Four new suburban stadiums or grand final will go

[cochise]

Homebush makes the most sense being close to centre of excellence plus they will pay us to play there
Otherwise it is 45km away to play home games at Cambo which makes no sense
Concord to Homebush 5km
Concord to Leichhardt Oval 6km

It is not fit for our purposes at all.

People know they don't all meet up at Concord on game day and travel to whatever home ground right..

 

[gallagher]

The club needs to advise there membership base if they are planning to walk away from there inner west/ western/ north western Sydney areas and make Campbelltown there home ground ..that’s not an issue but there is a need to know .. you can not ask for memberships to be pledged and not be transparent ..
The sooner the better !

What do you mean by walk away..?

The COE for Wests Tigers is being built in Concord...that wont change...

Where they play if it were to be 1 Ground..Campbelltown, Bankwest, ANZ, Leichhardt or Timbucktoo will be a while off should even these upgrades get done..

Also most Clubs have various home grounds and all take home games to various other places in a season...

Why does playing at different grounds for home games divide the supporter base as you claim..?

I'm not sure about dividing the supporter base but we've used 5 grounds as our Sydney home ground now. Dont you think that is ridiculous?

Not if it brings in the cash...

Thats a good argument for playing at the stadiums. But we lose money getting 10k at the suburbans, which we regularly do.

The suggestion is move to 1 Stadium.. said that ..being BankWest, ANZ, or a redeveloped Campbelltown or Leichhardt..the Suburbans won't be as they are if they are redeveloped..seems the issue is now is that the One could be Campbelltown we have already have questioning of renewals of memberships if that ends up being the case...

I don't see a problem playing at ANZ BankWest WestsSFS or Timbucktoo in one season..if it brings in revenue for just playing there..

This is a long way off anyway..

A long way off? Do you mean the suburban grounds getting developed or the clubs desire to have one home ground. They could have one home ground next year.

 

[sell u sand]

I think we need to shift the mentality that having more than one home ground is SUCH a bad thing.
Kind of testament to our supporter base that we can have two venues (Leichhardt and Campbelltown)50km apart sellout if we had a top 4 side.

Top 4 we'd sell out Bankwest . Maybe we should stop that mentality.

What's your point?

It won’t be next year. I believe there is still a ways to go on their contractual arrangements with ANZ/BankWest.

And? A sell out at Bankwest is 30k. Sellout at Leichhardt is 23K.

We got more than 30K couple of Easters ago against Eels.

The whole point is we need a ground that can take big crowds against big drawing Sydney teams and we can cash in (particularly after we hit top 4) and also a ground with lower break even that we can use for 10K crowds (Cows, warriors etc).

 

[Tiger_Steve]

So now echo point (Homebush) is not being demolished, does that mean we go back there instead of BankWest when normal ground allocations resume?

Lol. Just like the under 8;s - parent roster to shuttle the kids to the game and then off to Maccas after the game for a milk shake.

Out of all the choices - it would be Homebush (not ideal) for the big games and the smaller ones at Leichhardt for me. Forget the rest.

That is defencist I used to get $1 for topping the tackle count so I'd want a milkshake for my defence.

Can only be if it is BankWest, otherwise we will have to wait for one home ground.

If i remember rightly the deal with ANZ was transferred to Bankwest only because ANZ was going to be out of action. You would think we would have to be given the option to return to ANZ.

100%, it would be an easy change. Though I wish it wasn't as I think ANZ is the worse ground in the world for club footy.

Yes but the managers of ANZ/BankWest have said BankWest for home games. That’s why we are not playing at ANZ. The NSW govt wants to maximise the investment in BankWest. This may have changed after the weekend’s announcement but I doubt it.
