Premier backs renewal of suburban NRL grounds

[F.O.S 0]

Why couldn't they upgrade LO in the style of Adelaide Cricket Ground/ Country Bank Stadium? Leave the hill and wrap new stands/corporate boxes around the rest.

Because of a Greens controlled council.

With regard to LO and the Keith Barnes Stand - don't think you would be allowed to join it with the LR Stand as it is Heritage listed.

I'm in favor of upgrading Leichhardt - **maybe they could pull the KB stand down and put it together exactly at Birchgrove Oval.** Then knock down the LR Stand and build a new stand in it's place that includes both ends of the ground. New toilet facilities and food areas - laughing.

There is plenty of parking available (never had a problem, even with 20k+) just not next to your seat.

They relocated some of the old stands from theSCG to North Sydney oval, but that was before the rise of the Greens and NIMBY's.

Who’s going to use this new stadium. Wests Tigers for 4 games and community or semi professional for the rest? Any other professional clubs?

7 games, 1 at Tammworth and community use for whatever.

Wests Tamworth Tigers. The New England district has always been a strong Tiger area.

Is that enough for the government to spend the money knocking down and rebuilding. I thought there was mention of multi use. Community use doesn’t need a big stand.

Well if they spend just as much on Brookvale and Penrith - it is still only for 7 games and 1 regional.
What is the difference.

They need to create a new stadium, but work out an element or two that gives Leichhardt (and cambo) its heart and incorporate it into the new stadium. Even if it's to the detriment of the capacity.

Seats 1 mtr from the line, the hill, homes overlooking the field, temporary mr whippy vans, stainless steel urinals?

Stadium Australia is a metaphor for the Wests Tigers

It would have been a great idea 50 years ago when it was a league heartland but not now with the greenies and nimby's taking over

Soap at Leichhardt would be an upgrade

From Rothfields write-up

SHOOSH

The State Government has rejected moves for a new boutique stadium at Liverpool for the Canterbury Bulldogs and Wests Tigers.

Instead the money will go towards Brookvale and Penrith. Leichhardt Oval and Shark Park will also get funding to improve facilities.

Plus Stadium Australia will get a retractable roof.

They should have pushed ahead with the reconfiguration of stadium Australia originally planned

What a farce - Brookvale and Penrih are getting upgrades. Leichhardt and Shark park which is privately owned but just so happens to be where the happy clapper watches football get funding to improve facilities - what does that mean? maybe the hot dog guy gets a permanent stall and free gumboots to anyone game enough to go to the Glen Morrison Toilet Block.

Maybe soap at the LO toilets too.

Rothfield replied to a tweet about when an announcement would happen, said before Christmas.

Good news hopefully more games at LO. They probably update food and bars and stuff
