Crowd

[1_4_chicken_chips]

Side not I think GWS had zero impact on our support last year, however I think the wanderers may have made some inroads, don't underestimate their support in tigers territory out west. This could impact on crowds for us at the beginning of the year, as hard to attend both teams if you have a young family.

I think you could have a point . I work out west and there certainly is quite a lot of people wearing thenWanderers shirt. I must say its the best looking soccer shirt I've seen ..reminds me of the good ol Bears

Interesting opinions

I know Wests Campbelltown Leagues Club don't find game days valuable for revenue.. Despite being at the front door of the ground, game days distract from pokie players although bistro gets a good working.

WT need to take hold of the Campbelltown area and make it more homely rather than travel there (like an away game) 4 times a tear - only 3 day games in last 4 years.

Didn't go to Campbeltown for the game, only ever been once but it's too far away and not as comfortable or easy as watching on Tv at home or wests Ashfield. Campbelltown should continue to get more games but is always going to struggle in comparison to other venues due to location and socio economic issues. Away fans don't go their, only half the home fans go their and those in the area don't have as much money especially when it's on free to air tv on Sunday arvo.

The club does a lot of community work but needs to do more and more and I am sure they will. Wanderes play at parramatta which is more central and I'm sure you would get a lot more inner west fans to wests tigers games if they were closer

Humpty doesn't understand the suburbs.

When i was in primary school in the mid 90s they used to give us free Wests Magpies tickets at school so we'd go home and ask our parents to take us to the game. (Dad would then have to buy 3 more tickets for himself and my two other brothers of course… and that was the trick.)

The Magpies would march in the fishers ghost festival every year, and they would visit every school and PCYC. Tommy Raudonikis was the coach of NSW at the time and still brought a little table and chair down to my school fete and sat there on his own signing posters for everyone. He'd also drive around in a ute with a loudspeaker to get people to come to games.

I don't care how much the game has changed we don't do enough of that sort of stuff for the kids and community anymore. Esp in a place like Campbelltown where it can make a huge difference.

Free passes are given out to kids in Macarthur schools before every game.

My friends kids at Thomas Acres PS have had three lots of freebies over the last 2 years
