This has a video about the conflict over the 25,000 seat rectangular venue.

it is looking VERY outdated

so they want skilled stadium?

certainly appears to have been 'influenced' by the gold coast venue...

Yep Barnett wants a Skilled Park style venue...

Everybody laugh at Perth

It can't build a stadium, unless there is a massive bitch fight before the venue is constructed. Can't see the sh*t fight being resolved any time soon...

Absolute disaster the MES Redevelopment saga...

even with the WC bid submitted, I still believe more in Unicorns

Love the spin on the home webpage. "Perth's stadium has evolved over a number of years and has had an extensive feasibility study" - ROFL.

Well lets be glass half full here - you can't say that they haven't discussed all the options fully with all parties!

its not a case of glass half full with WA its a glass half wasted... And the other half soon to be evaporated...only Egans tears keeps anything in the glass at all.

so...

This is the best existing thread I can think of to mention news I read yesterday.

Anna Bligh has promised the good people of Rockhampton that if the Central Queensland NRL bid is accepted, she will build them a stadium.

Why the heck you'd give those people a team is beyond me but clearly there are two ends of the spectrum.

QLD - build stadiums for teams that don't exist.
WA - nothing for everyone.

She's (well Labor) gotten themselves into a bit of a pattern now. Lets be honest though, it won't need to be anything special, probably two decent main stands. Get out of this one for around $60 Million. Then again Browne Park is quite restrained, so maybe they would do a Townsville and build it out in the sticks.

Gotta love Queensland.

But odds on the next Qld NRL franchise will be Ipswich or Sunny Coast.
