One home ground

[Deleted member 3518]

I think we had a chance to stake out Bankwest as our home ground when it first opened. If we had have gone there full-time at the same time ad the squeals then it would be just accepted as home by now.
Nowhere feels like home to me.

That’s why we should just build something new , in association with say the bulls and maybe the dogs . Eg. Liverpool . Much like the COE it creates a refresh, and a way to build new memories . C town and the 8th wonder , bankwest , etc . Just have so many bad ones .

I think Liverpool would be awesone.

So do I, but I don't think it is a realistic option for the club

Do you mean they wouldn't see it as an option?

I don't think so no, I may be wrong but it is the impression I got.

That’s ridiculous really . It’s our catchment , it’s a new ground so no baggage , and it’s not that far really , from Ashfield concord . Plus it’s a hub for train lines . Also with the teams nearby , it could easily be sold to say the nsw government.
What are thier preferences Cochise ? Because the current model , is reall reall unsustainable. And I’m a Balmain roots , 8th wonder , supporter . But that ground needs to be against Souths once a year IMO. Much like the Stadium Australia , Easter clash against the eels .

There are a few things against Liverpool. It is not near the COE or Wests Ashfield. Also it would be a boutique stadium restricted to 20K capacity. That would place us at a great disadvantage against other teams with grounds with greater capacity. It would ensure Wests Tigers were only ever a second tier club.

Why not make it the same size as bankwest ? Easy fix . Having it smaller isn’t necessarily bad . Much like Leichhardt , it makes the experience a premium one , which means if the demand can build to enough , you can sell the seats that are around the players near the sidelines , or corporate boxes for way more . It’s literally the American model . They only get 10k max to most basketball and baseball games . But that’s how it’s sold . We won’t make the revenue of that because it’s 80 games and 163 games respectively , 41 home and 81 home , but the point remains .

Disagree with the conclusion.


I'm sure many will.

Neither Stadium Australia or the SFS are appropriate for our use.

So you’re a die hard West’s Tigers supporter .. go to all the functions but want to play out of Parramatta Stadium
?
Righto ..
?

Parramatta Stadium got torn down.

I want to play at stadium that is appropriate for our needs, sadly there isn't one.

So how come when we play there against a non Parra team there’s Parra flags and Parra player pics on banners everywhere ..
Why is there a Mick Cronin , Ken Thornett, Peter Sterling and Brett Kenny stands ?
Why is Parra leagues club adjoining the stadium?

Because the government won't. The plans would be for smaller 20K grounds.

Says who ? The only reason Brookvale and Others are being sold that way to the government is because , PVL and the NRL have that agenda atm . If you head there with enough of a business case , there’s no way they wouldn’t shift . Plus your talking about 10k extra seats . I’m sure that’s not just a 50% increase to total costs .

Don’t fool yourself, Western Sydney Stadium is Parramatta’s home ground. There is no getting around it.

In your opinion lol

And everyones in Parramatta as well.

Not to mention the media.

The problem is there is no perfect solution, every stadium we have to make compromises and that leads to everyone having different preferences. Look at the differing opinions on here. I don't know but that is probably the same within the club and why they are stagnant on the matter.

Whatever the Club picks, they'll be on a hiding to nothing.

 

[Rugba]

For me it’s stadium Australia .

In your opinion.

One of them we average less than a quarter of the capacity and the other is in the Eastern Suburbs. A side called Wests playing in the Eastern Suburbs is just stupid. I also don't see how that is any less the Roosters' stadium than Bankwest is Parramatta's.

Parramatta have a strong supporter base, roosters dont

Lidcombe territory. It's a yes from me.

If that's what's holding them back then it's gutless management.
