One home ground

[hobbo1]

You know what is sad an off season topic has been bumped and it's only Round 6..sigh..

Anyhow enjoy the swings and roundabouts for the next 10 pages peeps..

Blame @mike

It was meeeeeeee

What’s your location Mike ?
You never stated last time Cochise stirred the pot on home grounds .

 

[cochise]


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?

One of those thing is an actual fact,

Your argument is weak

At least I'm not making stuff up lol

What have I made up ?

When i went there the stand signs were only tarps. surely we don't put them up?

When I went they were fixed .

They were up at a tigers home game?

Correct ...
Going forward it has to be Stadium Australia or the new SFS or Optus stadium ?

Which game?

Us v dogs last year
And there’s Parra banners / player pics all around the streets ....
Yeah it’s really our home ground ?

And just say the roles were reversed and Leichhardt was the ground that got a makeover and Parra started to use it would you declare the revamped Leichhardt the people’s stadium?
Pigs arse you would !

No I wouldn't but I don't care what Parramatta fans think so it doesn't bother me, I would tell them it was the Wests Tigers stadium to get under their skin. Just like a laughed at the Parra fan who showed up for his member seats when we played our home game against Parra at Bankwest.

I've let this thread go for 3 days without giving my opinion lol

 

[Furious1]

I'd throw all my eggs in one basket and redevelop Campbelltown properly. That ground has sufficient space around it to turn it into a 30,000 seat stadium. Leagues club next door, along with a train station - easy to get onto the Hume Hwy. Logistically it makes the most sense to me to play out of there and offer 1-2 games per year at Leichhardt for sentimental value.

Gus Gould may be many things, but I don't believe he's stupid. We've under developed the south-west and Group 6 and that's a huge catchment area which would benefit from WT playing out of there consistently. By all means keep the COE at Concord, but Captain's runs and home games - Campbelltown - give the place a proper identity.

Thank God it's finally been said. The only thing this club should be doing.

West’s Campbelltown don’t own the club. Playing next to that leagues club does not benefit the owner of our club

I'm aware of that. I'm looking where the people live and where they are going to live. Theres no reason Wests Asfield can't takeover or even build something out there. Panthers were all over everything around NSW.

I may have missed that game but every other game those signs haven't been there. The only place online you can find those stand names is on the eels website. Everywhere else lists them as North, East, South and West.

There is plenty of reason, Wests Campbelltown was originally part of Wests Ashfield but in the late 80's it was made independent.

But we value your opinion unbiased input .

Well ANZ for me that hasn't changed the last 7 billion times it's been discussed with 1 game each year at Leichhardt and Cambo..so I can line up for 15 mins to have a pee..

Nothing is going to change until the current deal expires..

Didn't the Campbelltown locals perform a coup and took over the club and distance themselves from Wests Ashfield and the Wests Tigers? Pretty sure at one stage they even wanted to change the name of the club. Or have I got it all wrong?

Yeah i suppose you're right. Well there's no chance of Bankwest then either given Parra Leagues is right next door. Looks like it's Homebush or the City.

The last info from the club had the leases at CSS and LO expiring last year. We moved the contract with Homebush to Bankwest so there s no reason they couldn't be doing your suggestion now.

Campbelltown pulled out of club ownership because they felt Wests Ashfield was siding more with Balmain than them. This was when Balmain had 50% WA had 25% and WC had 25%. From memory they were upset with decisions like Balmain Ryde Eastwood being the reserve grade. WA took over their 25%

I actually meant your suggestion of Wests Ashfield taking over the Wests Campbelltown. My fault my post wasn't clear enough.

But still sponsor Wests tigers and fund the macathur nursery. Taking all home games there could bring them back on board with smart negotiations.

I wouldn't be against playing out of Campbelltown, just don't think it is a viable option, much like the Liverpool option.

I could be 100% wrong but I think west’s Campbelltown only ever had 5 or 10% ownerships of the JV and they gave it up when we were going through that NRL bailout period. West’s Ashfield is now dominant and rich. Not sure whether they still care about rugby league but they won the war. I have a suspicion they would happily be bought out by a rich benefactor (like Crowe) and focus on the pokies but I could be wrong

Isn't part of the indecision around the sponsors dollars. Juniors south west and money inner west.
