[Resurrected] Lol @ Parra

[globaleagle]

Parramatta Eels forward Peni Terepo has escaped the axe and been hit with a $25,000 fine after an alcohol-fuelled incident earlier this month.
The prop was made to sit out the Eels wins against the Panthers and the Bulldogs, but will now be free to face the Roosters this weekend.

The incident came after the Tonga international brought his own booze onto a flight to his native Auckland.

Really, regarding LOL at the EELs what more does anyone need or can anyone say..... given all their advantages the Eels records is a ****en disgrace and deserved of many laughs.

I don't know why Cumberland's wooden spoon of 1908 is not added to Parramatta's tally.

They’ll have the Magpies covered within a decade.

Also Annandale is on Parramatta road so there’s a few more

Yet they just got their second multi million dollar Tax payer funded Stadium

#SuccessIsOverRated

Yep ... and they all won't work out as well as Ponga .... unfortunately I predict there will be some unhappy endings ....

Even Foz, who at the time was known for having happy endings, ended up with an unhappy ending at the Eels

How are they still in business?

Because people keep gambling and Tax payers keep giving them revenue making venues 😎

Some of their reported loss would be for written down assets etc

The increased traffic to the new stadium will direct even more people to their machines, restaurants and bar facilities

How good is this paragraph ...

"We need to set a strong platform for our business going forward and I think we have done that now. We are now in a position where we can be strategic and we will move forward on that basis."

When I used to Chair board meetings and I had absolutely no fukking idea ..... I would say something like that ......

Lose 26 million in three years! Get a new stadium.

Now that's a strong business model

They get a new stadium because they are located in the middle city of Sydney's 3 CBD model for the future.

I live in Parramatta and like it or not there is some amazing stuff happening around here right now. In 10 years time it is going to be a fully-fledged city in its own right.

 

[Woodsie]

Sounds like a comedy ...

They could call it ... Other peoples money ....

Danny De Vito could play GreenTurd ....

 

[The Who]

How long do you think our benevolent owners would have stood by the club if we'd been losing such outrageous amounts of money?
Having a successful Leagues Club is yet another disadvantage we face.

hat is just not fair on Danny De Vito.

That loss is for Parramatta Football Club not the licensed Leagues Club which obviously picks up the tab of the losses. Still, bragging about bringing the trading figures from $10m loss to a $4m loss is a bit howyagoing when there was an extra $4 from the NRL. They really haven't cut costs at all as the article states they generated an extra $1.75m in hospitality and sponsorships. It would be interesting to see the accounts to see where the money is spent.

Nice to see Parra has paid tribute to their many great achievements since 1947 by naming a stand after in their new government funded stadium!
