Ask yourself the following questions:
What is the most short sighted & dumbest option available?
What would not really please any of the fans, but not really alienate anyone either?

That will likely be the venue chosen


No matter which location is picked it will alienate some of our supporter base.

A TRUE supporter wouldn't mind where WT'S played as long as we called it home

after being a season ticket member for 20 odd years I consider myself a true supporter **but would be reconsidering continuing a membership if we choose a home ground I do not want to travel to every second week.**

I agree. It's why i'm against the SFS.

I will attend any ground in Sydney but the SFS and ANZ are last in my preferences of grounds suggested.

Dont blame you. I know your thoughts on ANZ, why are you against SFS?

I would prefer a homeground that caters for the wide spread of our fanbase. I don't think the SFS does that.

No it's in the East and we are from the WEST

I have been known to make that point lol.

What playing out of Perth

So that is the level you are resorting to?

Just as ridiculous as what you have been sprouting about the SFS.

That it is not ideally located to cater for our spread of fans?

The SFS is though

Disagree

No the location has to be taken out of the picture now , as where most see the locations of being ok the grounds are just not up to standard.
If the club wants to charge top $$ for premium memberships they have to supply top rate facilities to match ..Money coming from the licensed clubs will dry up eventually so the main money maker will be the corporate world and with that they will demand top rate facilities for there $$.
So I agree with Mike the old days are gone locations mean nothing in the world anymore it’s all about what the club offers it’s stake holders .
SFS for short term then three or four years to a revamped ANZ maybe, I still believe the best positioned stadium moving forward is WSS , I think the Parra rhetoric is ridiculous but that’s me , I think being able to play in such a great arena is a blessing !

I agree with WSS as well but have given up on that option.
 
ANZ or SFS would work best for me personally getting to games, but I believe a revamped Campbeltown would be best for the club long term

I think any modern stadium would work. The club and some fans, are over thinking it.

I tend to agree. In fact, I wonder if it was part of the "review"? The impact on player and team performance of having multiple (pre-Qld) home grounds? If it's not on the "urgent" issue list for the Club, then nothing's going to change in the short term.

I honestly don't think there is an urgent list. There's a plod along list though.

I agree with you :100: @mike re SFS.......that is if the decision is made that Wests Tigers remain an inner city Club.
If not, and with a view to the future...a re-built CSS is the go.

Urgent and Wests Tigers aren’t a thing.

How’s that review of NRL contracts going after the Matterson and Aloiai situations? Weren’t we meeting with the NRL. How long before Stef starts kicking stones? I’m tipping soon.

McGowan wouldn't let's us in and the way its going it'll be it's own country shortly

If we could get in it would be a great way to expand the game internationally.

Let the club get a coach first and teach them how to play then worry about where we play.

We can play in any old park that is available, park footy is about our playing standard at the moment.
