New homeground

[BZN]

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

So we should playing out of Perth then.

And if go a little more West we will sink like that Flight 370 in the Indian ocean.?

And what a terrible occurrence that was @FinestTigers.
But unlike Flight 370 Wests Tigers are gonna rise to the top.
Enjoy the rest of your day :relaxed: .

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

Tipping your an old Magpies fan

Nope, Wests Tigers fan.

[Tiger Woods]

Can we plz not play at bankwest in 2022
We’re supposed to play 4 more games there next year & we don’t have a good record there
It’s supposed to be a world class stadium but personally it looks ugly & is overrated
Let’s move the 4 games up the road to Homebush we have a better record there otherwise we could lose 8 points if we play at bankwest
The Easter games v parra are good but plz not at bankwest

Bankwest is too steep for me even when I’m sober, the colour theme is disgusting & the surface is very slippery ?

Fair enough...I think the whole Western Sydney thing is a bit misguided. The demographics and participation numbers don't support the "Growth Area" argument.

[Demps]

I was never a magpies fan.
Appreciate the history though.

(Liked the Tigers colours growing up but didn't follow the sport closely until later in life)

Big fan of the magpies jerseys and their gear, in general.
Looking forward to getting some.

End of the day, the team is Wests Tigers.

I will state it very clearly for you, I was not a Wests Magpies fan. Over half my life ago I supported Balmain but I really do no see the relevance to this conversation as I am not a Balmain supporter, I am a Wests Tigers supporter and have been for longer than I was a Balmain fan. I don't base my decisions on a club a supported almost a quarter of a century ago. I base mine on what I believe is best for the team I support now.

I believe that a team that calls itself Wests and is trying to represent a vast area of Sydney that stretches out past Campbelltown would be mistaken to play all its games at a stadium in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney. If the club was still Balmain, then yes I could understand that thinking, but the club is not Balmain no matter how much people wish that it was.

My post mentioning @MAGPIES1963 was a joke between him and I as we have had some pretty heated discussions over his advocating for the Magpies (I am not having a go at you in this post Maggies, just clarifying why I mentioned you).

[Aubanon]

In its current form Campbelltown doesn't have the corporate facilities to cut it and Leichhardt is dated.

Even in its current configuration, our one home ground should be Homebush.

It geographically makes sense and ties into our roots and it provides amble scope for corporate/hospitality $$$ and it's not Parra's home ground.

22 years in and we're still the nomads of the league.

EDIT: And whether people want to hear it, there is a certain snobbery about some corporates who'll travel to Leichhardt and Bank West, but not to Campbelltown.
