Both are great historic fields, and keeps a connection to the western suburbs past, Pratten park atleast next to Ashfield train station. And can park at the Woolies in Ashfield and walk across to the oval. Pratten park is a better field then Concord or five dock, I play in the seniors comp and we constantly have to play at blackmore oval every second week and I'm sick of it, something different would be cool.
True hasn't been used for a long time, but Pratten park and Lidcombe I think would be good for the junior league and the very lower grades men's league comps, i think NSW cup magpies should play at the Concord COE to atleast get it's moneys worth of what 78million was spent on it.
All they care about is making sure they get to play at Lidcombe. They won’t even consider playing at pratten park or birchgrove no matter what grade. If Lidcombe was first grade standard they would 100% be wanting all our home games there.
It amazes me there were ever games there to begin with. The capacity must be 7 or 8 thousand. The grandstand is a matchbox.
I don't like any of your ideas, for starters all the grades should be called Wests Tigers we have been the merged team for 26 years it's time to drop the dinosaur clubs influence, all the younger supporters don't give a rat's arse about the previous clubs and they are the future.
