Interesting read and some fascinating comments.

I am shocked to hear that there has been no representation to State Politicians for years - as I though Kerry Sibraa and others were lobbying hard for the club. If the club has not been knocking down the door for fair treatment, that is a total scandal.
Some people obviously have no interest in letting the facts stand in the way of a good old club admin bash using all the hyperbole they can muster.

Thankfully you did bother Charlie, and raised the balance and intelligence on the site.Â
The counter to imbalance is balance.
The counter to disinformation is information.Â

Canteen, the problem, as I see it is that the ground is owned by the council. Until that ends, and a trust seems like the way to go, I can't see it improving. Lobby for that.Â
A trust seems a fine idea, except where's the funding source?

The funding source would be the government or private funding, just like the SCG, but there would be a specific group that would be in control of negotiations, plans, events and everything that happens at the ground. It is definately one of the best ideas I have heard from them as it takes control of the ground away from the council (very good thing), means the tax payers don't have to pay money for maintenance, putting it elsewhere (also a good thing) and finally it means that the pressure is taken off the Sea Eagles to ensure the ground is kept up to scratch. It means that we can concetrrate on running the Sea Eagles business rather than constantly worrying about where we'll be able to do that business.

Charlie, I will just say this. It would never have become a "glorified admin bash" if others hadn't behaved the way they did. As I said in the original post, this came all about because abusive behaviour. Its not what this should be about. Yes, we are frustrated, yes we are pissed off that nothing has been done. However, pull your heads in (the club that is, not you), as whether Brad lied or not (and I mentioned this possibility in my original post as well), the hard work of Kerry's can be wiped (did I spell that right Fro?) with one stupid action.
This is the worst time to vent ones anger at the Politicains when they are one of our last hopes to get funding until the next federal election.
Also, don't think your opinion/facts aren't useful here, because they are. My post was based on what I saw and heard at that forum. If clearing up on some facts needs to be done then so be it, and you confirmed the fact that Brad could very well have been lying. That still doesn't excuse the behaviour of the others, frustrated or not and it was that behaviour that the post was about.
As I said in the post, and you can re-read it if you like, the 2 years quote could be true or not and, if true, there could be many reasons why it has been 2 years (already have state funding, federal election etc.). That is still not what the post was about.
There have been arguments on here about swearing at games and how it can be seen badly on the clubs, or signs that put a bad image on a club. That kind of behaviour does the exact same thing and when you abuse the hand that feeds you, you are walking on fire.
