Something like this on the Northern Hill at Leichhardt would be insane and add another dimension to the ground.
I think some fossils would come to life and kill if you touched the main hill !! :laughing:
@Balmain Bug said:Leichhardt is very dated. I am not so sure the council would knock back a Northern grandstand as it just barely would back onto Rozelle Psych Hospital and nothing else. If you look at an aerial Google map, there would be minimal if any environmental effects except for the removal of those trees. The Land and Environment Court would pass it I reckon.
It is too much an important ground to the WT to abandon or not to push hard to develop. WT need to develop a working party to ensure the ongoing development of Leichhardt Oval and strategically plan how such developments can be executed.
If at the end of the day, the council can make a quid out of it I am sure it will go a long way to helping a deal come thru. If 10% of profits can be promised to the Greens for example ?? Something !!! Name the grandstand after Harry T and award them the contract to build it. Planning needs to start now otherwise, sadly, the Old Girl's days are well and truly numbered as an NRL venue.

What about the revamped show ground arena at Homebush. I believe it is being redeveloped with the field being for AFL but having sat there at the easter show the view wouldn't be too bad for NRL compared to the much larger ANZ stadium next door. The venue has access to the same train, bus facilities, car parking as ANZ but provides a closer view for the fans. Not sure what the new capacity will be though. If it was built around a rectangle NRL field that would have been ideal and possibly a compromise home ground- just a thought.

Used to go to Bulldogs games there. It's an irregular shape. It's crap.

Fair enough, what about doing up Concord then currently it holds as many people as Leichhardt and Campbelltown and is sort of central to both camps??
