Liverpool Home Ground?

[gallagher]

People do realise that there's very very little chance of any new stadium getting built nor any significant funding for existing suburban grounds, right?

I don't realise that.

Some common sense it’s all talk about these new boutique stadiums being built , there are more than enough larger stadiums in this city to accomodate all teams with modern facilities for fans and corporates The NRL is on life support as with most clubs , it’s survival of the fittest time to bunker down to one location !

I don't know that we will get 4 or 5, but I think there is a chance a couple will be built over the next 10 years. I believe this for a couple of reasons

Firstly the NSW government had a commitment with the NRL which guaranteed the grand final would be played in Sydney for the next 20+ years or so. That agreement is now null and void, so they will need to do something to retain the grand final.

Secondly the government is going to need infrastructure projects to kickstart the economy after covid is sorted, these stadiums are perfect for that as they are based in the local communities and will provide jobs.

Just play every game at our spiritual home ground or fold as a club completely.
Any other ground will never feel like Home.

They folded two clubs WT'S do not have a spiritual homd ground heres the chance to get one.

We all know Leichhardt is the Tigers spiritual home ground, anyone who has been to a Campbelltown and Leichhardt home game has FELT it.

Build a new concrete jungle and it just won't be the same.
Long live Leichhardt

Sorry but it's a dump. ***It's horrible to get to, you have to get there at 11am to get a decent*** spot, very poor facilities. Rugby League is a business and Leichhardt doesn't fit the bill.
We should move to either ANZ ,newly built stadium at Liverpool or a re-developed Campbelltown. Rugby league needs a stronger foothold in the south-west. Especially with A-League and AFL making strong inroads.

Its easy to get to. Park at ORange Grove School or Light Rail nearby.

To get a decent spot, put your money where your mouth is and fork out for membership.

Some silver membership seats were in line with the ingoal... Worthless... Pretty much the entire ground bar the main stand is poor/obstructed viewing


I am a member, my seats are not in the Main stand and I am on the 40m line, about 2m off the ground, completely unobstructed. The best RL viewing seats in the world.

I am right next to the players enclosure 8 rows back, they are the best seats that you will find anywhere.


Mate Im right next to you, lets say g;day when things are back to normal

Sounds like my seats are right with you guys as well. Section 8?

But they won't generate any revenue. There's millions of infrastructure being built at the moment. The entire city is a construction park.

And if you think the gov can suddenly spare an extra 500 million then you're kidding yourself. Money will be invested in hospitality, tourism, healthcare, education all before some tiny suburban club gets a new stadium.

If any investment happens with the stadia it will be ANZ stadium as was originally planned. There was already uproar from the community about the frivolity of the spending pre COVID-19, now all budget strings are much much tighter

Once covid settles down there will be a push from both federal and state governments to generate jobs, construction jobs are where those jobs will be created. They may not get built, but then NSW will lose the grand final. The deputy premier has already come out in support of something happening.

Why would they lose the GF? Was the condition of the GF being in Sydney dependant on an 80k Rectangular ANZ stadium?

An alternative factor to this is congestion. It would roughly cost a similar amount if not less for the government to build a couple of green field stadium sites, than it would to convert ANZ but by spreading the infrastructure we don’t have as much reliance on the east west routes. In addition to this we talk about league in Sydney in terms of attendance not viewership. Some one could bring up figures but there’s no lack of interest of watching or supporting league in Sydney it’s just geographically it makes it a burden for supporters to attend games.
The NSW government sees a benefit in boasting the local tribalism between clubs, making it more convenient and interesting for fans to leave the pubs and the couches would be on their priority list.
I think we can all see how great a stadium like BankWest is. It’s just it’s a shame it’s in Eels territory.
Imagine a 20k ‘BankWest modelled’ South West located stadium shared by WestsTigers and Macarthur Bulls...

 

[Elderslie_Tiger]

I think they will reduce the number of games at LO/Cambo..moving more games to the Stadia BankWest/ANZ..

I don't see it as an issue as some do...All Clubs move home games these days...

The big problem with Wankwest is on game day when its our home game we pour money into Parramatta Leagues Club.If we have a two year deal with WW/ANZ to go would prefer more games at ANZ hopefully in that two year period NSW Govt Stadium policy should be sorted

Yes the ANZ refurb was a condition of the the Grand Final staying in Sydney for the next 25 years. The NRL is now within its rights to sell the GF to the highest bidder.
