Panthers Stadium to cost $600 million
Article Peter Fitzsimons --Part thereof
It was about the new stadium that the government is still committed to building for them with taxpayer dollars. I wrote “something like $300 million of our dosh is going to give them a new stadium.”
And herein lies the error.
For after it I was contacted on the QT by a once very senior figure in the NSW government, who pointed out with strong reasoning that the actual figure is likely to be more to the order of $600m to $650m!
Yes, you read that right, and I’m about to back it up. But can we gaze in horror for a moment at the situation? Of all the clubs in all the NRL, right now it is team backed by the rich Penrith Panthers Pokie Palace that looks to be getting as much public money as the original rebuild of the SFS was projected to cost in the first place!
