Yep, disgraceful on their part. I've heard a story, not sure if its true, but the Greeks had a chance to buy Fraser Park in the the 90s and thought it was too expensive. The Portuguese community bought it for under $2 million.
Would have been a good location for them
I'm glad my community were smart enough to buy it for that price. Bargain.
must be a cultural thing for “Olympic” clubs. same thing with Canberra here
Weird because Australian Greeks love buying property!
I suspect that there was NO land to purchase in inner Sydney.
I think from memory lambert park might be a similar arrangement to lakeside with Hellas. A very long term lease or something like that. Happy to be corrected
Both of those would have been good for them
I know Canberra Olympic a while back were trying to purchase an oval off ACT Government in Woden (across/down the road from the Hellenic Club, which.. essentially is their social club), but that didn't go through for whatever reasons, and is now run as the main development/training ground for - you guessed it, AFL Canberra and Cricket ACT.
The current Barton Park should’ve been made into a similar size as its was before
Is this a compliment to us?
There's about 3 other pitches behind the main one and the training one.
