South Sydney pulling Allianz Stadium away from Olympic Park

Fresh twist in Allianz Stadium tug of war

Roosters coach Trent Robinson has emphasized that despite other teams playing at Allianz Stadium, it is the Roosters' true home.

This comes as reports suggest that South Sydney Rabbitohs are in talks to move from Olympic Park to Moore Park, with the aim of playing at Allianz Stadium as early as next year.

The Rabbitohs are currently locked into an agreement to play at Accor Stadium until 2030, but are looking to renegotiate due to the lack of government investment in improving the Olympic venue.

Souths officials met with NSW Premier Chris Minns to explore the possibility of returning to Moore Park, which they believe to be Sydney's best venue.

The Roosters have solidified their claim to Allianz Stadium by housing their centre of excellence within the venue, with a visible sign outside asserting their ownership of the turf.

The Waratahs and Sydney FC also call Allianz Stadium their home ground, but the Roosters are clear in their stance that they are the primary occupants of the venue.

This development adds a new twist to the ongoing battle over Allianz Stadium, with multiple teams vying for control and recognition within the iconic Sydney venue.

The potential move by the Rabbitohs raises questions about the future landscape of sports in Sydney, as different clubs seek to secure the best facilities for their games.

The negotiations between the Rabbitohs and the government highlight the complexities of venue agreements and the importance of strategic planning for sporting teams.

As the tug-of-war over Allianz Stadium continues, the Roosters remain steadfast in their belief that the venue is truly their home, despite the presence of other teams and the potential for future changes in occupancy.
