Mariners Partnership with Club Tuggerah

[gull]

I've just heard that Wyong RSL members will vote on the 14th December about entering a partnership with CCM. It involves Club Tuggerah and other land in the area becoming their "Centre of Excellence" and I guess their clubhouse in future?

Not sure of all the details ATM but sounds like some of the things mentioned in other posts in the past may be about to happen!

Yer mum just got the letter to she is going to vote and my grandmother haha.
I will be gun if it happenes.
Do any other club have this kind of "centre"?

 

[FFC Mariner]

When was/is the cut off date for members being able to vote?

Are new members able to vote?

 

[gull]

Cut off date would be on the day, and I'd imagine that new members would be entitled to vote.

From what I hear it's a done deal as Wyong RSL get a pretty good deal out of it and haven't been going the best lately.

i can confirm(inside knowledge) we will be building a 45 000 seater stadium on the site

 

[Redline]

That's FIFA sized isn't it? IIRC min size for world cup is 40k seats...?

correct, which is the reason why we are building are stadium of that size. It is going to be partially funded by the australian government as part of the WC bid

If they have a partnership with Club Tuggerah, does that affect their sponsorship / dealings with Mingara?

Would be very surprised to see a 45k seat stadium on the CC, would be to much of a white elephant.

believe when i see it

you might to want to get a second source for your "inside information"

 

[northernspirit]

seems too far fetched to be true
why would anyone build a 45k stadium on the coast knowing it would only be filled to capacity once, maybe twice every decade

 

[Bex]

Living only 2km from there I love the idea

@northerspirit:

If you going to build any sort of stadium, why not make it seat 45k rather than 20k, especially if it helps the world cup bid which is part of the federal government's agenda?

Is the expected attendance so much different to the stadium at homebush (noting also that it was originally built for 110,000).

@Keensy
It is pie in the sky, but I agree it could come to fruition if the federal government want to make it happen.

However, you are exceptionally light on substance with your claim. Furthermore, recently publicised discussions about the Mariners taking over the leasing rights to Bluetongue would seem to counter your claim. Whilst I would like it to happen, its pretty much impossible to believe at this stage.

We shouldn't focus on fanciful ideas, but appreciate the good news that this is.
In just five years the Mariners have turned themselves into a seriuosly professional outfit. In ten years time we'll be able to match it with J-league clubs because of this infrastructural investment.

Totally agree. If it did happen, it would be a white, no a bright fluro yellow elephant.

Your a goose.

And i think that is just the perminent area for the academy, offices, and all things football.

insurance scam

Looking at google map it looks as though there already a pitch on there. Look like you could fit 1 or 2 more pitch's on there and use the tennis courts for futsal to improve tech and speed. NOT big enough or the best place for a 45 thousand seater stadium.haha
Lets hope it can be our soon and base the academy there as a boarding house/ school/Football Academy.
