Message: [QUOTE="Twiztid, post: 2248043, member: 2144"] When you refer to "us", are you refering to Australia, NRL or Soccer. Because upgrading stadiums for this international event isn't going to do much if anything for Rugby League, besides the upgrades to the stadiums. Look at Homebush as an example. Since Sydney 2000, for probably a good half of the year nothing happens at the different facilities at Homebush. It served its purpose for the Olympics. Yet, almost 10 years later, we don't have enough use for all the areas and these places have to be getting money from somewhere to be looked after. So, basically my problem being is. If those traditional grounds where given the money proposed over 10+ years ago, instead of being stuffed around by the government, imagine the crowds. Souths playing at packed Redfern Oval of 20k a game, Bulldogs playing at a packed Belmore to 20k a game and Leichardt upgrade to fit a comfortable 20k a game instead of feeling like sardines. Anz, SFS and maybe a build another Suncorp stadium in Sydney to handle the bigger crowd games. IMO this whole situation is basically becoming a somewhat FU to Rugby League and AFL. They are chasing the dollar and if they did these upgrades and spent more money on the games already established here, they wouldn't look as bad in my eyes. But, I have rose coloured glasses on as someone who hates soccer. [/QUOTE]
