Northern beaches super stadium

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

I do some filming work with Red Bull over here in UK so next time I'm in a room with MR Red Bull Dietrich Mateschitz I will bend his ear about buying the club. Pocket change for RB.

What do we think? The Red Bull Seaeagles playing out of Red Bull super stadium Sydney. Given we already have wings I reckon it would be a great match.

I have been t a few manly Titans games at Robina ... not much parking there but very organized and efficient car parks 10 minutes away and free buses to the stadium from the carparks running non stop ... also the Gold Coast / Brisbane railway stops at the ground .... transport and parking are the big issues to overcome ... I like the French's Forest location if nearby parkingand buses could be organized

I went to St Ives once. I met a man with seven wives.

I grew up in St Ives we moved to Forestville and I went to The Forest High .... I spoke so St Iveish that everyone thought I was a pom !! go figure

Was back home in March and drove the road in question. I do see what your saying. Would need a lot of upgrading to 2 or 3 lanes minimum.
So could we share rat park with the rah rahs?

They’d share it with us. Travelling much better than the Sea Eagles at the moment haha

When I lived in St Ives I reckon there were more Saffa’s than poms.

Who owns rat park, and what would be the possibilities of a new stadium?

 

[ALinda]

Rat Park is the only site that works. The aquatic centre area has been tagged for the redevelopment of the high school up there I thought.

St Ives would never work because Manly fans don’t travel.

That's all spot on.
As for the aquatic centre, yes The Forest High School is going to be moved/built next to the aquatic centre (to make way for a new town centre on the school site next to the new hospital).

I'd say Rat Park's owned by the same owner of Brookie Oval - Northern Beaches Council who maintain and manage both of them.
As for the possibilities, who knows realistically but you'll see in the above posts Rat Park definitely has a lot of pluses.

It would be nice to see, but don't hold your breath. Unless the Waratahs commit to moving there and another A-League team gets put in Sydney on the Northern Beaches (which is unlikely), it'll never happen.

Nice thought though.

I grew up across the road and attended dozens of games there in the 80's, definitely a top position .

Other good thing about Ratty is that North Narrabeen residents are known to be very welcoming to non locals so games would have a very pleasant vibe

The town centre will be significantly enhanced by the new stadium.

Even if you came from Avalon you were considered an outsider, the things I've seen at northie point lol

 

[The Wheel]

I think you will find our super stadium will remain at Brookvale

They should have a drive in at the stadium when games aren't on.
