It's a horrible position for us because we did believe a new stadium would be beneficial, but not at the price of our clubs. So I promise you we'll fight hard to put an end to a new stadium. Not going anywhere: the Waratahs have vowed to fight any move away from Moore Park. Credit:Mark Kolbe "We're fiercely opposed to the decision the premier has announced. We're talking about 80,000 fans a week turning up to support the three clubs playing and we've just been given the finger. It's pushing us into a situation now where we're having to turn against a new stadium." Roosters chairman Nick Politis is furious with the deception and is adamant the NRL club wouldn't support the knock down and rebuild of their home ground.

"No way," Politis told Fairfax Media when asked if he would support a stadium on the existing site. "We'd be crazy. It would put us back God knows how many years." Sydney FC officials believe they wouldn't be able to recover if forced to relocate to ANZ Stadium or Kogarah, especially at a time when Football Federation Australia is are looking to introduce a southern Sydney team into the A-League.

"No one has ever spoken to us about a plan B. We haven't even thought about where we might go," Davis said. "We just signed a 16-year contract, and now you're telling me for 25 per cent of that period we don't know where we're going to play. It'll cost the government a lot in compensation. But how do you compensate for the end of a club or the destruction of a club? "We wouldn't have signed up for 16 years if we knew we would only be there for 12. We were assured by everyone that the existing stadium would continue, and we would have lived with the revamp while we were playing, but not a total pull down that casts us into the wilderness." The three clubs issued a joint statement on Monday night. "The damage that would be caused to the three clubs would extend well-beyond the four year construction period, as it would take many years to fully recover and would require major levels of compensation for impacted clubs," the statement said.
