Club Ownership

[Spacks]

"In 2010 the club’s owners (Peter Turnbull, Lyall Gorman and Mike Charlesworth) bought a parcel of land at Tuggerah on the Central Coast from a local RSL club for $7.5m with $4.5m paid upfront. The initial intention was for the land to host a club training base and for the land surrounding the base to be developed. The Centre of Excellence has since seen the establishment of social and commercial property with the help of a $10m Government grant.

In 2022 Richard Peil, took majority ownership of the club with Michael Charlesworth retaining a minority ownership of the club. Michael Charlesworth also retained full ownership of the Mariners Centre of Excellence in Tuggerah. The Mariner’s Centre of Excellence as a result still houses the team, but it is not actually owned by the club.

Unfortunately initial development plans including a small stadium did not come to be, and the CoE now only boasts one full sized pitch, one slightly smaller pitch and a training building."

Sadly not news.
I think Turnbulls original vision was to build something like say Wanderers and City have.
Not for us though

Turnbull was also building one for Football NSW. A replacement for Valentine Park. He had bought the land near a proposed Metro station (Vineyard I believe) that would have come through Parramatta. When the Liberals came in at state level they changed the route to suit their developers. Part of why his companies went south with the GFC.

Turnbull was on track but as you say the global financial crisis f**ked him. He had all his eggs in a development on the Gold Coast.

Tis always difficult not knowing anything other than what horse told the jockey and the jockey told me.

Would just be nice to hear something from the club
