Know what you mean, Ryan, but it's still exciting that something is happening after years of promises and neglect. And if the State government comes through, we might end up with something a little more consistent.

We had an issue with background services between march 10th and 15th or there about. This meant the payment services were not linking to automatic upgrades.

'Huge oversight': Tigers miss out in latest plans to upgrade venues
Penrith and Manly have joined Kogarah as venues under consideration for stadium upgrades, but the Wests Tigers have again been snubbed.www.smh.com.au
The tigers r complaining that the govt won't fund 3 stadiums for them.
Give me a break. How about Tigers actually decide on one home ground and what they stand for.
It will come it time, politics is a funny game
That's character and evolved growth ... history in each stage ... a patch work to be proud of
unlike the antiseptic soul-less cake tin the foul Parra fans get every 30 years ...
Yeah , I think you are right and I think it’s closer than ever now!

Funny story , I actually had a dream about you last night ( why I don’t know ).
But we were in a box at a new 25,000 seat stadium at Brookvale.
And we had VIP Name tags giving us free grog.
Serious , I woke up and thought , WTF!!!
Naturally I’d prefer dreams about my little friend Eugenie but try as I must all I got was you , beers and Brooky !!

Don’t be worried , we both had Manly gear on !!
But once it is done we wouldn't get the annual joy of a new Diorama. Surely, you'd all miss that?
Whoever does these things has put his kids through college, courtesy of the club.
My personal favourite was the stadium upgrade with the massive apartments behind the stand
If we are having a case study done for a whole new stadium will the Centre of excellence then have to be knocked down to build the stadium from the ground up?

Not only that, they still train at Concord, so that's four Stadiums they're involved in.
No centre of excellence is included in long term rebuild plans once built it stays put.

are they still training at concord oval? They should demand that ground is upgraded too.

An upgraded concord as their sole home ground isn't such a bad idea. It is walkable to Burwood station, close to Parramatta Rd and Concord Rd - more central than their other grounds. It'll never happen though.

That and the fact that money is always a determining factor.
As Frank Stanton himself told me back in June ‘95, as we gazed over the ground (and I asked him when we could see further improvements) from the brand new KA Stand - “It all takes money”.
There is also an increasing push on to recycle post-War structures, not just tear them down holus bolus, in a bid to reduce carbon emissions (i.e. reducing concrete consumption). The Quay Quarter tower, formerly the AMP Centre, is a classic partial demolition/rebuild effort.

Recently (on Flickr):
You can do a lot with a simple cantilevered-roof design stand like the old ones at Brookvale, as they have already proven.
I am yet to be convinced Parramatta needed a complete knockdown/rebuild within 35 years of the previous stadium’s construction.

There are several stadiums around the world that have hotel rooms that back onto a venue and form part of a grandstand. Adelaide Oval has one such recent addition.
I recall visiting Rogers Stadium in Toronto where you could rent a room, at a premium price, and watch the baseball from your balcony. I'm told that one television coverage caught more than they expected when they panned on one such room.
I see nothing wrong with having a hotel -- or apartments -- forming one side of a large grandstand.

There’s a hotel pretty much on the racetrack at Bathurst
