This is what makes sense to me. Outside of pokies (and I hate those) I don't know how the club could possibly make the money. It's just a bit out of the way.

Only real worry is that the rest of the development is going to compete with the club.
They mention they'll avoid it somehow. I don't really see how.
The deck will be good for a Sunday session you'd think.

If restaurants and bars are there they'll be competing against the Leagues club for patrons, I guess.

Yeah and cause they have nothing to do with the Sharks now, there ultimately isn't much you can do but try and compete. At least if we were the landlord we would get the rent!

That interview with Dino pointed out that the original agreement would have seen it be close to a decade before we saw any profit on retail space. There may not have been a club by then.
Yeah ok. Fair enough hopefully sharks get their rent at least??

No reason why that money can’t be reinvested into better commercials elsewhere, who set the rules that the only business a football club can run is a bistro with pokies. Buy a subway franchise and stick it in the development, or better yet a nice kitted out strength and conditioning gym. Etc
Nope Sharks will only own the football side of things, none of the external restaurants/bars/shops/apartments etc

Two years?? What are we building? The Taj Mahal?

Considering it can take around 8-12 months to build a house, with easy access and less complex design, 2 years is reasonable.

2 years would be reasonable for the whole thing. Not sure how much will impact on the ground itself though. Also, if the Leagues Club is not operational that might change the equation for using the ground to its best capability.

Taj Mahal took over 20 years to build. 2 years seems reasonable.
Besides that’s the whole construction, that wouldn’t be the time they’d need to vacate. Maybe just year of that, if that to be honest

I don't know. It would be good to take a game not against them there and beat their home crowds.

I agree, we’re going to get bad crowds regardless, at least it would be good conditions for the players, and lots of people are keen to see the new stadium at least once. I’d try and organise all our games as double headers with Tigers or Roosters.
In the past they have said it would not be every game of the season that has to move, just while particular work is happening on the club/stand (with most work in the off season). But I guess reality may have hit there
