Boutique stadiums Australia

WIN Stadium getting a $17 Million upgrade for the 4 Dragons games a year they have there…


View attachment 5084


Would love to see the Wolves get into the A-League and play here one day.
It looks a bit the same as it is now, yeah? There's a new building on the northeast corner though.
 
Across the country, football clubs are being told there is “no funding,” that “planning takes time,” or that facilities “can’t be upgraded yet.” Meanwhile, we see multi-million-dollar grandstands, boutique ovals, and legacy infrastructure funded and delivered for other codes.

 
Sheeeeesh, Matt Windley reveals that there was a private commitment by the state government for $110 million for a stadium in Dandenong. JFC! 🥺 And that was in 2018 money! I feel a bit sick at losing that.

 
This was a terrible decision all round.. I would have taken Team 11 getting in over us, sure I would have grumbled but I think everyone would have expected them too.. WU was a sucker punch to old soccer AND new football.
If you told chat gpt all the stupid Australian football decisions that got made it'll probably shut it's self down

Leave the hills alone! Should heritage list them
Nah absolute hard disagree. It’s an embarrassment that the largest stadium in the 6th or 7th biggest city in the country still has grass hills like it’s 1974.

Dozens upon dozens of local grounds in the area to watch a game and have a few beers on the hill. An international level stadium isn’t it.
 
Huge fan of both. Some of the best times have been had on the southern hill. Now have brought the kidlets to their first games on the Northern. If we get to host the World Cup in 2090 sure go nuts

100%. At some point, a major tournament in Australia is going to mean the hills will be removed, but why do it now? It is clear that it is a popular spot to sit. I have always preferred it over the rubbish plastic seats and, so far as the southern hill is concerned, it is great having the older blokes people standing up the back having drinks and the young families sitting on the grass with kids running and kicking balls around.

It clearly won’t happen until a major tournament requires it as the funding won’t be there otherwise. But I can dream.
