Roosters Centre of Excellence

[King Salvo]

I feel like property prices are a barrier. While I spent a heap of my childhood living in Paddington (which will never be as expensive as most of the eastern suburbs... it's still the poor man's part of the east), I've never been able to find work let alone housing in Sydney.

Maybe one day but my wife and I have settled in Canberra. We bought a house for $400k (I kept my little $300k apartment at the time) and after paying off both we renovated our home + bought a few townhouses in inner-suburbs. Houses on our street (smaller + unrenovated) now sell for $1.5m+ and apartments in that block sell for roughly $600k. Most of our townhouses would be worth $800k+ now. I'm personally very glad that we were able to access this market and have a comfortable mode of living.

TBH we'd need to sell all our property and both get significant pay bumps in order to move to Sydney (anywhere - not just the eastern suburbs). I love Sydney (and we own a little 1 storey terrace in Surry Hills that I inherited) but right now I think the closest I'll get to living there is the occasional visit to see family and/or footy. I doubt my salary (or appetite for borrowing money) will ever match an eastern suburbs lifestyle.

Guessing this is just how it is though. We don't have to live somewhere to back the footy team. Arguably our Sydney property's in Souffs territory as it's Surry Hills (Taylor Square end though, so access to everything I knew as a kid). Meh. I don't really know or care. IMO Souffs don't really exist as a territory... it's a bit of a myth that Redfern and Waterloo were ever are a breeding ground for junior footy players IMO. Maroubra, Coogee, Randwick...etc are all the eastern suburbs that Souffs seem to think they own (at least we seem to have kept them outta Coogee for now).

Coogee is Vermin Area- Coogee Dolphins(were a Roosters Junior club but switched to be a Vermin one) and Coogee-Randwick Wombats as is Randwick and Maroubra - the Great Thefts of the 1910's/1930's/1950's.

Jack Coote (Ron's Dad) was living in Kingsford in the 1930's which was Chooks area and played for the Chooks - Ron Living in the same house in Kingsford when he started playing Kingsford was Vermin area

I don't think the Chooks nowadays would have juniors from Point Piper/Rose Bay/Watsons Bay/Double Bay/Vaucluse/Dover Heights.Bellevue Hills/Potts Point/Kings Cross/Darlinghurst/Rushcutters Bay/Elizabeth Bay/Darling Point/Edgecliff though

Time the Greater Sydney Boundaries were re-drawn taking into account the wrongs from the past and the urban sprawl as well

Good points King. I'm sick of us having to recruit our locals primarily from Lady Jane Beach.
