One Home Ground

[Silentio]

If we really are a joint venture, Campbelltown and Leichhardt should be our home grounds. End of story.

Admittedly, both stadiums need a lot of work and funding to bring them up to standard, but this is not mission impossible.

Travelling around the continent like a circus will do nothing to build our brand or support. It's a financial band aid that once torn off, will show some gaping wounds,

At the moment we're running on the fumes of Wests Magpies and Balmain Tigers. It wont last forever.

Eels do not accept the terms of the deal…interesting.

Imo Perth is the way to go !

1\. We already have the name
2\. The NRL would give us a massive leg up monetary wise
3\. We're out of the crap that is Sydney
4\. We'll still get to watch them play in Sydney against sides like Souths / Roosters /Parra etc
5\. We can enjoy weekends away flying over to Perth with family and friends.
6….and imagine a road trip with happy and Geo !

And imo it’s an attractive place to live...plus players would want to come over to get out of the fish bowl which is Sydney !

I've been saying this for some time. We also get a brand new stadium, one team in a big city adds up to lots of corporate sponsorships. Plus, with the money we would get from the NRL, we could afford to purchase some top line players.

Win Win.

:righton:

1 Geo is banned from WA (don't ask why pen_mouth: )

2 Look rugby league isn't as popular as is made out

3 I didn't know this until recently , but SOO gets less than 100 000 viewers from WA

4 I would very concerned about getting many decent FTA viewing games (look at Canberra , Warriors , Cowboys and to a lesser degree Melbourne )

5 Many games in WA would get played at ridiculous time slots and effect crowd numbers

6 I couldn't sit in the Japanese Princess and listen to Hobbo rave on about English cricket , Nissans , explaining how to blow up his Harry Kane blow up special doll , listening to him brag about eating 94 snag sandwiches in a single sitting , how good he is as a goal kicking coach and Tottenham for 70 hours ONE WAY

Agree with Hobbo!

What time was the Origin on tv over there,

From memory the times of the Perth team in super league, were fitted in to the rest of the games and were live but not sure what it was in WA,
maybe someone else knows?

Would love to know if we got a better deal then the Eels rejected or if we are getting shafted. Does anyone know?

Alot of the complaints seem to do with pricing. Might be wise to eat before you go, and plan to have a beverage somewhere else after!

Sounds good to me… All ours eh?
Lol

Pretty sure Mayer locked in our deal a while ago. Was only a renegotiation that probably kept similar terms since it's the same organisation that looks after ANZ and WSS.

 

[mike]

So WSS is ours !!!!

well again… you wont get an argument from me on that front... KICK EM BOTH OUT

 

[Sabre]

So Wests Tigers will be the custodians of WSS…

 

[Snake]

WestsTigers Sydney Stadium….

 

[Harvey]

The deal offered does not allow for reasonable ticket prices and results in excessive food and beverage prices. I wonder if Parramatta are looking after fans better than we are?

Will see next year, but guaranteed whatever price applies there will be applied to the traditional home grounds. Can’t let the crowds there exceed our new “home “

Having a read of the official statement im calling BS.

They listed 3 key issues that relate to things like how much pies cost. :laughing:

Then buried as the 4 issue is this -

— Expanded opportunities for our corporate partners to help drive revenue for the club

Imo they are just having a sook because they cant paint the ground in **their colours** or put up the kind of signage **their sponsors** would be happy with.

The 5th issue was another piece of fluff

-Better technology to enhance game day experience :laughing:

Just send them to Perth already!
