One home ground

[hobbo1]

I’m obviously a rebuilt SFS supporter but after going to another game at Bankwest I would take Stadium Australia if we had no other option. One small gripe, the Eels RSL car park was $30 per car and there must be at least 500 car spots fully taken. That is $15,000 straight into the Eels club. Great stadium but it will never be a Tigers home ground. Never ever.

The stadium has it faults, it’s not perfect. Great facilities but the fan experience leaves a bit to be desired.

Winning games will solve that

No it won’t. It’s built into the infrastructure.

Liverpool is gaining traction...

Liverpool may never get built.

True...but if it does..One home Ground..be nice..

Don’t like planning on a possibility that a politically based decision could change on a whim. Would much rather plan knowing what will actually exist.

Balmain leagues went well when politicians changed there mind
if it's Liverpool it will be shared with Bulldogs
God help us
if we share a Stadium at Liverpool then may as well just stay at Parramatta

Anywhere but Bankwest. SFS would be my preference.

There was nothing wrong with the old SFS .. all it needed was a pressure wash and a bit of paint ..
Old ANZ should’ve been the priority for a makeover.

anz or sfs
if it's Liverpool I would probably review ongoing season tickets as it doesn't make sense with COE. If it was Liverpool then they should have made COE in campbletown


Liverpool is Labor territory. I think they actually have buckley’s (no) chance of getting any money out of the State Coalition Government for a Stadium.

I agree Mike

ANZ would be better if they didnt sell the seats behind the goalposts until the sideline seats fill.

Do you think that if the SFS was our original home ground it would’ve still received a rebuild...?

Dunno. But the ANZ upgrade was scrapped due to political pressure. It was the logical choice. The SFS management were smart, as soon as it was announced they ripped the old stadium down. Wasn't much choice then but to rebuild it. Had they waited it probably would not have happened.

I think the chances of Liverpool happening are increasing at the moment. If it happens I believe we will be there.

If Liverpool is only 20K (which is what is currently proposed) it will doom the club to be a second tire club, forever. Whilst the Cowboys have a 25K stadium , Eels a 30K stadium, Storm 30K stadium, Roosters 45K stadium, Broncos 52K stadium, with the Rabbits and the Bulldogs sharing an 86K stadium.

It would be the dumbest decision the club could ever make. It would choke any future growth and severely restrict membership access to games.

I don't believe the club will commit to it at 20k, this is currently being discussed behind the scenes. It will likely take a commitment from the Bulldogs and Tigers but they would be pushing for at least 5k more.

5K more is still not good enough. Small thinking.

We draw more than 25k once a year, anywhere above 30k is too big for our purposes.

At the very minimum 30K. The reason I like SFS is it's going to be 45K. Room to expand over the next 25yrs. I'd be happy with Stadium Australia as well for the same reason.

45k is way too big for our purposes, it would be less than half full for the majority of our games.

That's what we do now. Are you happy with that? I want us to draw 45K every week. That's what we should be aiming for, not what we do now.

So you expect us to almost triple our average? Its just not realistic.

It is great to have ambitions but that is just fantasy.
