This is what gets me, Home ground advantage can be such a big deal, and it should be a big deal, giving it away by "playing big games" at a location irks me no end.leeroy*NRL* wrote:post_hoc wrote:ANZ redevelopment is great news, being rectangular is going to make viewing so much better.
FFA has agreed to Socceroos and Matilda's games there, and the fact the end stands can also be brought in is great for football good news for Rugby League and shows how well League and football can work together.
I would like the new Parrastadium to have the same deal allowing the end stands to be brought in getting rid of the endzones between league and football matches.
Parra stadium looks like it will get safe standing as well which is great news
Agreed
R.L union and soccer should have been lobbying for years for these upgrades.
its great to see.
The Roof over Olympic park too, will help with bad weather
creating what Ethiad has had for years.
Game is good no matter what the weather.
Have the Wanderers locked in Olympic pk during the Parra stadium make over ?
The Sydney derby in football is a case in point, when played at (old parra, maybe too early to be calling it that, the eels fans might call me up on it and say old parra was cumberland oval) when played at Parra it is 18,000 or more Wanderers, and a small number of SFC and it is intimidating.
When Sydney host it is not quite half and half maybe 2/3 to 1/3 and I think Sydney lose out on that one.
Not going to be the same when we play them at ANZ for the next few years
