SCG Trust clearly wants to tear down the SFS - whats does this mean for us?

[The Brain]

A tiny stand at MS Marks and no other seats or elevation. They could knock down and re-build the SFS before they could get this place ready for NRL standard.

As for Henson, I love the place but I don't think it would meet NRL standards. Despite the fact that the shit hole Manly ground does.

we would be undefeated there ...players will love the cold showers

[Kingsgrove-Loiner]

This was all supposed to have been sorted out a few months ago when Baird got involved. I can't believe anyone is seriously considering spending a Billion dollars just to move the SFS 50 metres to the left.

If we move out to Homebush even temporarily, that'll do it for me - I won't go out there. There are no pubs for starters.

[Kingsgrove-Loiner]

You beauty ....Steak sandwiches and KB beer -and Yeeros on the way home -welcome to Henson Park

They sold the last KB about 4 years ago Brain. You can buy a t shirt at the ground to mark the occasion.

I was aware of that but they will bring it back.

Well, if they want to do that, the Trust can shove the $1500 gold card up their arse. I'm not forking out that much for one day of the test, a couple of hit and giggle t20s and the chance to sleep through shield games.

I hope so, we need a bit more choice - they've usually run out of Young Henry's by HT......

Why couldn't we just move across to the SCG while the construction is going on?

I have not watched league at a worse ground than the scg.

short term pain doesnt equal long term gain the bears also had short term pain in the 90s looking to secre their future and got chopped if we are struggling we will be in big trouble with survival despite what people here think representing the city and the east is not important to the nrl the money and the future in their estimations lie in the west i dont ever see the wests tigers folding they might rebrand and move permanently to the campbeltown area but they will never fold completely i think the teams on the chopping block will be canterbury and us and they have a much larger fanbase than we do politis needs to play his cards right here and not make threats that are detrimental to our future because permanently playing out of olympic park will be a death sentence for us

Would be a nightmare trying to schedule us and the swans for a winter season, and you know they wouldn't give an inch. they might not even want a full league season played there for the damage it would cause to the ground for the cricket season.

politis has stated we'd have to move to ANZ. I am sure he wouldn't want to give the SCG trust any revenue if they are going to kick us out for years.

If we did move to ANZ, I'm confident we'd come home again. If we shifted a lot of games to central coast though I could see us permanently splitting our games with Gosford

Henson Park would be the go, still close enough and large enough for our fans.

[Steakface]

What is far more urgent, is a redevelopment of Stadium Australia (ANZ).

It is easily the worst ground in the country to watch a game of Rugby League, Union or Soccer, and until they redevelop it properly so it's actually designed for rectangular field sports it'll always be so.

I despise going to games out there.

Love Henson Park as I live fairly close by and of late have gone to catch the rays of the sun on many an afternoon walk around the area. Unfortunately even though the ground could quite easily fit 30,000 in it, it is not up to NRL standard with barely any corporate facilities, out dated catering and toilet facilities and a tiny tiny grandstand. I would love to watch the Roosters play there again, I just cant see the NRL allowing it to happen though.

[horrie hastings]

and technically what is wrong with the SFS ? if its not up to current safety standards I guarantee that most grounds in Sydney would not even come close to being up to code safety wise.

Unless there is a massive backlash that joint will be sold to developers. The only other way is to demolish it and start again, which is too expensive. They can't redevelop it.
