The argument for fully embracing the Macarthur as home for the Wests Tigers.

We are not a second Parramatta club

But we'll always be behind Parramatta becuase they have much more resources than us, so we must find ways of making more money and Combank is one way.

We really don't have a choice.

And anyway, we've beaten them a few times at Combank

What about Sydney showground stadium?
Could the wests tigers get a big WT Logo and get put up like the eels /wanders logos out the front of CommBank ? So it feels more like our territory?

I understand what you mean but I don't think it has the corporate facilities like Commbank and the viewing isn't great

Ive watched cricket there and monster truck shows during Easter show season , and it's closure to the action then Accor and we aren't stepping on any other NRL clubs toes

Cricket is supposed to be played on an oval, Rugby League is played on a rectangular field. Playing Rugby League on an oval results in the crowd being too far from tyr field.

If it’s just about getting the dollars …what’s the difference ? It’s only for one of the 4 or 5 games next year …the others will be played at Parramatta still

The deal is with Venues NSW … do they care which stadium it’s at ?

You would rather have a “home” game at Parramatta where the majority is cheering the opposition?

If we get to the game then the majority will be cheering for us.
 
I only sit in gold seating at combank looking into the sun for day games
I would play at Accor any day as preference over parramatta's home ground for parramatta games

That place is soulless.

Not ideal that all the Corporate areas at CommBank are on the western side and club member sit on Eastern side.

However, I have been to a few games there and the atmosphere was excellent.

I am taking my kids to the Tonga vs Samoa game next weekend and I bet it isn’t soulless

Yeah you're right, the Easter game would need a bigger ground than Commbank could hold, so it should be Accor.

And play the other games at Commbank.

Make the most of the possible revenue available & experience and play Parra at a neutral ground
