“Fortress Leichhardt

@hobbo1 maybe the 30 or 40 sharks supporters who make the trip will wear the masks.

Brookvale Oval was always touted as
“Fortress Brookvale “

It's been changed to Cesspool Asbestos..

I still reckon Greenberg crept aorund at night like the Grinch sprinkling asbestos around the ground to rob all the little who-vians of the northern beaches of their home semi

As far as Im concerned ...Liechardt oval is our JUNGLE,besides Tigers,Magpies and Galahs...you get all sorts of animals there ,on and off the field...

I love it...its a great place to watch the footy at...don't care if they call it a fortress or not...

Leichhardt has never been a fortress...

You could always say Leichhardt gave us a 10 point home ground advantage but them days are long past .

Leichhardt = Boutique suburban ground

Yep, that's true. In Balmain's last season they went something like 8/12 at home and 0/12 away. But you're right that it hasn't been much of a fortress lately. i think part of that is because we use it so sparingly. The magic of Leichhardt isn't really about winning games, though I still feel it's a massive advantage, it's about the fan experience. It sucks that we lost with such a vocal crowd, but it's always a brilliant atmosphere at Leichhardt and is a special experience for Tigers fans. Needs to be used more, along with Campbelltown.

I love Leichhardt. Been going there for years. Was lucky enough to play there on a few occasions. It’s in my blood. But let’s not fool ourselves. We sell it out now because it is an event. I’ve been there many times when only 5 or 6 thousand are there. Not so awesome then. Love it, should be cherished, remembered and celebrated- but also used sparingly

I was so hoping we’d be playing at Brookvale ...
We could’ve all wore dust masks ?

get rid of the “Fortress Leichhardt “ mentality, from a Wests Tigers point of view ,it should be renamed “Fortress Chokehardt”, no home ground advantage at all.

Not so sure about that mate , the boys also copped some shabby ref decisions, penalty on h/time after Nofa fought 2 of them off , no penalty for shoulder charge , no penalty for pushing a player in back when morris scores , and the penalty on Brooks after Nikora troed to steamroll him

I miss 2019, so much promise for 2020

Leichhardt, Campbelltown and ANZ are all good grounds. We should be satisfied with these as they are located in the districts the Club encompasses. I have never considered Leichhardt Oval a fortress.
