Wests Tigers Home Ground Mega Thread

[BAGNF05]

Tigers have played 46 home regular season games at Accor stadium with an average crowd of 22,532. We can never get that at Leichhardt

That stat Is dramatically over inflated as a result of Easter Monday games.

Politics . It’s a safe seat for labour . They won’t spend the money . There’s nothing in it for them .
So much for looking out for your constituents. Thanks Albo …..

Ground funding is mainly a state government thing and Balmain is a solid Greens seat.

Buzz and Hooper can talk crap all they want, Richo isn't listening.

He'll listen to the members.

He wants to grow our membership numbers, that won't happen by relocating us to white elephants that have been tried and failed before.

Unless a new stadium is suddenly getting built in a Magical.location we only have Leichhardt Campbelltown,and we need these grounds developed

I'm not sure he'll listen to members either.

He said, he’ll listen but if it’s not going to help grow the club into a successful one he’ll make the right calls to do that. He’s not about winning popularity contests.

We need Leichhardt to be developed like Brookie was, a new grandstand that connects to a new western grandstand. With the hill and Keith Barnes stands remaining. More toilets, a lot more corporate space, more food and beverage facilities and more undercover seats.

As someone else said, no point spending millions to put lipstick on a pig, we need a knockdown rebuild to bring real change to the ground.

Playing in empty stadiums with few members doesn't grow the club. We'll be smaller if anything

That’s not his end game mate. He’s using the media for good.

What people need to understand is this is out of Richos hands… LO needs millions of dollars of upgrades which no club on its own has the funds for & it looks like the government won’t be helping out either. Nothing else can be done.

Gotta break some eggs to make an omelette.

He ain't perfect but a 1000 times better than Pascoe.

In 3 months there's so much stability and common sense

with souths and Penrith he wasn't dealing with fans from a joint venture he had souths and Penrith.
He better be moving all games to Accor then and not just the LO ones.

If you buy the club membership for $75 and grab a jersey you get $50 store credit plus 10% off your jersey. The membership pays for itself. No excuse if you’re a fan buying a jersey not to get it via a club membership. Richo isn’t asking anyone to go broke. Get behind the bloke.

at Accor next year you wont need a membership you can just walk up plenty of seats will be available

 

[ROZELLE.O.G]

He's gonna piss quite a few fans off but he's here to change things not kick the can down the street for another 25 years.

I agree, I'm still not sure if Richo is trying to bluff the powers that be in the govt to try to try and get funding for Leichhardt. I hope they get funding for it, in hindsight if they do end moving to an Accor or CommBank I wish they had Leichhardt as there Centre of Excellence, I know the Concord site is run by Canada Bay Council and rugby West Harbour still have a say in its running. Leichhardt could've been utilised for something.

ACCOR Is Hombush right???

I think it's a little to big.

He was on the news last night saying Leichhardt needs funding. It’s not a subtle play 😂
