Could ENGIE Stadium Homebush be a option? no one plays there and we wouldn't be stepping on any others clubs toes.

The seats are super close to the oval and the ground has a inner west feel to it. Engie stadium will be buzzing during the Easter show period and maybe fans will buy more west tigers merch from the NRL merch stand. I'm sure theres more corporate seats then ctown or Lcart. And parking will be easy too. Close to where wests tigers train, closer to there leagues club and there junior clubs, then Parramatta which has a giant Parramatta eels sign out the front of it.

Birchgrove has two fields and no parking
Pratten has one field and even less parking
Closest BJRL club to Ashfield is Five Dock & Concord/Burwood...not needed

Both are great historic fields, and keeps a connection to the western suburbs past, Pratten park atleast next to Ashfield train station. And can park at the Woolies in Ashfield and walk across to the oval. Pratten park is a better field then Concord or five dock, I play in the seniors comp and we constantly have to play at blackmore oval every second week and I'm sick of it, something different would be cool.
 
Don’t think pratten park has been used for rugby league on any level in a long time. Isn’t it a cricket ground now anyway? Either way we’ll just be even more backwards than we currently are playing at Lidcombe.

True hasn't been used for a long time, but Pratten park and Lidcombe I think would be good for the junior league and the very lower grades men's league comps, i think NSW cup magpies should play at the Concord Centre of excellence atleast get it's moneys worth, of the 78million that was spent on it.

All they care about is making sure they get to play at Lidcombe. They won’t even consider playing at pratten park or birchgrove no matter what grade. If Lidcombe was first grade standard they would 100% be wanting all our home games there.

It amazes me there were ever games there to begin with. The capacity must be 7 or 8 thousand. The grandstand is a matchbox.

I don't like any of your ideas, for starters all the grades should be called Wests Tigers we have been the merged team for 26 years it's time to drop the dinosaur clubs influence, all the younger supporters don't give a rat's arse about the previous clubs and they are the future.

All grades under 1st grade should be played at Cambo or LO for gawds sake, grow up playing at 1st grade's home grounds so by the time they get their 1st grade shot they know every blade of grass on it.

Time to stop catering to a handful of old farts who probably won't see beyond the next 20 years, a decaying old supporter base should have no influence.

I'm agree with you for all the teams to be called wests tigers and for them to be played at ctown or The concord Centre of excellence , cause 78 mil was spent on it, Im talking more about using Lidcombe oval for the junior league cause I don't think it's good enough for the new cup team.

To me Lidcombe oval is on parr with Pratten park as they are both too old and not good enough for NSW CUP and should be used for the junior league, and the NSW CUP team plays at the concord Centre of excellence to to get there moneys worth of the 78 mill that was spent on it.

Still don't like it, minor grades need to be played at LO as well, you can't leave it out to cater for inferior grounds.

Again that won’t happen. Our owners want our cup side only playing at Lidcome for home games with the occasional game at Campbelltown. But I guarantee if they could they’d have every home game in every grade at Lidcombe.

You don't reckon the COE is better then LO?

Having lived at Caves Beach for the last 30 years I wouldn't have a clue what the COE ground looks like.

If you are suggesting it to be more modern, I get your argument, but LO is about to be upgraded.

Playing minor grade games away from the top two just splits up the supporter base it would probably attract more Magpies jerseys than Wests Tigers, only use the main grounds is my solution.

I’ve gone past it a few times when I’ve gone to LO to watch us play. The ground itself is ok it’s not exactly breathtaking even LO in its current state I would say is better.

But I agree our lower grade games should be played at either LO or Campbelltown. If I was in charge I would make a day of it, I’d change our cup side back to Wests Tigers, have Flegg, Cup and NRL played all on the same day at the same ground.
