One home ground

[Elderslie_Tiger]

Been discussed before, but after today, where we played a team who were 0-4 and conceded 141 points in there first 4 games, a side who we have the best winning percentage against in the league, and we dish up that.
That is not even taking in to account the Tommy factor, which alone should have inspired a win.
We have a shocking record at Leichhardt, we need to ditch the 4 home grounds and get one and stick with it.
We gain zero advantage from our supposed suburban grounds, we are wasting our time, make the call and let the fans whinge, but at least we will have a real home that the players can actually call home.
I am old and I get the heritage thing, but it is useless if it doesn't get you an advantage, get with the 21st century Wests Tigers and get us one home ground, the nomadic days are not working and need to be abandoned.

I agree but where will we get the money for it?

We can just use Bank West or Stadium Australia, it doesn't matter really, it will just give the players some form of consistency, they are just a bunch of traveling nomads, and playing like a park team now

We should go nowhere near Bankwest Stadium.Stadium Australia or hope the government are true to their word a build a new Stadium in Liverpool.
Leichhardt was once a fortress but its now a picnic ground for opposition teams

We have a shocking record at Leichhardt

Actually we don't.

56.47% win rate at LO (48/85)
44.05% WR at CSS (37/84)
30.77% WR at Bankwest (4/13)
41.85% WR at Homebush (36/86)
38/10% WR at SFS (16/42)

All-time win record is 43%, so we are a 13% better side at LO.

Still not good enough should be in the high 70% The Magpies went 3 years undefeated at Lidcombe Oval when Tommy was there they were an unfashionable team but played with guts and determination

I'm sorry you are off your meds. Even the Storm at AAMI Park only have a 74% win record in 10+ seasons.

Liverpool would be a disaster it didn't keeps Magpies alive
future is
Homebush
or
SFS

LO holds 20k not sure why the 9k yesterday I though football had no covid restrictions

 

[TigerTownSFS]

Is there a club anywhere in any competition in any sport that plays at half a dozen locations a season? It’s just utterly bizarre that this is still the clubs position after 20years. The argument that we needed to do it for financial reasons is just pathetic and shows the priorities of the club are messed up. We are in reasonable financial shape (one rich owner, one of handful of clubs that turn a profit, massive support base), just move forward.

it should be one ground
ANZ or SFS
1 boutique game at campbletown vs Manly
1 boutique game at Leichardt against Souths or Roosters
Scrap Tamworth

And look what they have achieved it's even now leaked down to the Forum that Mediocrity is acceptable

it should be one ground
ANZ or SFS
1 boutique game at campbletown vs Manly play in Magpies jersey
1 boutique game at Leichardt against Souths or Roosters play in balmain jersey
Scrap Tamworth

Definitely covid restrictions. But Homebush and Bankwest can still hold more than 20k. Playing at a 9k max park sums up our club. No ambition.

Souths ,Rorters,Slimeys, Sharks, Dragons Bulldogs Pamfers should be at Stadium Australia if travelling well a crowd of 30K would be expected out of town teams should be scheduled for LO and CSS teams like Cowboys,Warriors,Titans, Storm,Broncos and Manly ie teams that don't have a travelling supporter base you can not scrap a country venue if we want to attract kids and Indigenous kids from the country you have to put yourself out there

Must be a good sales pitch to sell the club to prospective players....."you get to travel all over the country, you'll never be in the same place too long".

it takes a game away from ticketed members the Tamworth game play trial games there instead of camobletown or Leichardt
other teams don't all play in country areas Penrith do at bathurst

Only beyond the bridge on Newbridge Road, heading towards Moorebank. Everything before that is Tiger territory
