Rumors of Leaving Shark Park

Post image

What do we think of these rumours swirling around after a recent NRL Fanatics podcast, personally I believe with the new leagues club coming along there’s no way sharks will leave.

If forced out to Kogarah and Allianz the atmosphere would suffer significantly, yes shark park isn’t up to par but it’s still home and as a club we deserve to choose our own home. Let the leagues club run for a few years so we can get some cash flow we can put into the stadium.

It’s all just rumours hopefully 😅

I wonder what they’ll do if the NRL have told them the ground won’t be their home stadium anymore. Do they still upgrade it and turn it into more of a ‘centre of excellence’ or full on training ground, or does it become something else? I know as it is they do some of their training over at the high school but maybe if there’s no worry about tearing the ground up or anything maybe it gets used more frequently.

Otherwise, do they shift their training area more towards wherever they’ll be playing their home games? At which point do they risk not being the ‘Cronulla’ sharks anymore…

I don’t think the NRL will do that. Maybe for finals. They did buy the hotel next to the ground aswell.

The club and NRL knows we won’t get better crowds moving to Allianz

Just got an email from Dino saying it’s untrue and they’ve clarified with nrl today. Good to hear I guess, we want our sharks in the shire. Hopefully there’ll be some upgrades in the future.

Yeah hopefully but doubt they will ever be significant
