Balmain left LO at the end of 1994 because the ground was outdated for first grade rugby league. Its held purely for tradition and thats what brings the crowds. Campbelltown has a family demographic with a huge rugby league population behind it. Its up to WT to embrace it.

Having read this post, countless times in counteless threads
it has become tiring, so I will assist you with you with your
understanding.
Balmain left Leichardt for Parramatta at the end of 1994 trying to chase their supporters
that had moved away from their support base. They returned to Leichardt
oval after a couple of seasons. It turned out the crowd wasn't showing
up because they kept losing (who'd have thought).
Embracing Wests Tigers is a two way street. Campbelltown never embraced
the magpies, similarly, they never embraced Wests Tigers. It is
also up to Campbelltown to embrace Wests Tigers, which is why the
low crowds are being discussed.
Furthermore, if tradition is not a valuable commodity, as you imply,
why do you have a magpie in your avatar?
If you are so confident in what you say, why do you need to telling the
same tale about 1994? Rather than copying and pasting this post, you
would be better served finding genuine solutions to the problem of
why Campbelltown has never embraced a rugby league team!
