The difference with Sutherland is the the funding did not come out of the public pocket, the money was donated by the major sponsor. With water availability & usage the way it is heading, the more of these surfaces there are around the place, especially in the west, the better off the football community will be.

I'd rather see $2.2m put towards a GWS team


the money is only being offered by the libs to secure votes in what will be three very closely fought electorates.

in saying that, not sure if youre aware, but big barry has already pledged to provide significant funding to the new FNSW HQ at Riverstone. That's very positive and you never know, those facilities might be used as a base for any new GWS team.
