Bite the bullet, just do it WT

Sfs, no way, we struggle enough with our identity. I would not mind a couple of games there a year but why not offer $50 family tickets or something and pack the joint out. It has no atmosphere with 18000 peeps.

We've won more ways away than at home. Just play all games away, like traveling gypsies. 3 men per caravan. Reserves share or sleep outside next to the barrel fire. Train on public ovals, wide streets or front yards of abandoned houses.

6 games at Campbelltown Stadium and 6 games at Leichhardt is probably the best possible result for a club with supporters from two distant geographical locations. The other option is to find somewhere in between but there isn't really one that I can think of although stretching it maybe Concord could fit but no-one has the money to upgrade it. Back to square one again.
 
We shouldn't be at the SFS. I get that it is a great ground to watch footy at however it is also completely outside our geographic area.

I like the idea of what it was previously - Leichardt/Campbelltown and Homebush.
 
Before I get my point across I will begin by saying I am a 32 year old former Balmain supporter. For me the best way forward is 8 home games at Campbelltown and 4 home games at Leichhardt. However before this can happen Campbelltown would require an upgrade. Lets turn it into a stadium like Hunter Sports Stadium. Capacity 25,000-30,000 would be perfect. Seating all the way around the ground. Not all need to covered with a roof.

Leichhardt is what it is. A ground I love going to. Everything about it. I have a 6 year old son who now loves the joint. I have great memories at the ground but its 2012 and we are WESTS TIGERS.

As Wests Tigers we need to move on from the old Magpies and Tigers days but also remember where WT came from. Have a home ground where opposing teams hate to come and play us. Unfortunately SFS does not provide this with good facilities for away sides. I strongly believe playing at SFS is costing us wins in close matches. (souths game this year immediately comes to mind) I know the club is doing it because of the financial advantages but this is just my opinion.
