Home Ground situation needs to change

With this Consumption Tax V'Landys has mentioned don't be surprised if a couple of Bankwest type Stadiums are built in different parts of Sydney and with the new A League franchise starting up anything could happen

I really can't see the government having the political capital to do so. Their existing spend was slammed, let alone spending more. It will be refurbs rather than bankwests if anything and Brookvale will probably be first cab off the rank.

Leichhardt was included in that mix also. So we wouldn't be able to turn our back on that if the govt pumped more money in.

Reading between the lines with V'Landys background in racing I think this Consumption Tax has been there but no one from NRL new what to do about it he keeps saying buckets of cash he wouldn't be saying it if it wasn't true thats how the improvements were made to race tracks because he got the Consumption Tax up and running so that the betting Agency paid a tax to use the race fields to bet on it produces millions for Racing NSW

I saw it too mate. it's a tougher argument for the nrl as our revenue from gambling is indirect, most of our is tv rights. That's not the same for racing.

If he can, then fantastic. But the expected revenue of $100 mil over all sports is dwarfed by what they've just spent on ANZ, SFS and WSS alone.

If there is a WSS style stadium built in cambo, sure we would have to look at it seriously. But we cant be making decisions on what ifs.
