Official Shark Park & Woolooware Bay Development

Yeah I reckon we'd be more than happy with that.

Yeah for sure. Hell the NRL could even front an interest free loan to the club that we could pay back over time with our profits.

 

[Mr Ryan]

Buying and investing in are two different outcomes though. I can see them fronting some money as a carrot to lure government into some spending.

Well said. Too many people get bogged down in the wording.

Our ground is ****. We know it, other fans know it, the NRL knows it.

Some people just can’t get their head around that it’s in everyone’s interests that the ground isnt ****.

PVL wouldn’t be doing his job if he wasn’t looking at all options. What we get out of it - who knows - but it’s extremely positive that he was there yesterday.

That's around 5% return p.a. PVL said he wants more than that on investments in that clip.

Growth in people playing the game and it would support community. The $ invested would have a social influence and impact (sharks and NRL Corporate Social Responsibility)

 

[Matty C of the Shire]

In this case, sharks and PVL would be looking at:
Economic Responsibility: Backing financial decisions with a commitment to do good, ensuring sustainable, long-term growth rather than prioritizing profit alone. [1, 2]

 

[Capital_Shark]

Hard to say really. Can't see the return the NRL would get on spending huge coin upgrading

Then again, PVL would probably have more chance getting government funding.

He did go on to say that returns didn’t necessarily have to be monetary. Sounded very interested in creating a better experience for fans, making going to the football a solid option among many other entertainment options available. I guess more people going to the footy would be in some way a return for the NRL.

Looking at the deck yesterday, I can't see it being "construction finished by Grand Final day".

 

[buzz67]

We will make the grand final and the club wont be open yet and it will be the biggest travesty in the history of grand finals and leagues clubs.

Have they said how much is left on the overall project?
Any percentage given or anything?

Not that I've heard.

Expect a December opening. If it opens before then, then it's a bonus.

Electrical leads everywhere, bet they have to sh1t in portaloos too. Shut the site down.

I'm prepared for next year at this rate. But plenty of other slower projects around. Look at the Flour bakery opening in Cronulla, that must be going on for about 4 months just for one shop.
