I think they are looking at making all stands movable to accommodate circular oval games and rectangle games

Since when, they canned the upgrade and that upgrade was supposed to make it a rectangular ground?

They have canned the demolish and D and C of the new stadium

Upgrades will still be happening including what i mentioned regarding the stand

Unless the side stands are being rebuilt it is lipstick on a pig.

Disagree… They shall not be doing that …
however Knocking down a stadium only 20 yrs old and building a brand new one was a complete waste of money

Then it is not an appropriate venue for NRL club games.

I love it.

The rake on the lower bowl is much too shallow.

Always had a good time there.

G'day @mike "always had a good time there"
But thats only due to the fact you've only ever been there once and that was the 2005 GF :hugging_face: :grin: Lol.

ANZ?
It's always been like that

Apparently they are going to make the ends movable as well, but I haven't seen that anywhere other than here.

I don't think that makes much of a difference anyway, the biggest problem is with the steepness of the lower bowl.

Is a retractable roof being planned?

But I did enjoy the 2005 grand final.

I think wests tigers hold there nerve ANZ will get an upgrade and we can move in and own it

Needs more than a minor upgrade.

it will get one if they want to keep hosting the GF

No it won't they already backed out of it. NRL doesn't want it done now, they want suburban stadiums.

NSW have GF for 25 years it will be played at an 80k seat stadium they will upgrade they have already decided to put up the big screen for women's wordl cup.

Lol, need the big screen as it is the only way to see the action, it needs a rebuild, not a new screen.

You can stay in the nose bleed area….

they will probably roll the stands on sides in for league and out for circular afl

@cochise still won’t be happy.

They do that now and it is rubbish, needs to be rebuilt to be rectangular.

think afl might want to play so.e games there and cricket so don't think they will do that.
curtains blocking out top stand level on game days

AFL left it, the original plan was for it to be rebuilt to be rectangular. Cricket doesn't play there either. Needs to be rebuilt and needs to be rectangular.

I just heard afl are looking to play some games at stadium Australia. I agree it woukd be good if it was permanent rectangle but think big bash might play some games there too in future

They both use the Show Grounds that was rebuilt for them because they complained ANZ was too big, they didn't want to play there then they should not have accomodations made for them.

The NRL should refuse to have any club games there if it is not rectangular.

From what you have stated @cochise re refusing to play NRL
there I agree :100:

This is another good article looking at our history from a fans perspective. If we are going all in on Campbelltown we should rename ourselves the Western Suburbs Tigers to really show our intent.

One really excellent advantage from Homebush staying as an oval shape is that a leg of World C'ship Solo Speedway may be able to be held there again in the future hopefully, rather than Melbourne getting it every year?

It's always been like that

Apparently they are going to make the ends movable as well, but I haven't seen that anywhere other than here.

I don't think that makes much of a difference anyway, the biggest problem is with the steepness of the lower bowl.

and blocking off the top tier for club games etc
