Balmain Leagues Club

If Flemington becomes a wests tigers club it should hold post game function if its big enough and we move back to a refurbished ANZ

We need to abandon Bankwest as pre and post game we are just lining up the pockets of Parramatta Eels Leagues club

Looking at google maps Leichardt to Balmain leagues was 2.1km while ANZ to Flemington is 2.2km roughly same distance.

It’ll be perfect when we become a regular top 4 power club !
 
Wont be too big when we start averaging 20-30k

Anz will have a 48k intimate mode which hopefully make more atmosphere

We need to aim to fill it.

Still less than half full for majority of games even in intimate mode!

That is quite odd hey, I like it though ! Lol you can see there is differing rules for us literally from the way they’ve spelled the side’s name on their official app that millions currently use or get free through Telstra - nek Minnut we’ll have people asking “what happened to the Tigers?”

Maybe Roy Masters is responsible?

Big potential there at Flemington.
 
Well said @diedpretty and thank you for the passion you have shown.
Good ol' Cochise ripped into me when he read something he didn't appreciate, but that's how he operates [by overreacting].
In support of my post that started all this outpouring of emotion in support of the joint venture I state...I never said I was against the JV and I never said I was against having the Tiger as our emblem.
In fact, I have referred to 'Our West's Tigers' in many previous posts.
In one of my earliest posts though [only a few months ago], I reminded someone? the name of our Club was West's Tigers after he/she referred to us as 'The Tigers'.
You are certainly correct re "the lack of recognition that Wests are part of the JV", my feelings exactly.
The only thing that I have asked for is that Campbelltown is 'seriously' considered as Our home ground, as it just makes sense.
We move into a new and exciting, rapidly expanding part of Sydney.
At the moment We are stuck in a Very congested part of Sydney and Need to relocate to Campbelltown otherwise we may find ourselves being relocated to somewhere worse.
Again I agree with you diedpretty. Leichhardt Oval is no longer suitable as Our home ground as quite simply it will not hold the massive increase in Our fans attending Our games in the very near future and it needs too many $$$ spent on it to bring it up an acceptable standard.
 
@MAGPIES1963 Simple question for you old mate, would your preference be to stay as the Wests Tigers or to see the return of the Wests Magpies?

Wests own the club?
 
Seriously @cochise: have a few deep breaths and settle down, read my post again, then, if you can't come up with the answer to your question it's due to you having tunnel vision.
 
@MAGPIES1963 If you would prefer the Wests Tigers to remain over the return of the Wests Magpies then I am happy to apologise and say I read too much into your posts. I have been a member of the various versions of this website for a long long time and we have had many people arguing for the return of either Balmain or the Magpies since time began. To me that is unacceptable as they are arguing to take my club away and I already went through the pain of our merger and fully embraced my new team.
 
@MAGPIES1963 but Leichhardt and Campbelltown have the same capacity? A lot needs to fall in place for it to be possible, but I still think the best way forward is 6 games at both. Whether or not it will ever be possible will depend on investment from government, a leagues club at Rozelle and for Wests Campbelltown to re-affiliate.

Can't see it happening. I would think we will move most home games to a revamped ANZ and probably 1 each at LO and CSS and possibly 1 in the country. There really is no reason if we can become a consistent top 8 side that we wouldn't pull at least 25k to home games at ANZ.

There is no evidence to support this!
