Campbelltown crowds

Good point you raise @Chicken_Faced_Killa re Us V out of town team Newcastle.....not a very attractive game as N'castle are nearly as 💩 as We are, so why would you bother to travel all the way from there to watch a 💩 team when you can watch the match in the comfort of your comfy recliner lounge chair. Fair dinkum people complain about travelling from the inner West of Sydney to Campbelltown.

So its no wonder the footy commentary team said there weren't many Newcastle jerseys in the crowd, which obviously means a much smaller overall crowd number.

Add to that the game was on free to air…. Love how ppl get on their high horses because they live in the “inner west”

I think a lot more thought needs to go into who and when we play at CS. I would think Canberra, Penrith and Dogs are no brainers. You can add another like say Cronulla and there’s 4 good games.
Sort out the most attractive day/time to play, offer a 4 match ticket deal with good discounts, and try to put more bums on seats.
We should always play Newcastle at Leichhardt and Canberra at Camb. Not the other way around. To me it just makes sense.
And why would we play Manly there, to rekindle the Fibro/ Silvertail concept. That died a long time ago.
Also, on the subject of money, I’m still trying to work out why we needed to spend so much on a centre of excellence which looks to me like a glorified gym with some offices and a coffee shop. It seems excessive.
Do we own Concord oval, that already had the bones of a potential WT home ground in a centralised location and with a reasonable amount of money could have been updated.Or is it too late ?
That would have finished the LO/CS debate.
Or am I just out of touch.

We don't own Concord Oval or any other ground. Few clubs own a ground. CO has been completely rebuilt as a centre of excellence, a training venue. It will never host top level footy matches again.
 
This topic comes up among WT fans but usually the discussion is a relatively fact-free zone.
So, here are the facts.
Crowd comparisons:

5 year crowd averages 2015-19 (excluding covid years)
LO 13268 v CSS 10671

10 year crowd averages 2010-19:
LO 13612 v CT 11836

Yes, LO crowds are better but not so much better that we shouldn't play at CSS any more.

Win Ratios 2010-2021:
LO won 24 lost 19
CSS won 21 lost 20
No important difference there either.

It would be cool if we could build a 15k to 20k seating stadium at Lidcombe

Not necessary.

Just let the kids on the bike track? 😉

Easy rail head transport for us innercity types.

Can nearly smell the programs and dencorub.

That will re awaken the spirit.

Why didn't I think of this?

I agree.
Must dump both shitholes
 
The CSS crowds should be higher, but that's no reason to abandon the ground. The club is also responsible to make the games worth coming to.

Thank you to @rozelle_rudy ,
just confirms the closeness . When you see the win/loss ratios it just goes to show that results are the big factor in crowd numbers.

With the current economic climate, it would be great if the NRL could subsidise a reduced entry fee and vendor food at Campbelltown for local residents. No doubt other areas are struggling as well but Campbelltown/Macarthur was recorded in the top two areas for mortgage stress. I hope the NRL give this consideration.

To paraphrase Marie Antoinette the NRL response would be "Let them eat KFC"

Mate they better change their thinking. We need to win the hearts and minds of the youngsters in the SW. Just because you are poor or come from a disadvantaged background does not mean you should miss out on watching the WTs😀.

I doubt that the NRL could care in the slightest to be honest,as a body they have moved so far away from their traditional roots it is frightening.It is all about being a sport for the powerful and rich these days.
 
It's also a negative promotion when the few stars we have are out or lent to other club's.

Game had a real did feel about it and still they nearly won.
