How does a $300m stadium with a decent elevation fail to cope with a weeks worth of rain into Parramatta river?

I don’t recall the old stadium ever having such a problem.

I’d love to get Flytox’s opinion if he was still active on here

The pitch has been in a terrible state for the last few months tbh, complaints about the surface at most games. This has nothing to do with the Parramatta River, which would never impact the stadium even at its highest flood level.

It's not the stadium that can't cope.

It's the drainage from the stadium to the water system. The entire water table in Parramatta is flooded.

Begs the question if it will be right by Saturday. I wonder if they would move the game?

The Women's game is possibly going to move to the Blacktown Facility tomorrow night.

I've just read it's behind closed doors at Commbank tomorrow night. Or is your comment more up to date?

I may have misinterpreted regarding the location now that I think about it.

Just for context, Melb City Women are supposed to be playing a catch up game against Newcastle in Melbourne tomorrow night.

Stands packed today.

Unfortunately, for an NRL game Parramatta v Tigers

Yep. Watching as well. This should be us if our management hadn't been so shite for the past 6 seasons.

And, the pitch looks absolutely shite.

Yep. 

Football/ NRL/Thugby can't coexist in the winter season at Commbank Stadium

Yeah I was there. Good atmosphere even though it was NRL and the chants are mind numbing in their simplicity... Great to see the ground best part of full, makes you realise how far we have fallen.

Seriously hope we can get back to that level at some stage. But no confidence ATM. Prove me wrong Wanderers!

Been a few weeks I’m afraid. First time I’ve missed multiple home games since the club was started. Of course mid week games make it harder too with work.

Took my aunt who is a diehard Eels supporter and that was main reason I went to the NRL. Although I do go occasionally with different people. Can be a good way to catch up with friends and family I haven’t seen for a while.
