Mayer tweets about Government funding

[gallagher]

I was optimistic about Mayer but seeing this worries me. Having a sook about what other clubs are doing isnt helping our caus. But then again, doing nothing to improve our club fits in well with what the board is all about.

I am outraged he didn't mention Balmain, we are one club etc blah blah

 

[Eye_Of_Da_Tiger]

Get as much as we can out of them. The southwest is no longer a safe seat

Our borders I presume. Geographically we are one massive club.

But what would they be wanting funding for? all the other clubs got funding for their home grounds, so only makes sense he means C-town and sees it as a''massive area'' (second largest nursery in NSW btw) and if given the funding, would like C-town to be revamped so the club can have a more permanent presence in the area while maintaining the 4-4-4 split with maybe a view of increasing the amount of games there in the future depending on Leichhardt.

So if we turn our backs on the old Balmain heartlands, which lucky club will get to swoop on the very highly regarded nursery known as Holy Cross College? Quite possibly the best of them all. Do we just forget that area all together do we?
Your opinions are so biased its sad.
Lets get more seats at CSS so the disillusioned can make it seem as hollow as ANZ. Fairdinkum. And to compare crowd numbers at the two grounds based on one of our most turbulent seasons to date lacks intelligence. It's the same sh@t fight 13 years on.

When Campbelltown got $20m to upgrade around 2008, I remember the then Manly CEO stated something like, "I nearly choked on my corn flakes when I read that. They only play 3 games per year and we play 12 here…."

Just on the Brookvale promise, it has come from the federal government and Manly needs to find another $20m. They won't get it from the state government (Centralised Stadium policy) so it only leaves local government and Warringah Council has no chance.

Just a political stunt by Labor to make Tony spend more time in his electorate during the campaign.

It was only a $8 MIL upgrade for Campbelltown. Not $20MIL, new seats and corporate/media boxes.

How am i bias? no one is saying abandon the area completely. I was respectful to Leichhardt saying we should play there until its no longer suitable, which unless you are being bias you'd know its days are slowly drawing to an end. Even the most diehard Leichhardt lovers will admit that. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out. If and when that day comes, then what? why should C-town suffer? simple it shouldn't. You're the only one arguing a sh@t fight champ. I call you champ as i can't call you by your username as you've so bravely posted under Anonymous.

 

[happy_tiger]

Maybe if we didn't appear to be rabble most weeks both on and off the field ,that government might take us seriously

Add that to the whole Balmain v Wests scrap at board level and we are kidding ourselves

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Btw, what i was saying about them eventually basing themselves at C-town, it was my interpretation of Mayers tweet, plus previously when Humpty went public saying ideally, in a perfect world C-town would be re-developed. So before you get all whiney and claim im bias, just have a look at some of the things the club is saying. I'm not basing anything i say on anything the club hasn't said

 

[GNR4LIFE]

And one more thing, i don't see how if ever we ''abandoned'' the Balmain area, not that we ever would, i don't see how we'd lose Holy Cross when we have Keebra park over nearly 1000k's away proving you don't need to be in the area to have a foothold on a school full of juniors. Bad example mr guest man.

If they were going to base more home games at Campbelltown I would wait and see the crowd figures until we started spending heaps of money on redeveloping the stadium

A Leichardt remodel isn't feasible in any way ,shape or form and I think fans would prefer the old girl to stay as it is (apart from some minor facelifts )

Every chance you get you bring up the dying days of LO. Why shouldn't LO benefit from some funding for facility upgrades? Who says it has to go all to CSS? And please don't speak for all the die hard Leichhardt lovers, no one has asked you to speak on their behalf.

You can call me whatever you like by the way. I'm not fussed.

For the record, I'm from Minto. I enjoy both grounds. I attended my first ever game in 1979 at Leichhardt. My heart may lie with LO, but I don't have a dig at CSS or the Magpies every chance I get. And I wouldn't be alone in saying people need to unite as one fan base & be a little more considerate of the 'other' side.

