Western Sydney Stadium update regarding Tigers tour.

Hello Members,We wanted to address your concerns regarding a few West Tigers Members being granted access to the new Western Sydney Stadium (WSS) and give you context about why this opportunity has not yet been offered to Parramatta Eels Members.The Tigers were granted limited access because they have completed their commercial agreement with the Stadium operators, VenuesLive. Their agreement includes swapping their four games from ANZ Stadium to WSS for the 2019 season.Given that the Parramatta Eels will be an anchor tenant of WSS and our commercial agreement will cover many years and many more games per season than other tenants, our negotiations with the WSS operator, VenuesLive, are very extensive and cover a range of important issues including food & beverage, pricing, interaction with our Parramatta Leagues Club precinct, transportation plans, customer experience, membership seating and corporate hospitality.Since WSS will be our new long term, home ground, it is important that we undertake appropriate due diligence on all these issues before completing our agreement – this will ensure all the relevant issues are addressed. These negotiations are progressing well and once they have been completed it is our intention to provide our Members a number of opportunities to get to know our new home.We hope this helps to alleviate some of your concerns; please be assured we are working diligently to ensure our return home to Parramatta is the absolute best experience for our Members and commercial partners.

  • Sounds like a whole load of crap to cover their arses
    • Explain how.

    • I'm probably wrong but I'd assume that they would have started their negotiations for this since the start of 2017 knowing that this would be their long term home ground, whilst tigers would have to negotiate not only the new deal but the move from anz to wss
      Like I said I may be wrong and if I am I'd pull my statement
      • Our negotiations are WAAAAAAY more extensive than West’s Tigers 4 games a year deal. 

        • Tigers had to negotiate four games for one season. We're becoming long term tenants with 11 games per season and integrating it with the rest of the club. A lot more work has to go into it to ensure we've got everything right for both parties. If the Tigers stuff something up, it's one season, they can live with it. If something in our deal is stuffed up, we've got potentially a three decade deal at risk.

          Put it this way, what takes longer, taking out a 12 month lease for a house, or signing up for a 30 year bank loan? I've done both and the bank loan requires a lot more due diligence, negotiation, paperwork and time.

          • You can't polish a turd Super. The simple fact is that Parra fans (and WSW fans) should have had the first 'sneak-peak' at the new stadium. They've dropped the ball and you can't argue otherwise.

            • I can argue otherwise and I'd say you're just looking for an opportunity to sink the boot in without any rhyme or reason. 

              Also, you can polish a turd:

              • Super

                how come you know that you can polish a turd?

                • See video above Wile E

                  • I know

                    I was just trying to be funny

                    Damn Acme jokes always blow up in my face
