Mariners Partnership with Club Tuggerah

[Rowdy]

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

Ummmm, one reason would be to NOT have your home Grand Final taken away from you because you play out of a piddly 20,000 seater would be one.

Couple that with ACL games and the mass of traveling fans from the J-Leagues, no NRL games chewing up the pitch.....the reasons for building one of this size are endless not to mention being optimistic about the future growth of the game over the next decade.

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

link? source?

(inside knowledge)

believe when i see it

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

I can also confirm this is going ahead.

Wendy Wand. what a name

 

[FFC Mariner]

2 key pieces of info in this:

1) Purchase by the JV of certain properties in Wyong?

2) Club name change to incorporate Mariners.

I wonder if we are finally so pissed off with CCF that we are going down another path?

Do a JV to get access to a club infrastructure (and taxation) build a training centre/small ground (a la Budgie) and then look to run a 2nd tier team of our own (NSWPL one day please).

Whats the betting that post matches etc get shifted?

Will we need to look at another affiliation for the Marinators club?

Seriously clever people running this club IMHO

No 45k seater...

Think training pitches, boutique venue for w-league, nyl, etc, gyms, pools, futsal courts, accommodation for visiting teams and trialists, eating/living facilities for them, labs for sports science research, or at least some combination of.

I think it could work a 45k seater.

Apart from the WC and finals matches. Long run closer to wyong than gosford makes sense populationwise.

Allows for the stadium to be used for other events as well.

Could also see RL played there in summer as well. I have no doubt if the feds (and no doubt the state) are going to put some money in, they will sell the land of bluey for a good price, or use that land in their whole redevelopement of gosford thing. I do not think there will be 2 stadiums on the coast if this goes through.
