Meyer: cambo has once last chance

[Tiger_In_The_Gong]

The difference between the overall attendance figures for both grounds since 2000 is not even 1000\. Yet the way people carry on, its as if its 100 times at LO to what it is at Cambo. Considering there isn't that much between the 2 figures, it shows that over time LO has had its fair share of pathetic attendances as well. I was looking at the crowd figures this morning and there were several games in succession where Leichhardt drew only 4 000, where was everyone saying we should move away from LO then?

Those crowd figures are fact, and it just goes to show that the club, and several people on here have a ''what have you done for me lately'' attitude.

More excuses.

People need to face the facts here.

WE ARE PLAYING THE TOUGHEST AND MOST ATTRACTIVE FOOTBALL IN THE JOINT VENTURES HISTORY AND NO ONE TURNED UP.

Comparing some Leichhardt figures from previous years is simply a distraction from whats really going on.

Yeah, same for when LO attracts a rubbish crowd. Goes both ways.

People talk about 16500 last week but no way.

There were empty spaces on the hill and lots of umbrellas and I know from experience you can"t have that at a ground which hold 20k and announce 3500 short of capacity.

Also its not the away team fans but rather the interest created when another Sydney team plays that brings fringe fans.

And most of last weeks "16500" must be considered fringe fans as they weren't there last night. Didn"t see many Phillips Balmain jumpers last night perhaps they were still drying out. :roll

Anyway, the game was poorly promoted by the media who is really pissing off old Wests fans round Ashfield and newer Wests fans around Campbelltown. It was promoted as a nothing game in the media. and as for blocker :imp:

And as for fudging figures perhaps this is to put pressure on the council to drop fees and also in these times of Balmain facing financial ruination to show the urgency of retaining the Wests Tigers brand intact and keep Balmain fans on board as should be the case.

And as stated elsewhere long term averages are very similar so to come down so hard on CSS is pretty poor.

Well ive got the maturity to not make this a Wests vs Balmain issue.

Ill happily take that.

Yet you like everyone else seems content to point the finger at one section of the supporter base. Thats seems like a Wests v Balmain thing to me.

 

[system]

CEO is at least getting publicity I guess.

The most dissapointing thing I saw last night was a bunch of truly worthless gronks bailing up Mayer and accusing him of being a "Manly boy" and being a plant.

The crowd was truly pathetic in the circumstances to be frank. Much like the last game of 2013 at Leichhardt's attendance was pathetic.

Our fan base is full of finger pointers, whiners, crybaby's and bandwagoners. Mayer got one thing right that nobody can dispute the diehards are always there (family circumstances etc excluding) and they are the base we need to build around.

There comes a point where fans who put condition upon condition on attendance cease to be worth the trouble and that is across all stadiums, not specific to one area.

I have not done this.

That is your assumption.

Mindless arguement.

Ill go back to poisting this :unamused:

This will continue while multiple grounds are used …my opinion that I have had for years it has to be one ground and that one is most central and that is ANZ it not perfect but now you even get free travel there + the 100 K to play there.
Time to cut the loses with grounds and the fair weather supporters ,the crowd last night was an absolute joke with the population in that area you should get 16 thousand walk ups alone.I just hope the new independent board will make the hard decisions that need to be made as the club in General is suffering!

But you haven't asked where the 10 000 people were from last week either.

 

[bonstonker]

it's sad that after another great win for the team i come on here and see this crap.

but this will all be over soon.

You really need everything spelt out for you dont you.

ffs!

Firstly I will say the crowds in the wet were equally as bad at Leichardt last year. We need to play all games at ANZ. I love going to Leichardt on a sunny Sunday but its still a craphole with poor facilities and hard to get too.

I and many others won't travel to Campbelltown games and you can winge about that all you like but its the reality. Campbelltown is the furthest NRL ground in Sydney from the inner west which is the home of both club owners.

Games in the rain will happen and when they do crowds will generally be poor especially for out of town teams.

The Cowboys are historically the worst drawing team in Sydney for all clubs and our lowest crowds are generally Cowboys.

Move all games to ANZ except for 1 a year at Leichardt and Campbelltown, take the money and build the crowd over time.

Their are a lot of other things that can help drive crowds but we need a central regular point in ANZ and with the 4 away games we could play 14 games a year their.

So do you. Crowd figures over time are virtually the same. But apparently we ignore that cos it doesn't really fit with the anti-Ctown sentiments that seem to resonate with a lot of people here.

Yes youve already made your point about over all crowd figures.

But as you are still missing the point and just being annoyingly overly defensive that is the end of me in this conversation.

Painful!

 

[GNR4LIFE]

You have a point? could have fooled me.

 

[Eye_Of_Da_Tiger]

I wonder what ground fans that are interstate or out of town focus to go to

I imagine with the "Leichardt Mystic" that more fans are likely to go to Leichardt than Campbelltown

You here everyone talk about Sundays at Leichardt like it is a badge of honour

You never hear people talk about Saturday Nights at Campbelltown

Fans prefer to go to Leichardt than they do Campbelltown , its the clubs responsibility to make Campbelltown a place to want to watch footy

Even the players show favourtism towards LO. Last yr after the draw was announced, our captain tweeted his disappointment that there were no Sunday arvo games at Leichhardt, yet where was he at the start of this season stating his disappointment about no Sunday arvo games at Cambo?

There have been a number of players who have come out heavily in support of Campbelltown during the week.

Good luck with bubs. I was generalising and to me it's frustrating that over 10 000 supporters were their one week but not the next. Do we all follow the same team?it was the same team playing! Why make a decision not to go then and then complain ,of course family reasons excluded. Cheers Yos

No worries mate. I'd love to see 20k minimum there every week.
