Yeah agree with all of that, especially the last bit.At this stage, I agree. However I think the NRL like the suburban ground element, so there is more incentive there than with the current government.
The other thing is there are times of growth and times of savings. I work in government so I can definitely say that right now is a time of massive penny-pinching. If everything is being cut down, sports grounds are right off the agenda. Doesn't mean it may never happen. If in 5 years or so we can put together some cash internally, then potentially put a proposal together where we go thirds with the NRL and the government, who knows?
The best way to put it on our agenda is for the fine folk in the cook voting area to kick out the liberals so they pay more attention to the area. It's too safe a seat for either party to give a **** about.
I just get the feeling that governments going forward will want to see more clubs utilise the bigger grounds rather than spend cash on suburban grounds. I really hope not, the atmosphere at those grounds stinks unless you're getting big crowds.
