So if everyones gunner have a COE then we lose any advantage we might have had
and are back to where we are now>?

Fantastic

I can tell you this Ink. Fremantle in the AFL have what is regarded as the best COE in Australia by far apparently. Theyre still shit though.
There's no footy smarts being built at Concord, we gotta provide that.

Well not exactly. Before we were well behind, at least now we’ll be on an equal footing in terms of facilities.

Were the facilities a major problem?

Did you see the old facilities?

A rusty old 20kg plate isnt as good as a shiny new one

You don't think the old facilities were a problem?

Part of the problem, but we did do well for a few years there...so not so much no

Would definitely have been a hinderance to signing player.

Not personally, pictures though.
At the end of the day we are lacking in the matters of soft science over weight/recovery rooms.
Is it possible that upgraded facilities will not yield results as hoped?

So is it something we should be excited about?

Having something at that level and branded Wests Tigers is definitely something to be excited about, something that helps us sign players is something to be excited, having something that can be used as a 1st step in building our identity is something to be excited about.

Will this solve all our problems? No, but it is something the club can be proud of.

 

[TigerTownSFS]

This is a step in the right direction. Next is building our own stadium. Some of these big talking Tigers/Wests fans who love being in the news can actually put some of their money up for a change and contribute to the club instead of just getting free publicity.

Who are these people that can afford to fund a stadium?

Triguboff ain't a leech like Elias or Blocker so it doesn't directly answer your question but he has literally made his billions off building.

Harry Trigaboff stadium at Leichhardt?

 

[gallagher]

Manly don't have great facilities. I think it's been a convenient excuse. Even Farah lobbed it up as a reason when he was playing.

Why would you own your own stadium? Do you have any idea how much it costs and how many tickets you need to sell?

How many clubs own their own stadium?

He has made billions off building.....buildings that provide a return. Stadia wont.

Possibly but colour me sceptical. Proof will be in the pudding.

This is my quandary.