I think your being a little too precious mr guest man. To say Leichhardt doesn't have long isn't ''inconsiderate'' at all, its pretty much common knowledge that the majority of people would agree with. I don't see why you have to come in like a pirate on a chandelier waving a sword trying to turn this into a CS vs LO argument. Find one sentence from me where i've been ''inconsiderate;; towards LO?

I think your being a little too precious mr guest man. To say Leichhardt doesn't have long isn't ''disrespectful'' at all, its pretty much common knowledge that the majority of people would agree with. I don't see why you have to come in like a pirate on a chandelier waving a sword trying to turn this into a CS vs LO argument. Find one sentence from me where i've ''disrespected'' LO?

I'm not trying to say the Anons right or anything, because I don't particularly agree with them, but I have noticed you bringing up Leichhardt vs C-town before. It's not as though this is the first thread this has happened. Perhaps the anon is just letting out frustrations from a prior incident in which LO vs CS was discussed?

If it isn't, whats the big deal? is it a crime to try and talk up C-town? seems people are offended by that. The point is, show me one sentence where i've been ''inconsiderate'' as mr guest man put it to LO? Saying that i think the club sees a growth area the size of a small city is where the future is isn't ''inconsiderate''. If it is, then you should harden up. And at the end of the day, never have i once said that the inner west should be ''abandoned''

Calm down ladies…

of course the club would look to develop infrastructure at C'town, it is common sense. Leichhardt needs too much work and zero space to do it in. It wouldnt even have enough room if they reclaimed the minimal car parking for a centre of excellence... Leichhardt is an island, no leagues club to host functions, make revenue, even as basic as hold a kids presentation function, in essence its entire investment into development is flicking a few bucks to some old school ties such as Holy Cross. Worst part is, it would cost more money to buy the real estate to bring it back to life in the modern era than to renovate.

To really be on par professionally, even in terms of development, we have to invest in infrastructure. World class facilities. If anyone thinks that only our pro/semi-pro teams will be the only beneficiaries think again, Schools tied to our system will get a crack at them too, junior development teams u16's getting a glimpes into the big leagues... this sort of opportunities, the appeal to others fosters the possibility for increased use of grounds, you all but set a vicious circle in motion with competent management.

I have been at a decent level sporting wise, been taken to camps at the old "State Sports Centre" at Homebush, the AIS, even taken to USA to tour Colleges, and as the level of competition rises, top notch facilities are the first and foremost marketing option tool at the scouts disposals.

Where is this going.... well I have a soft spot for the old girl, think the hill there is one of my favourite places to watch footy ever (despised wading into the bunker toilets knee deep), but it is only nostalgia keeping her on life support, she has no hope for a transplant. We all hope she clings to life for as long as she can, but she isnt honestly in any future plans... dont kid yourself.

Manly get govt money, Penrith get Govt money, Bulldogs get govt money, Dragons get govt money. What have we been doing? Massive area!

Seems to be a pretty big endorsement for Campbelltown by our CEO. Good to see,

And straight off the bat, you were assuming Mayer is endorsing Campbelltown specifically.
That's bias right there.

I've seen many threads where you in particular take subtle stabs at the Balmain factions.
People are sick of it.

Whose sick of it? why don't you put a name to your words you hero. Probably LaT.

I'll say this for the last time, its my INTERPRETATION. Do you know what that means? it means thats what i thought he meant or was talking about. Thats the beauty of somewhat cryptic status', like these, you might read it one way, i read it another, they are open to INTERPRETATION (see, there that word again) From what i can see my only crime is praising our CEO for imo endorsing C-town, and having audacity to say that theres a good chance down the line we'll most likely leave LO) Still yet to produce any comments where i've been ''inconsiderate'' to LO. Could you have a weaker, whinier argument?

This club would be one political boring black and white club lucky the tiger and balmain brought some colour and excitement….
