The Greatest Little Club on Earth - Mariners doco 2024

Did that include the Bowling Club site.

I'm not just talking minor modifications. The council want to develop the Bowling club site. Property developers like the Rose Group, together with Singo and Denny could join with Mike to develop that site for units and provide a proper northern stand with corporate facilities a social club for both game days and away days plus a much needed roof.

Yes - I've seen that but the Bowling Club site was never on the table. The Corporate kitchen was to be in the heightened western stand and a later render had a tower in the south west corner with a 'Chairmans Dining Room' at the top that would be used as a top end restaurant the rest of the time.

This is in many ways is more modest - at least in terms of the stadium. The expensive upgrade in capacity of the western stand would not go ahead (which would have provide shade to the eastern stand). A new corporate kitchen would move to the northern stand.

There would be no new screens, no yellow seats except maybe on the yellow army end. The new change rooms have been delivered and the retail and café precinct could be included in the Bowling club site redevelopment.

The Council would get their way with the development of the Bowling Club site, the Mariners could get much needed match day revenue and Venues NSW would get an updated Stadium that would be more attractive to hire the rest of the time.

I will see if I can dig out the actual proposal. I believe it included north redevelopment, not just a roof. That was contentious because the Leagues Club own (or owned) it

I think that's correct plus the original planning approval guaranteed the bowling club plus water views from the townhouses behind it.

Got around to watching the doco tonight. Surprised they left Peil walking on water and turning water into wine on the cutting room floor sheesh.
I thought he came across as an arsehole anyway.
I had a positive view of him before this so I guess there must be some doozies on the cutting room floor.
