Sorry, minor thread hijack warning:

Sheesh Dibo, you don't miss a thing.

We can all feel very safe with the Grammar Police on the case.

i thought omni was already taking the piss, i was just making the follow-up play.

 

[~Floss~]

Ahh, spotted. I am the slow one. The Novacastrian started it.

 

[dibo]

leaving aside taking the piss out of thomas's spelling, we can also take the piss out of the fact that the main stands are probably 5 storeys tall already.

 

[~Floss~]

Well then, let's just make them 5 tears tall instead.

hmm last league game at BTS, Newcastle 2 Mariners 1 ?
last semi game Mariners 3 Newcastle 0

BUT according to ccm fans, league is more important then the cup

According to FOOTBALL fans, the Premiership is more important than the Championship (or as Greenpoleffc calls it - the Post Season cup . Also known as the Toilet seat, or in the Jests case "Con's toilet seat"))

You mean the league that we won??

Gotcha.

Isnt it the case that only one city can have 2 stadiums and the rest have one for a WC. If that were the case the WC would be in the following 10 stadiums with following adjusted capacities:

Sydney: ANZ Stadium (Final Venue) 83k+
Sydney: Aussie Stadium 45k+
Melbourne: New Victory/Storm Stadium plus upgrade from 31k-about 60k+ needed
Newcastle: EAS (upgraded) from 26k - about 40k+ needed
Brisbane: Suncorp Stadium 52k (good, gets a stamp with a smiley face on it)
Adelaide: New Stadium or upgrade Hindmarsh needs about 50-60k
Perth: New Stadium or upgrade Members Equity needs about 50-60k
Gold Coast: Skilled Park (Upgrade) 29k - 50k needed
Central Coast: New Stadium or upgrade BT needs 40k+
Canberra: Bruce Stadium (Upgrade) needs 40k+
Townsville: Dairy Farmers Stadium needs 40k+

as you can see no we are in no state for a world cup with only 3 purpose built stadiums being large enough (ANZ, Aussie, Suncorp) and I reckon that Suncorp is the only one that can pretty much remain as it is and host WC games. Therefore with this bid, I reckon we might see a new stadium in our neck of the woods

Ah, what about Football Park in Adelaide (55k) and the MCG (100k)? The MCG would be the final venue, surely? I cannot see how the G does not meet FIFA regs, when many of the recent World Cup games have been held in stadia with Athletics Tracks around them.

Perth are building a new 60k stadium for Fremantle, West Coast and the Western Force, to replace an ageing Subiaco.

Also, QEII stadium in BrisVegas is massive, old, but very large (60k plus),

 

[Jesus]

I think the ffa should demand more purpose built stadiums. I think that the new perth stadium already had its plans modified so as it would meet fifa world cup standards.

I dont think we should settle for playing at afl grounds. This is a chance for football to gain infrastructure. These stadiums will be used not only for the world cup, but for the asian cup, and, as it grows, the a-league. If we let them use afl grounds we will not get the infrustructure, will always be 2nd on the leases, and have our season dictated by afl in those areas.

I read that the msg did not meet specs, but then read elsewhere it did. I am not sure which is true, but i dont think there should be a problem with the mcg being used for games. I doubt the final will be there though.

i thought according to fifa regulations they had to be purpose built for football which would rule out football park, MCG, subiaco/new perth stadium.

I think the ffa should demand more purpose built stadiums. I think that the new perth stadium already had its plans modified so as it would meet fifa world cup standards.

I dont think we should settle for playing at afl grounds. This is a chance for football to gain infrastructure.

and i agree with Jesus, the ffa should be demanding more stadiums purpose built for football. with a potential perth stadium, the force and the glory could share it, same with melbourne. the only place where there will be no other tennant to share with would be in adelaide

The MCG would be the final venue, surely? I cannot see how the G does not meet FIFA regs, when many of the recent World Cup games have been held in stadia with Athletics Tracks around them.

A positive factor for us New South Welshmen is that sydney will get the final this is due to Lowys influence even if the MCG is deemed suitable by fifa regulations
