Quick vid of our new stadium.

I found this video off youtube of the rendering of what our new stadium will look like. I don't know if someone has already posted this on here before. Sadly it shows it set up for soccer instead of league.

It looks like something you'd bring to a cake stall...

Im sure the opposition are going to dread coming to 'the jumping castle'

found that too

cory parker isnt so bright lmao i love that add

Personally I was kinda hoping the soccer players wouldn't sign to be a tennant so we'd have the stadium to ourselves.
Although I agree it's the right thing to do (relocate) I'm going to miss Olympic park. It has a lot of history and memories for us. I guess you must move with the times though.

looks ok how many is it going to hold

[sliat_1981]

31,000. I do hope they change their minds about the design of the covering of the seats. It looks like a bubble bath.

[Silkin Storm]

looks like it goes with the new storm man being made of marshmallows

[pauliedude]

I wonder how many more fans there will be just on account of better facilites.
Imagine having 25,000 or more and 99.99999% storm fans!!

[sliat_1981]

If we win a premiership then follow it with a good season, that would sustain  a lot of new fans. A lot of Melbournians, need to realise that just because you lend your support to league, doesn't mean you're abondoning Aussie rules. Storm aren't trying to "take over" anything. Too many Aussie rules fans have a negative view of Melbourne Storm when they've done nothing wrong to the AFL. In fact it's a case of the AFL f_ _king over the Storm.

I always get the impression that the AFL are paranoid.
I dont know too much about AFL except for the fact that if you play AFL you cant play for Australia!

Souths are putting up a fight against Manly. (45 min)

[sliat_1981]

You don't play AFL because AFL is a competition, not a sport. You play Aussie rules. But yes I agree, they're acting paranoid.

Finally saw some decent earth works on Friday night - a really big hole! Big enough to put some of the Parra players actually! They might actually start building the thing soon!

Could put some of their supporters in there too, like the ones I was sitting near last Friday night, that would be a good start LMAO - oh yeah, and stick bloody Shitzgerald in there too, do rugby league & the rest of the world a favour!

Nacho, we promise to be excited next year, once we can see progress being made on the new stadium. Until then it's just a promise that the state government will build it.

Remember this stadium was announced around the same time as the Gold Coast's new stadium was announced, there's should be ready for the start of next season and ours is just a "really big hole" in the ground.
