$50 Million reason Wests Tigers are prepared to quit Campbelltown.

[Lestronge]

I'm just going to say this once.

It's a win for the club. $50m on a stadium, great.

It's a massive loss for Western Sydney.
Were dying in peak hour, our roads are utter nightmares in peak time.
Our schools still have Boiling hot demountables. No study, no Future when your sweating it out.
A local footy field, Basketball court without the ring smashed in or park gym would be money way better spent.

Yet again, Western sydney is the last Bloody place to get upgraded!

Great work Barry O'farrell, Richo and all the WT. I mean it's a win for the club...
I won't say it's money well spent.

they come from 2 separate budgets. investment in things like football stadia generates income and stirs the economy, because let's face it how many people would normally get out to places like Campbelltown.
1 has zero to do with the other .
schools is out of a completely different budget again. really blame the wealthy private schools who dominate the grants from the goverment and funding.
no disrespect , but its a pretty ignorant comment .
also thats your rates as well. also the school has to simply get better at navigating the system and funding .

I heard 22k but I'm not sure. The LO info is spot on though

Well that’s good if it does go to 20k capacity. Guess we’ll find out more about Campbelltown once it gets closer.

Yes, with Easter Monday at a venue nsw venue.

i got the impression that they might alternate magic round with our turn to host easter monday . So basically 1 cash grab a year.

The fans and members will always be there.

What are we trying to achieve by playing more games at Campbelltown? Perhaps that is where the discussion should start.

Simply stating the old lines of Campbelltown is our future and Campbelltown is a growth area doesn't cover the question. Crowds have not grown there in 20 years.

Interested to hear @BZN thoughts on this after being critical of the tactics Richo used.

Seriously?

Must admit not a big fan of Cambo.
If you can’t get locals there, which hasn’t worked for 20 years, it’s clear people don’t want to travel.
Plus… our win percentage there is rubbish which is another nail in the coffin.

Well the fans don't go to Campbelltown in the same volume as Leichhardt...what is the objective though?...why does 8 games at Campbo make sense above a 6/6 split?

Are we going to push this population growth area trope? The region has been growing for 20 years and there is no year on year crowd growth to speak of.

I reckon you'd get more tribalism and turnout at Lidcombe and I'd fully support that move.
