I never understood why we continue to lease grounds and require public funding for professional, corporate operations.
Has anyone thought of RugbyWA (or ARU) buying land and building their own stadia ? surely with all the corporate nouce and money beign thrown around WA in the past few years someone could source a 99yr (or more) loan to by ME and rebuild it! Then they could pay what the lease costs now on a mortgage and sublet to League and Soccer as well as concert events.
Its only money after all. Nearly every Soccer club in the UK OWN their ground, they were funded with 99 year mortgages with club members buying 'shares'. We keep looking for handouts too often in Australia - and thats why we are becoming a Nanny State.
Any thoughts ?
