COMMIT TO CAMPBELLTOWN!

It's still a shithole.

If more fans would be willing to attend when they play there than maybe it would be an option.

You mean The ones that go to LO but don't go to CSS?

It is still more about which corporates would be happy to entertain clients there etc.

The corporate dollar is the main determining factor - and the big end of town has no interest in establishing a significant footprint in the Macarthur region.

But does the big end of town have any interest in Wests Tigers ?

Should have been just that from Day 1.

Should have been just that from Day 1.

And where would that have been in 2000? It could never have happened with the merge. HOwever, it should have been aspired to as a target for 2010

I would be more than happy with 1 home ground regarless of where it is, CS, LO, Lismore. As long as it's east coast. (Sorry WA fans)
We are scattered all over the place.
To me a home ground is where you can build from the grass roots up.
Just because we go to a place, say Lismore, doesn't mean we forget or lose our past.
Put it this way, if we played somewhere different to LO or CS from 2005 I doubt that this topic would get much forum time. Eventually kids growing up going to the one ground wouldn't care too much. They would care about an army of white, black and gold out numbering the opposition at the home ground and having a good time.
All teams play at the big grounds anyway. Just because we have so many home games doesn't mean we are going to play them at home.
A very debatable topic that upsets both tiger and magpie fans alike.
I'll leave it there, I don't want to get in trouble again 🙂

Just bite the fn bullet... If people walk so be it... Follow the club not.the ground, look to the future not the past

I think if we were to move away from our traditional venues, some members would inevitably leave but of lot of them would most likely get over it and start supporting again.
I would love to know how many magpie and tiger supporters threw the towel in 2004 but now are supporting them again regardless of 05 success.

Many many left in 99.
Nothing lasts forever... It took me a few years to regain interest but I did... Do what's best for the club instead of living in fear of upsetting a few which is what we've done for 22 years

Not under this dickhead CEO!

But we need to ensure they do - or we have no future!!

Grass roots supprters do not fund clubs!

Campbelltown makes sense grab the south west , I’m an old Balmain guy and love Leichhardt but if it don’t fit move on , it took a long time to get over the joint venture but we are Wests Tigers , get our own home ground
