Roosters heading back to Henson Park

[Guest]

In this day and age with Sydney teams fighting for fans there is nothing worse than watching a home game and seeing nothing but empty seats. I'll no longer live in Sydney or attend games so its hard for me to have a go at local fans for not turning up. BUT - what if the roosters went back to a redeveloped Henson Park? Surely a smaller boutique ground along the lines of Leichhardt, North Qld or Manly, those grounds have some life and teams hate playing at them. Imagine the atmosphere!!! Even a 10000 plus crowd would make life hard for visiting teams.

Who is going to pay for the redevelopment ?

[Guest]

Perhaps the bosses should ask the saints as they redeveloped Kogarah. The Titans (albeit with some dramas) have a new stadium. State government grants, sponsorship, local council, property developers, Sir Nick, sausage sizzels! $2 per sausage minus outgoings is $1.50. 10 million divided by 1.5 is 666666 sausages. We can do it.

Mate I dont think he was thinking about redevelopment. As is.

Henson just had 1.5 million $ spent on it & it still looks the same.

Waverley oval is coming along quite nicely, the new stand is nearly finished.

If they start playing decent footy, the fans will come. Simple.

Oh geez not this again, giving up our contract with the Trust for any kind of suburban venue would lose hundreds of thousand of dollars a year.

So we 1) play out of an inferior venue and 2) lose revenue, for what? The crowd to look better on TV? Just no.

As Long as I have a private parking spot behind the posts with a Yeeros stand next to it

Your yeeros would wanna be cheap Brain, cause Sausages are only two bucks. How much of your sales are going to the Henson refurb?

Not sure been there a thousand times as Fatty says and it took them 50 years to re- tar the front of the grand stand and afford a surveyor to work it out.
Besides if the Yeeros thing doesnt work out they have great steak sandwiches to be washed down with a KB rooster can and I get a ticket in the raffle to wine and dine in some shit fag place at Newtown -all for a good cause.

I wouldnt mind one game per year there... like a storm or cowboys game... be nice to couple it with a Jets opener.
