Yeah would be a lot more convenient but I'd much rather watch us play at shark park any day. As 2010 said its not our problem the nrl bit off more than they can chew

Agree and agree.

If Parra get an upgrade out of this, make them play all games at Allianz. Dragons and Tigers are living in the NRLs pockets, they can go there fulltime as well.

Then its a waiting game till Manly are locked out of Brooky and problem solved.

Why would Parra play at Allianz if Parra stadium is rebuilt into a 30k stadium?

 

[slide rule]

The Greenberg era begins with the most fugwitted move possible.

 

[Thresher]

The Club Statement didn't really state much

To reach the NRLs quota till they get their new toy

Nah this has John Grant 7 hour boozy lunch all over irt

I still cant for the life of me understand why anyone would consider moving club games to stadiums with 4-5 times the capacity, when teams arent filling suburban grounds.

A visual explanation using pics of a packed shark park, brookvale, leichardt etc vs a pic of a run of the mill crowd at anz would pretty much end any argument.

Id be happy to move a game or 2 away from home a season if the money was right. But its still a stupid idea

 

[Tiger Shark]

You just answered your own question. Money.

 

[Art Vandelay]

well, id want 500k straight up per game we moved.
make it sting

 

[HaroldBishop]

If we start by moving three games you can bet it won't end there, it will be the first step in getting us to move all of our games. We have to fight this.

I know another Sydney team in the A League has been pushed back but we need to pursue it...hard.

 

[HaroldBishop]

We also need to be aware of Mr Pizza man in all of this. He would obviously love us to move so the ground could then be developed into more apartments. What I'm saying is our Board needs to be very transparent with this.

As stated below the answer is easy: money.

What amazes me is that a team can get paid half a million dollars to play at an empty stadium and somehow everyone involved still makes money.

I wouldn't mind playing 1 or two games there, as long as we get a big filthy bribe from the NRL

Non-negotiable high ball figure, to play two out of town teams. Make it so that it is a loss making venture for the NRL. For 5 years only.

That's just it though, as HB said previously if we agree to playing 1 or 2 games there, next thing they'll want us to play 3 or 4 and then the whole season. We have to stand our ground and say no.

 

[djhabib]

Id be fine with 1 or 2 games at the sfs. Gives us another pub crawl.

 

[sharks2010]

Knowing us we will take the dragons and tigers home games there

Knowing us we will take the dragons and tigers home games there
