Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3390247, member: 1769"] Vlandy's has hit back at the NSW Premier claiming that they had a deal (to redevelop Stadium Australia) and if NSW don't honour the funds (only to upgrade NSW suburban grounds) then thye NRL will take the GF off of NSW. [B]Lord Vlandys says:[/B] “We just want our suburban stadiums in NSW, we want that tribalism,” V’landys told Today. “We had a deal. The deal was they would spend $800 million on stadiums, but rather than spending it on Accor Stadium (Stadium Australia), we wanted it spent on suburban stadiums. “We want those promises honoured by the NSW government, and if they don’t, we’ll take it (the grand final) elsewhere.” [I][B]late last year, the Perrottet government committed $300m to revamping Penrith Stadium; the ARLC want assurances other grounds would receive the same treatment[/B][/I] [B]Lord Vlandys again:[/B] “The government … is just so slow to move,” he said. “We want ink on the paper, we want it in writing and until we get that, the grand final is up for grabs.” [I][B]The comment by Perrottet that Vlandys should move to QLD if he took the GF up here hasn't gone down well with Vlandys[/B][/I] [B]Lord Vlandys for a final time:[/B] “What I’ve said to him was that I’d have to if I want to see a major event,” V’landys said. “I’d have to go to Queensland, or live in Melbourne, god help me. “That’s where we’re at in NSW. We don’t have events, they wouldn’t know an event if they tripped over it. “It’s about time they started doing things rather than asking their residents to leave the state to go and see events.” [I][B] [/B][/I] [/QUOTE]
