For the first time on the ET Stand, Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks Chairman Steve Mace joins Boldo for an extensive and remarkably candid conversation about the past, present and future of the Sharks.
With the new Leagues Club about to open, Steve takes us behind the scenes of the club's extraordinary journey since 2018, from salary cap troubles, mounting financial losses and uncertainty about the club's future to rebuilding the organisation into a financially sustainable football business.
And we tackle the question Sharks fans have been asking for years: WHERE DID ALL THE MONEY FROM THE WOOLOOWARE DEVELOPMENT GO?
Steve explains the original property deal, the historical debts and financial losses, the missing sunset clause that complicated the Leagues Club redevelopment, and the difficult decisions required to get the new club built.
We also dig into the future of Shark Park, including previous government funding opportunities, why the stadium hasn't been upgraded, the immediate improvements being pursued and the ambitious long-term redevelopment plans that could transform the Sharks' spiritual home.
Other major talking points include:
It's a rare opportunity to hear directly from the man leading the Sharks board, understand the decisions being made behind the scenes and explore some of the biggest questions facing our club.
An essential listen for Sharks supporters who want to understand not just where the club is going, but how we got here.
