News Dogs, Souths eye off Bankwest

[habs]

Meh let’s just play all our home games away, raelene style

 

[Nexus]

Play a few more games at Belmore FFS

No way.

Place is a shithole, facilities sub par and the surrounding infrastructure is inadequate. Good luck trying to find parking without arriving to the game at least 2 hours early.

And we get pumped there time after time. It was nice that one time we beat Melbourne but yeah nah it's 2019 not 1985.

 

[Spoonman84]

Why don't we play at Sydney Showgrounds / Spotless Stadium? Sure it's normally an AFL ground but it's at SOPA too.

That said Parra is heaps closer to my place.

It was a terrible place to watch us play in 2001 and it will still be terrible if we went back there.

 

[K E]

Eels really lucked out with the Wanderers coming into the comp.

 

[rainman]

Remember when we took home games to Concord, haha.

Please don’t bring that up again
What a debacle

 

[TABOO]

LOL @ Souths moving their games even further away from Redfern.

I am a fan of us playing out of the new stadium, closer to home for me too Mr. I and the facilities should be awesome.

 

[Phalangist]

So they are not knocking down anz anymore? Spewing

Will the refurbishment look just as good?

I would love for the club to purchase that ground knock it down and build our own little rectangular stadium

[Howard Moon]

Fuck people are lazy and spoilt these days

 

[Papa Joe]

Maybe they should consider a new complex somewhere like Liverpool for example, & perhaps name it "OASIS"......

No thanks. That is the worst stadium. Field is 50 metres from the stands.

The changes announced today still involve a substantial change to the ground and seating layout. It reflects that belief that they didn't need to "knock down and start again from scratch" to achieve the desired result. The refurb plan is still to make it into a "square stadium" more simply by adding seats that extend from the current oval shape to the League, Union, Soccer sidelines. Although it sounds simple it requires extensive work on the current roll out sections as well as changing the seating height profile from them backwards. This reduces the distance to the sidelines extensively, for example my seat in Section 107 will be only half the distance from the sidelines that it is now. Which is similar to what it was sitting next to the players box at Belmore back when. What they are doing (compare to the previous knock down plan) is to leave the oval shaped seating in the upper deck as well as the oval shaped roof (where the big bucks were).

Go Dogs

um ok... not sure how that response was warranted.

Someone's a bit sensitive it seems.

Remember when we took home games to Concord, haha.

Unfortunately yes hahaha! Was around the time Dean Pay was captain...

Haha yep a few games in ’94 from memory!

ANZ is good when its something like a GF but when its 5:30 on a Saturday night in the middle of winter with 8000 crowd its a terrible place to watch footy.

It doesn’t matter the crowd (although if there were more loyal supporters rather than bandwagon jumpers we should get 20-25k a week). All that matters is every game we play there we make money. We can have 2 people there and walk away with a nice pay day.
Compare that to every team that plays out of a suburban ground and cannot turn a profit even when they get 10-15k crowds. I would rather play at anz be comfortable with ample parking and plenty of food stalls and toilets under cover and anz is getting redeveloped starting the end of this year to a rectangular stadium. Can’t wait

 

[Papa Emeritus]

Please just knock ANZ down and let us play out of Bankwest long term. It looks like a cracking stadium and ANZ is a POS that should not exist anymore.

No Belmore has become our Hoo doo Ground we always seem to lose there, althoughit doesn't really matter at the moment because every ground is our Hoo Doo Ground.
