Any new signings to replace Harold and Kim? Also, have we been able to cut loose any of the very expensive dead wood clogging up our cap?

Good to hear you guys again.

On the WWC we are not down as a venue or as a training ground.

There are 13 stadiums in the bid book, 8 in Australia. There only needs to be 8. I can see York Park being dropped (Launceston) as well as Hindmarsh and a NZ venue. That would leave 10.

If they get dropped they may play more in Sydney and Newcastle and we could be used as a training venue or even as a match venue if there are more teams in the eastern hub as a result of dropping the above stadiums .

However, the Council are doing us no favours with FIFA. Leagues Club Field being turned into a tidal pool and a proposed carpark between the western grandstand and the railway line give no overflow area that needs to be allowed for (though the foreshore could be argued).

It cant be the Coast - no hotel accomodation for a visiting teams

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Great podcast guys, sad to hear that Glassock, Olsen and Major can't sign but hopefully Stajcic gets a good look at them for next season. Excited to see us back in action on Saturday from down here in Melbourne, hopefully we can snag a point or three.

Crowne Plaza, Magenta Shores, Kooindah Waters could all host teams with training grounds at the Stadium and at Tuggerah.

If the council are serious about wanting games here then the first thing they should they should do is apply for State or Federal grants for the estimated $15m (their figures) needed to connect Mooramba Ave to Wyong Drive. They have stopped further development until there is another entrance at Tuggerah, having delayed the decision on Ibis Rd (which would have cost them nothing) for years. Then they ended up putting in the Regional Sports Park that brings more traffic meaning a second road is needed not only for CCMFC but for the Regional Sports Park and Tuggerah Station.

The upgrade required at the stadium, (probably redevelopment of the Northern area to include a roof and a professional kitchen) would be a lot less than is needed at York Park or Hindmarsh (20,000 seat minimum - bid book concedes that with temp seating it can only get to 18,500 and not meet disability access and seating standards ). Upgrades for Tuggerah would include upgrading the training ground (with a small stand on the Western side) and the start of the main stadium with 5,000-6000 stand along one side.

The 2019 WWC in France brought in around $463 million to the French GDP.

So Michael Neill is the only one that could be signed of those training with us at this stage. I also wouldn't mind seeing Matt Hatch tried as a LW (even as a scholarship player) that tracks back to help the LB. He certainly has the pace and seems to have a decent cross.

 

[Coast Football Ramble]

Couldn't find it mentioned elsewhere, Regarding Micky Neill, he's been signed by the Jets.
So of the four that were training on, we've not been able to sign any.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

if you get Mielekamp in, are you able to see if he can disclose anything about how and why the stadium management negotiations collapsed?

 

[FFC Mariner]

I think the appropriate answer to that is "commercial in confidence". Why burn them if you plan to go back again.
I think the deal has been dead since day 1 and it's useful as an excuse for MC taking his bat and ball and going home.

You're right. It did cross my mind to write to the council this morning.
But I could probably tell you what the reply would be.

Dear Pirate Pete

Piss off you little oik.
Confidential, Blah, blah, blah. etc
PS. you paid your rates a day late, don't let it happen again.

love CCC

and if he can't say anything that's understandable, but the club had finally actually started to make progress with the stadium negotiations after years of council not even entertaining it. Where it went wrong is a valid and important question.

 

[Josho Howe]

Probably going to be a bumper pod today lads so if you know of anyone who's a fan and doesn't listen, now's the time! Cheers

We did not meet a threshold of "uniqueness" for the proposal to be presented to the councillors. The councillors did not get a chance to formally review the proposal although I have sent them all a copy today.

I find being their only tenant pretty "unique". Idiots!

"Uniqueness" - what a wonderfully unquantifiable metric.

 

[pjennings]

I suspect our problem is that we are not uniquely a NRL team.
