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

some of us older folks just don't like the technical calida scope the new world order. Life was more pleasant in black n white
Did you ever see a Magpies premiership in your lifetime?

I'd be happy to just go back 20 years - NOT to when both Balmain and Wests were also rans every year!

Maybe it wasn't better back in the day in retrospect - and surely the perpetual participation award is no longer what even @BZN would want in his twilight years!

There’s plenty of representation for the Magpies in the JV, in fact (not to sound mean to Magpies fans) there’s probably too much of it. I get they own 90% of the JV but the ones that say there isn’t enough are full of it.

We play at Campbelltown and soon will be playing more games there once it’s renovated and some Magpies fans go on like Campbelltown was the original home ground of the club when we all know it wasn’t. Each WT jersey has 3 Magpies on the jersey 2 on the sleeves and 1 on the back of the neck. Our black and white jersey is predominantly more of a tie to the Magpies I know it has a little orange on it but it’s more of a tie to them, as is our orange and black jersey to Balmain it doesn’t have that much white on it. We play under the Magpies banner in NSW Cup after 25 years we should be playing under Wests Tigers maybe one day we will but for now it’s Magpies. We also still play and without a doubt its most famous ground for them at Lidcombe Oval. Granted it’s only for the kids sides and not for first grade, but we still use it. And to top it off we are called Wests Tigers it has Wests in the bloody name. I know commentators will say Tigers or the Tigers majority of the time but it’s still in the name, hell we are the only club when you check the ladder that says Wests Tigers. All the other clubs will just say Eels, Storm etc but we go under Wests Tigers even the Dragons on the damn thing just say Dragons it doesn’t say their full name on it.

I can’t think of any other way to increase the Magpies representation it already has way too much.
good point we are the only.club when it is a ladder of mascots we for some reason say wests tigers as opposed to just tigers as St George say dragons, parramatta say eels bulldogs roosters etc.
the reserve.grade as.wests magpies is the most baffling, after 25 years it should be wests tigers

The club from its merger should have put out a statement that in 3 years all teams will unify under the WestsTigers banner
 
Well i am 58 years old and love watch West Tigers play even if it is Campbelltown or Leichhardt i do not care for the Balman or West side i just care how the club performs and the direction it is now heading in. This club has a large catchment area in Campbelltown/Group 6 they need to keep on developing they have areas around Balmain they need doing a better job at.
