The travelling circus: stadia discussion

My first time back at the SFS since leg 1 of our semi. Actually looking forward to sitting back and pretending I understand all rugby union laws.

So the dance around scheduling with concerts and dodgy turf will continue.

Allianz will be unavaliable for Rounds 1 & 2 of the season due to concerts by ‘Travis Scott’ and ‘Stray Kids’

Why can’t they do concerts at fucking Homebush?

Because concerts at Allianz must make a shitload more money for the stadium than football ever does.

I’m kind of over complaining about the pitch and availability at the new stadium. It’s a world class stadium in a world class city shared by multiple sports and there are always going to be international acts performing at it where it suits.

We could be playing at Kogarah averaging 4k. I’ll take playing in mud at Moore Park.

Are either of those bands big enough to fill out a stadium? I can’t name 1 song from either of them

Travis Scott is married to a Kardashian.

Stray kids are some K-pop group, so it’s almost a necessity for all Koreans to attend.

I think the majority of K-Pop fans are not Korean, in Australia it will be the case for sure, it’s a part of worldwide adolescent culture.

Deny him a VISA on those grounds alone.

World War 3 can’t come soon enough.

Im no fan but I think it’s fantastic that something other than USA cultural hegemony is influencing the world’s youth.

Isn’t Travis Scott a NASCAR driver? :thinking:

He drove so goddamn fast. He never did win no checkered flags. But he never did come in last.

Me too, I’d take a cow paddock at Moore Park over a billiard table surface at Kogarah

Until the quality of football turns into AA mens, and players start picking up injuries.

You have a giant fuck off stadium in Homebush that is empty for 95% of the summer, and a practically purpose-built arena next door.

The government should improve PT access to Homebush, and use that for concerts.

Spending $25+ bn on that already - Metro West, but won’t open until 2030.

When it’s open they still will use Allianz

Is it because when you go to the city, you get a multiple experience of everything, compared to going to Homebush for the one event?

That’s how i feel about it anyway.

This thread is probably the best fit for it, but they know the pots for our Asian group draw (due to happen on the 16th). Want Singapore away, we got two chances of it. The playoff tie from which the loser will join pot 1 is between Shandong and Bangkok.

Lots of potentially cool away trips there

Sanfrecce is my dream match.

If Sydney get Sanfrecce I’m locked in to do that away trip. If no Sanfrecce, I would like to get back to Singapore, get my Geylang International friends to switch their green for sky blue for a night.

Muangthong play out of the “Thunderdome stadium”, so that would be sick
