Vaughan reports for duty as Dogs hit the track
PAUL Vaughan will make his first official appearance as a Bulldog on Wednesday as the new-look Canterbury Bulldogs start offseason training at Belmore.

Canterbury is the first NRL club to officially start summer training with part of the top-30 squad back to work.
And it will be the first time Vaughan, 30, has appeared since being sacked by St George Illawarra in early July after breaking Covid restrictions by hosting a barbecue for 13 teammates at his south coast home.
Vaughan was fined $50,000 and banned for eight games by the NRL - a suspension he worked off over the later stages of last season.

Other NRL players to return to Belmore on Wednesday include Corey Allan, Jake Averillo, Josh Cook, Max King, Jayden Okunbor, Aaron Schoupp, Jackson Topine, Zac Hetherington, Bailey Biondo Odo, Matt Doorey and Brandon Wakeham. Like Vaughan, Cook and King are newcomers to the Bulldogs.

No room for a 25,000 seat capacity stadium and parking?
Move the existing stadium up to the top fields. Depending on what’s underneath! Build 25,000 stadium. Turn existing into 4 level car park.
Open bowling club on side way turning into two lanes in and out. Build shop fronts along there and turn the remaining bowling club grounds into a small laundy hotel and charge lease. Lease to shop fronts like Gloria jeans etc.
the only problem would be congestion to remaining council roads
That’s why I also think Liverpool where the club owns the land could be even better with good planning

Not without building over the railway line and aquiring a bunch of houses...

Of ocurse, if you put a roof on it so it could work east-west, BW at Belmore fits a little bit better but the railway is still a problem. Not insurmountable, but not cheap.

Grandstand above the railway line, like the Hurstville Shopping Centre, Transport NSW would love to sell any airspace over the railway line.

Always a Bulldog

It’s a great idea. But it would also have to be commercially beneficial for state rail to consider a proposal for it. Maybe a good time to propose it while the irons hot with it being a green space and turning to more green

It's no brainer for Transport NSW, currently they earn nothing from the vast amount of airspace over most above ground railway lines. As result any rent that we paid them would be "money for nothing", they would simply be selling air.
