• Liverpool: 37%
• Leichhardt: 26%
• Penrith: 21%
• Manly: 11%
• Campbelltown: 5%

The verdict: While Brookvale Oval and Kogarah have been earmarked as the venues in line for major upgrades, the clubs believe that will be money wasted. Almost 40 per cent of club bosses want a new stadium in Liverpool, likely to be shared by the Tigers and Bulldogs. Leichhardt Oval finished second, while there’s also support for a new stadium at Penrith which, like Liverpool, will be close to the new Badgerys Creek airport being built.

“Liverpool is one area where we have indicated to state government, but it’s their decision,” V’landys said. “They will do business cases on each area we provide. Once they do those business cases, they will determine which grounds will be done. They have already announced business cases will be done with Brookvale, Kogarah and Penrith.”

Only LNP seats will get a new stadium. We've seen it all before.

Brookvale is a certainty, and Penrith is an LNP "Howard Battlers" seat they are desperate to hold onto. Liverpool is Labor.

He's only interested if it's close to the new airport. If the metro was nearby, it would be redeveloped into high rise apartments, not wasted on football stadiums.

The State Member for Liverpool is Paul Lynch, been there since 1995, that's 26 years of basically doing nothing and achieving nothing. He was a Minister back in 2007, lasted about a year under Iemma then Rees dumped him to the back bench and Keneally left him there. He has qualifications in Law, but not a lawyer from memory. Which seems to be his total field of interest, never sat on any committee that has anything to do with his local area, not planning, not infrastructure, not roads, just legal committees. He was a councillor on Liverpool council for 8 years, which pretty much tells us all we need to know. They keep voting for has-beens or never-was-beens and that's what you get, nothing.
