Message: [QUOTE="Twiztid, post: 2408914, member: 2144"] The Leagues club closed early 2007. All Leagues club staff were handed their notices and they closed the doors. Football club admin staff whose office was on Level 3 and the shop on the ground level (where I worked) relocated to an office about a 5 minute walk away and it included a new loan retail shop underneath. The new Leagues club redevelopment was meant to coincide with the redevelopment of Redfern Park/Oval across the road. With Redfern Oval finally opening to the public with their "Return to Redfern" preseason match in Feb 09 against the Tigers. The leagues club building still set as a half finished construction site. Major delays came from poor handling of the job due to a breakdown of relationship with Trivest (construction company), Crowe and Phac over the building and also major hurdles with Sydney City Council and leagues club board, with continuous changes to the leagues club floor plan (including the no pokies campaign) delaying the project for almost 3 extra years. Some levels of the building were finally finished late last year. With the football admin staff returning to their new level 4 offices and retail shop in December 2010. Since removing Trivest from finishing the project, the new construction company looks to have a deadline to reopen the leagues club for RTR 2012. It will be an interesting 2 months if they can meet the deadline of 28th of January. I really hope they can. Well that would partly be my fault. I posted an on topic comment in this thread and received my usual "Souths are ####" response from the BHQ haters (lol). I replied with my usual "if only we were better" response. Then facts were brought up to dispel my claim and then the snowball effect started to get to where we are now. [/QUOTE]
