what is meant to be a precinct.

Supporters should really wake up .. your tax dollars built a purpose built stadium only kms away from the Olympic precinct a great place to watch footy... instead of being so pedantic and critical we should be grateful such a great facility is available .
Honestly words fail sometimes at the garbage that is trotted out as to why god forbid our club should not use this facility! You all paid for It ....

You want to know why -

It's Parras home ground and always will be.

Has their Leagues club next door.

We prefer other choices.

We don't like it.

Stop trying to force it down our necks. You like it, good, doesn't mean we have to agree.

Just rubbish !

Whoever said LO/CSS for the out of town opposition home games and ANZ/BankWest for the Sydney opposition home games I think has it right with the grounds in their current state and configurations. I think this maximises the revenue for the club and minimises any losses.

The response I expected - glad you did not disappoint.

Give a valid reason without emotive thinking .. there is none !

I gave you a few. Other people do not have to agree with you.

You do know that don't you.

Every five seconds you are on here - Bankwest!, Bankwest!, Bankwest!

We have not got dementia - we have taken your thoughts on board.

I have put forward in the last few days why not ANZ .. but that is not good enough also !
The only agenda I have is a place our club can call home and a place where our supporter base gets value for money in a modern and central hub that is assessable to all our supporters in the Sydney basin !
I do not have got an attachment to these outdated suburban grounds even though spending 20 yrs attending one !
This has gone on long enough our club needs a home ...

We have three at the moment

Leichhardt, Campbelltown and Parramattas home.

I'm at least happy with two of them, I'll be happy with three when we switch back to ANZ.

Why would you want to be at a stadium with 60000 empty seats?

It’s called growing the game. I’d rather be trying to fill an 50,000 to 80,000 seat stadium rather than a 20,000-30,000 seat stadium. Why? Because if it’s a 20,0000-30,000 seat stadium that’s what you are limited, zero growth. People need to stop looking at the past or even the present. Look to the future 10-20 years and what it should be. 20K stadiums, that’ll do me, the game is heading backwards as far as crowds attendance at the game is concerned, if that is our choice.

Seriously? I think you are underselling us here, I don't think ANZ is big enough, I think we need to build the 1st 200k stadium and try and fill that.

You want our aim to be filling an 80000 seat stadium when we don't even average a quarter of that. How about we fill the 30000 seat one regularly and then look to the 80000 venue?

It also does not give us zero growth at Bankwest, we have an average of 17k, lets fill those 13k other seats. That would be growth, if we hit that 30k we could always then use the 80k stadium if we need it for certain games.

You guys have absolutely no vision. You are stuck in the now and the past. If clubs are to survive they need big member numbers, and consequently grounds to hold them. If we keep in this small no growth track we will eventually wither and die.

No vision lol, you want to play in an inappropriate stadium because the other option is built on the same site as parra stadium. Your vision is to provided a worse experience because of a grudge.

I don’t have any grudge, I don’t know where you got that from. I’m just tired of poor grounds with lack of facilities for members and sponsors. It’s time to move forward not back to the last century. There is an opportunity here, let’s not waste it.

But you are suggesting we play at ANZ which is a poor ground with a lack of appropriate facilities for our needs.

Even the NRL promoted Bankwest as the Eels new stadium. I haven't been there myself, it looks an amazing stadium on the tv, but how can it be our home if it belongs to the Eels?

I know some stadiums are shared, ANZ for example, and that works fine. But when for Bankwest they talked about naming the stands after famous Eels players and whatnot, and talking about the Eels new stadium, well that's not sharing. I hate what Parra have become in recent years, I certainly do not want to be doing them any favours. I believe we could share with them, but I don't want to be a guest in their stadium.

We are not a guest in their stadium, it is a multi tenant stadium, the stands are not named after former Parra players. The stadium does not belong to the Eels. as I have pointed out it is owned by the NSW government, it is a public owned stadium built for multiple tenanats, including us.

That is the spin put on it. But if I have to travel to Parramatta CBD.via Parramatta Rd or get off at Parramatta Station, I'm in Mitch Moses and. Ryan Matterson territory.
