BankWest Stadium 🏟

[ElleryHanley]

It is Parra stadium, we all know it.

We have PTSD from playing at this place already. Please can we scrap the idea of this being another home ground!

😂

 

[rah53]

Bankwest is a curse! Why can't we just have Leichhardt & Campbelltown as our home grounds? Revenue aside, why do we have to have one of the bigger stadiums as a home ground?

@851 yes one home ground but I will not hold my breath .... to be honest I am over the issue just select one!!! If Bankwest is not good enough for Tigers supporters just go to one of the others ...as at it stands our club is a joke ... time for the club to select One of the grounds ! they have to grow a set full stop!

@851 it is as much a fortress as the other 5 home grounds.

No it's not, our record there is disgraceful, but you are right we need one home ground not 5, time to make a call on that I reckon

Said every fan for the last 20 seasons

Yet those in charge know better

We've got a new homeground up our sleeve

Carnac Island off the WA coast

The bonus is if we don't play well the other Tigers on the island will have a field day

You could really fix your roster up overnight

For those who don't know Carnac Island is a 19 hectare rock off the WA coast that people are actually banned from going on

Has approximately 30 Tiger Snakes per hectare

That suggestion is arguably the best of tonight

First time there. Great stadium. They seem organised there and Tigers and Raiders fans certainly parted with plenty of cash in the Eels League club before and after the game which I'm sure the eels greatly appreciate.
Just doesn't feel like home though. Not yet anyway. But that will change when or if they win a game there. The Raiders fans who turned up there tonight owned our new 'jungle'. There was no atmosphere there at all apart from that created by the Raiders fans. After the Women's game a lady came on to sing to a mostly empty stadium then 30 minutes of watching the tigers warm up in the dressing room on the screens. The halftime entertainment was good but for the effort they went to, I'm assuming they thought a lot more people would turn up.

Our record there, 2 losses 0 wins, 6 points for 79 against, what a fortress for us

At least it's a great ground to watch footy...:white_frowning_face:

 

[innsaneink]

Very disappointed in the poor crowd... 12k means about 8 or 9 WTs fans ( being generous)
Very indicative of where this club is right now.

My partner is Asian only been watching NRL a few years, even she can see how crap we are... "why they not pass yhe ball More... Jut one pass... One pass.... Easy for canberra?"
"they very slow"

It was like men against boys... They bashed us in defense.as.we.made.itnsomessy for. Them. With one out boring nothing.

Bumped into a forum member who travelled from Brisbane to view that garbage... We deserve and expect better or people just won't show up anymore

Hmmm....79 - 6 so far at Bank West. One try in 160 minutes. Me thinks it's not gonna be a fortress.

 

[Snake]

I had such high hopes about the vision of our club taking the next step to being one of the premier clubs in our city . But I now agree that the club itself and the majority of its supporters do deserve to play out of antiquated suburban grounds as stadiums like BankWest are reserved for premier franchises . Enjoy the other 5 grounds while you can as it is not going to last to long into the future!

 

[Furious1]

I don't think it's going to be a place on a weeknight that attracts big crowds unless the team is flying. Day games on weekends could be a different story. Have to say though, if the Stadium in the city is built like this one only bigger, then i'd be shipping the SOO there, because full with one - eyed supporters, it would go off.

Yep, my daughter went with her boyfriend who is a raiders supporter last night, said it was a great spot to watch the footy, I stayed home, I said I am not paying to watch this side anymore until they offer something better, glad I didn't make the trip.

Today's headline should be

Tigers unable to make a withdrawal at WankBest.

First experience of the stadium last night and I may be in the minority, but I was quite underwhelmed. The seating was good, but it may be just because of the poor atmosphere but the stadium didn't feel very special at all.

Firstly the lighting is going to take some getting used to, it is always in the eyeline and can be distracting.
The Corporate section completely takes away any real chance for a great surround atmosphere, looking across at it all night made the stadium feel even more empty than it was.

Then there was the poor effort at making the stadium feel like a home ground for us. The intros for the team felt generic and the lack of using the LED banners was atrocious. The club really need someone who can create these and have something more than a plain WT on a black or orange background and a black and white piece of the logo appear. These banners can easily be incorporated into the prematch (the Eels do it) but not utilising them just makes it seem like we are playing there as a neutral team.

Maybe if the atmosphere was better then I would have felt better about the stadium, but at the moment it is nothing more than a generic ground that may have decent seats but not much else.

@TIGER Nothing in the bank for Tigers.

 

[Snake]

@Craegus Maybe if the club actually had an NRL standard team things might be different, but now I do agree with most that Campbelltown and Leichhardt ovals do represent where and what our club actual is because BankWest stadium is way out of our league maybe someday .
