hmm, did you just out a forum member?Thread 'Tigers eye permanent move back to spiritual homes at Leichhardt, Campbelltown' https://weststigersforum.com/thread...itual-homes-at-leichhardt-campbelltown.33153/
The stadium strategy that was implemented has been spoken about since 2022 when Pascoe was here.
I find it really odd this would be a legitimate reason to blow up the board.
There's a huge weight of evidence against the comment that Paton made about this. He was typically vague about what the precise beef was, but they were certainly aware about the stadium strategy.
PVL totally missed the mark in terms of what he thought the main issue with the fanbase was, he stated that wests and Balmain will always be a part of Wests Tigers fabric. We don't really give a rats about either of them. The issue is the ownership and their missmanagement of the club. So when PVL went in, he may very well have gone in to fix a non issue.History shows many things, but I prefer to look to the future.
HBG are surely aware they have lost the trust of many Wests Tigers fans, PVL is surely aware of the angst towards HBG from many Wests Tigers fans.
The point is being made loud and clear and hence the reason why I have continually stated I don’t have a problem with last Saturday’s orotest.
You stated on your podcast that HBG have between now and the Leichhardt Oval trial to get there act together.
I agree with that statement 💯
So is there any chance we can let the actions speak louder than words between now and then ?
I say that as I think it would certainly benefit our CEO, coach and players if our fans could have a positive mindset.
see u made it on the board , congratsHBG showed their hand, they are all in now with the board named & have more than just external power on the Wests Tigers decisions.
If we get success they will deserve credit but if we don’t then fully expect heads to roll at the top especially as the majority decision makers.
Shows the true motives of the initial decision made and Daniel’s media stunt was just that a stunt.
He’s a politician. They always target a lesser issue to distract from a bigger problem. Seems like they are doing something.PVL totally missed the mark in terms of what he thought the main issue with the fanbase was, he stated that wests and Balmain will always be a part of Wests Tigers fabric.

Not sure what you mean. The funding is coming from government, not Wests Tigers.hmm, did you just out a forum member?
Anyway, yes it has been on the agenda for ages.
What I suspect may have surprised Burgess and HBG would be the pricetag
The board committed to 30m? (combined) funding for Leichaert.
Campbelltown though came in at 50m.
I suspect HBG would have thought Ctown would be the minor stadium and they baulked at paying that much (with a stack of that money subsidsed by the government).
Ultimately...
The whole stadium thing sucks. Campbelltown has Raby, Airds, Claymore and a stack of poor suburbs and infrastructure needs. I back the Tigers, but we don't need 2x stadiums. That money could be way better spent, but people need to be re-elected so we waste it here.
Stuff the upgrades, go back to hills and ovals!
We have to bite the bullet and have 1 stadium and tbh a new shared stadium makes sense. The NRL should show some guidance and make a ruling as to new or upgraded grounds standards and expectations.hmm, did you just out a forum member?

I thought it wasn't all Government. <could be wrong>.Not sure what you mean. The funding is coming from government, not Wests Tigers.
the stadium gripe was about Richo doing 15 year lock ins ,I thought it wasn't all Government. <could be wrong>.
Let me check.
Right, we pay nothing. 40m from federal/state government and 10m from the council.

If you’re stumping up that much cash you’d want a commitment to achieve a return on your investment I would have thought.
