Easter Monday match moved to ANZ

Bankwest is a remakable venue, however it offers our club zero advantage.

IN TRUTH we have no home ground advantage for any games we play.


Cough....Leichhardt

(I know the facilities like corporate stuff is substandard, but we do get a home ground vibe there)

Hasn’t recently translated into results though. So not much of an advantage.


Without trawling through stats (someone will if Im wrong), Leichhardt is our most successful ground (best win/loss) so that is an advantage. IF your team is somewhere between rubbish and average, no ground is going to translate to >50%. It is certainly (particularly in the members seats) the best atmosphere for fans and players.

Where abouts do you sit mate?


Last row before the fence in the "concourse" section, near 40m line south of tunnel.

Lol, you must be right near me, in the bay next to the player enclosure?

L or R side of tunnel, facing the playing field Cochise?

Right side.

I usually stand at the fence on the concourse behind your bay. Depending on what time we get there (2 sons as well).

Why on earth would you give a rival an advantage,particularly one who should have been drowned at birth

Why wouldn't you give yourself an advantage and have one home ground?

Are Home Grounds an advantage in the Modern game though...some examples ..Newcastle in the last 5 years have had 1 home ground and basically sucked..no advantage..Manly at Fortress Dung Heap is certainly not what it used to be.....Melbourne played basically all there games on the Sunny Coast last season and killed it as usual..

If you are good enough the Ground is not going to help that much..in recent times the myth that Leichhardt has a 10-12pt advantage to Wests Tigers hasn't really helped..

What was their win percentage at home compared to away? the data you are using may not show the true story.

In 2016 Newcastle won 1 game...guess who against

Wasn't that the game of soccer?

We will manage it, I've met a few people on here at games. @BalmainJnr and @Tiger_Steve sat near me for ages before we realised we knew each other were on here.

I have sat behind @BalmainJnr for probably 15+ years and chatted at the games every LO game before we worked out our online aliases.

So four home grounds in Sydney? Laughable.


It maybe laughable but playing our home game against parra in parra was beyond crazy

Feels like we're scared.


Why on earth would you give a rival an advantage,particularly one who should have been drowned at birth

Why wouldn't you give yourself an advantage and have one home ground?


You are not giving yourself an advantage if your home ground is in the middle of another clubs area.Whatever you want to call it it will never be our clubs home ground

I don't really care which one they pick but they need to pick one. Where's the advantage of 4 home grounds in one city?

And how many premiers have had 4 home ground?

Exactly, imagine a season of flying high in the top 4 If we were at Leichhardt or Campbelltown every second week. It’d be overflowing. Ah to dream.

Id love it, but we would lose money. Leichhardt works for low drawing games.

No that would be Woolongong Stadium..small sample size..


I meant of our "home" grounds.

Wollongong brings back bad memories. Back in the very early days of the Steelers when they used to get pumped by EVERYONE, I pestered my Dad to take me to the footy and he took me down there. We sat in a rickety timber grandstand facing the ocean. It was FREEZING and flogging rain and the hopeless Steelers pumped Balmain. Long drive back.

When I first went to NSWRL games the southern grandstand at WIN STADIUM was a hill at Wollongong showground. For many years now I’ve done that drive in reverse (to our various homes) and yes, it’s normally a sad old trek home.

Wankhede Stadium


Oh wow Kid, I never realised you were that far away. I hope you get there one day mate, but Im worried you would be underwhelmed, particularly compared to something like Wankhede Stadium.

For a starter, these days max crowd would probably be around 15K and at that number its starting to get uncomfortable. On the hill which is probably something like 40% of the crowd, on a big day, it is standing only if you want to have a chance of seeing the action or alternatively Ive been there when the whole crowd is doing this thing where you are trying to sit so the people behind can see but as soon as anything happens everyone is up anyway.

I also wouldnt describe the atmosphere as like a massive "pumping" crowd experience. Its more like a massive crowded picnic for want of a better description. Most are there for a shared love of the Tigers and understanding and accepting of the shortcomings of the ground and just enjoying the experience.

Hard to put it words but I'd worry you would be underwhelmed. For me and Im sure many others nostalgia is a massive part of it including the walk to the ground etc.

How about others (lovers and haters) try to put it into words for Kazoo?

Get in early and take up a general admission seat behind the goal posts at the far end. You have a brilliant view of the packed hill in all its glory. It feels like a cross between professional and park football. Something spiritual in it.
