24.01.2022 RICHO UPDATE We are waiting on a response from the Heritage Council - surely there will not be a bulldozer sent in or a contract let before we get a response - ...currently according the the phone message the Chair of the Heritage Council is on leave - due back in mid August - the minister is quoted saying the final decision is up to her and until the Heritage Council meet things are going ahead as planned - Surely not !!!!! Quote:There isn’t provisional protection over that site until the Heritage Council makes a recommendation :Minister Moss The new grandstand building was designed by Colless and Finch and built by Multiplex 25 years ago- I bet multiplex are not to happy to hear their building has supposed concrete cancer -???? #rebuildrichardsonpark

21.01.2022 This is worth fighting for From that to this is a crime

21.01.2022 RICHARDSON PARK: There's been a bid to save Richardson Park, with supporters lodging an application to heritage list the facility. But the Government is standing firm behind its new home for rugby league.

21.01.2022 Great turn out today for the Peaceful rally in support of Richardson park remaining as A rugby league ground with a grandstand to boot Thank you to all who attended and judging by your comments you would love to be back here

20.01.2022 Rex Edmonds wrote Visited the new "home of rugby league" on Saturday - never in my life have I been in such a shit viewing area as the top floor - bar. Richard...son Park went to the expense of reinforced glass wings to annul the need of aluminium mullions and built a step down area whereby everyone can see - Marrarra there are 9 maybe 12 spots to sit with noses against the windows where one can see the whole paddock. Once again the whole deal is a travesty, and Paddy Illidge tells me the main protagonist has sold up and is leaivng the Territory- the main one besides the NT Govt. that is. See more

16.01.2022 #rebuildrichardsonpark Your place - your game - our history. Richardson Park is the historical spiritual home of rugby league. Your DNA is entrenched in the gro...und and the stand. Great friendships have been made there and great footballers came from there. The tenders have now closed and 4 companies have tendered to DEMOLISH our Rugby League Spiritual Home. You have shown your support by sharing this group to your friends - some of you attended our Peaceful Rally on Sunday 28th - some of your have written wonderful stories about you and your families association to the ground and stand. This historical site needed to be kept in the manner it deserves. WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE DEMOLISHED TO CREATE JOBS ????????????? WHY DOES IT NEED TO BE A COMMUNITY SPACE - IT ALREADY IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RESIDENTS WILL STILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS IT AS THEY DID BEFORE. THE ROAD CAN STILL GO TO THE SCHOOL !!!!!!!!! #rebuildrichardsonpark AND you are still creating jobs !! AND you are still allowing residents to use it - and you are preserving the TRUE Home of Rugby League SAVE IT See more

15.01.2022 You be the judge A group of residents opposed any plans for Richardson Park Versus A group representing two Darwin clubs with a support base of 1000’s - wanting a home base for their juniors women and senior players !! A rugby league academy to engage youth back into sport with mentoring and guidance. Who got the nod ?... The residents or the two clubs? The residents all 6 of them - of course Then had the cheek to celebrate with a glass of red on the Brothers hill https://www.richardsonpark.org/ See more

14.01.2022 The evidence that no one wants to know about - Trevor Graetz found the fuel can and lighter at the arson scene. So imagine the up roar if it happened to the Hun...ter Harrison Stand at Gardens Oval Which I believe are 25+ years older than the grand stand at Richardson Park - funny how that has survived after AFLNT had to go to Marrara !!!!!!! and became the home for Waratahs ?? - must have better concrete in those days See more

13.01.2022 This is one of our first posts regarding #saverichardsonpark back in 2015 The support from you all has been wonderful Interestingly the main protagonist agains...t Richardson Park Mr Brad ?? has sold up and left town !!!!!!!

09.01.2022 This Gov - the arrogance may be its downfall !! Never listens to anyone 1000’s want to keep it - 1 wants to bulldoze it - to keep the electorate happy

08.01.2022 SAT at Richardson Park It would be just fantastic to hear the siren ring and games on The Shad would have this tree done and dusted We want to come home !!!!...! Brothers and Nightcliff’s fully costed proposal with a business plan into the future - not relying on the NT Gov and the NRL - consisting of 5 of Darwin’s most prominent business man with the backing of some of the major developers in the territory would have been up and running by now and a show piece including a men’s shed and a NRL Academy in conjunction with the school to boost its numbers Thanks to mainly two people Nigel Roy and Steve Nugent white anting the project in favour of the Mararra debacle - which has ended up a South Darwin sporting body complex fully funded by the NT government. I would like to have Michael Gunner playing again for Nightcliff Dragons he has developed the best side step I have seen in any politician in the last 50 years Stem Frustrated Life Member of I don’t know what !!

04.01.2022 When is arson not arson - or criminal activity -perhaps when it comes to Richardson Park. Who actually drives around with a jerry can of fuel to deliberately set fire to something and crash through a fence to do it ??????

03.01.2022 Well done Richo friends #rebuildrichardsonpark Still may fall on painted ears #rebuildrichardsonpark

02.01.2022 I wonder if taxpayers have been slugged for the production of this signage by our federal member???? This is how the Gunner Government consults by bully boy tactics.
