Not myself personally, but it'd be good theatre

Spot on.
a lot of items required for fit out in regards to prices have gone up massively including the roof fitting. Though I wouldn’t be surprised the developer is trying to get out of paying for all of it, so they can get maximum $ out of it. But if they break contract, which they could be already they’ll be up for even more $$$. though with quest built, they got paid some good $$$ plus all the apartments on club apparently have been sold.
if the refinancer is a Chinese company, they could be in a rough spot with $$, as a heap of building companies and other associated finance companies in china have been going belly up

Does this delay really affect our aim for increased capacity at our ground ?
A little yeh. At the moment the Upper PB stand cannot be accessed as it needs to be through then club. I'm also not sure how much of the interface between the club and ground in the NE corner can be opened up before the club works is done.

Yeah on some illustrations I saw - there was some tiered standing areas - in front of the old club - where many of us used to stand .
Wondering if we might get an extra thousand or two in somewhere there ?

On the southern side?

wonder if this is still in the planning
The tiered steps / landing is completed.
Also remember that there is temporary scaffolding / room set up in the Nth West Corner for the Chairman's lounge. I assume that would account for quite a few supporters.

The developer at the centre of the multimillion-dollar refurbishment of the Sharks’ leagues club says they are not responsible for its indefinite shutdown.
Developer Novm is moving ahead with the opening of the surrounding areas of the billion dollar Woolooware Bay Town Centre development.
However, there is no date set now for the reopening of Cronulla’s leagues club which surrounds its home ground and continues to be a financial drain on the NRL club.
The leagues club is due to be redeveloped, not rebuilt, but remains untouched despite a mini-city being built around it.
Novm chief executive and executive director Adrian Liaw remained hopeful the club could re-open at some point next year.
“Although we are not responsible for the refurbishment of the club, we have been working closely with the club to ensure the club can re-open next year,” Liaw said.
“This includes allowing certain works to commence such as replacement of the club’s roof whilst our works are being carried out.
“Like every other construction project in the country, both we and the club have had to navigate many unforeseen challenges such as the impacts of weather, covid, inflation and interest rates on supply chain and costs.”
The club closed its doors in December, 2019 and was then projected to re-open in February last year.
Even as early as this year there were hopes the club would re-open in 2023, but now there is no set timetable.
Since the club shut down, building costs have blown out by about $30 million while the Sharks continue to bleed financially.
They are in for at least 12 months of more pain with their home ground to again be a construction site next season.
Crowds and corporate facilities are having major impacts on Cronulla’s bottom line.
Despite the club falling massively behind, the rest of the billion dollar Woolooware Bay Town Centre development is thriving.
The shopping centre will open on November 22 while the 71-key Quest hotel, which the NRL purchased for $21.85 million earlier this year, is tracking well.
“We can report that the project’s shopping centre Bay Central Woolooware is set to open in late November, with the residential apartments and the Quest Hotel completing before the end of the year,” Liaw said.
Cronulla are expected to hold a members information night next month where they hope to have more clarity on the delays.

I know there was a lot of rain last year but this year has been very, very dry.

Sounds like excuses and poor planning from the Development company. Their delays to deliver Woolloware Bay has meant delays to us being able to get in and do the Leagues club.
I’m assuming (hoping) once it’s open they can then focus on the Leagues club.
