One home ground

[gallagher]

So we could be forced to share a ground in another teams region just like at Wankbest while Penrith, Brookvale and Kogarah get upgrades
V’landys is a Wanker ..

Liverpool is Tiger territory.

It’s Bulldogs territory. The Bulldogs know it and more importantly the NRL knows it. Liverpool is the Bulldogs takeover v2.0.

Uhh no it isn’t. Where the stadium would be, on the corner of Hoxton Park road and the Hume Highway, that’s in Tiger territory. Dogs territory starts when you go over the bridge on Newbridge road, down towards Mororebank.

Makes no difference, it’s Bulldogs territory. They know it and so does the NRL.

I don’t give a toss what they think they know. Junior teams in Liverpool fall under the Tigers banner. That’s all that matters.

It has nothing todo with juniors, it’s the fans that count. Liverpool will have crickets at home games.

Like Bankwest...?

Declining attendance at BankWest @ Wests Tigers home games. BankWest is getting close.

I say again , what is your solution ?

At this stage it’s SFS. Fairly neutral area. You won’t be bombarded with Roosters stuff like you are with Parra stuff at BankWest, which happens regardless of who we play at BankWest. The Roosters are no threat to the Wests Tigers in regards to possible merger/takeover, unlike the Bulldogs and Liverpool. SFS has good easy to access central transport with parking at Moore Park when needed. Close to great food and drink. Closer to Headquarters (Wests Ashfield) and COE (Concord). Easy to get to from for out of towners as well via the Airport or Central Station if they want to attend with great accommodation nearby.

A revamped ANZ would have been ideal but that’s not going to happen for the foreseeable future. Can’t see CSS being redeveloped either. So SFS it is.

It is not in our area, we would likely be sharing with 2 other teams and it makes no sense. People complain about a lack of identity but then want to be a team called Wests playing in the Eastern Suburbs.

What if they remove the Wests off the jersey. ?

Absolutely NO to the central coast.

I thought Greenberg was bad, but Vlandys now proven he’s completely out of touch.

Why would you spend 30 million+ on a stadium in Liverpool when you have BankWest. Upgrade our local home grounds, they foster tribal fans who are passionate about their team and ultimately develop the next generation of juniors.

Leichhardt was the 1st ground mentioned when this was 1st discussed. The mayor of Leichhardt responded with something like new seats would be good.

The local council has a lot to answer for. Basically they really don’t want a larger or better Stadium in Leichhardt. They would never get local residents approval. It would be a fight to destruction, just like the Balmain Leagues redevelopment was.

where is Darcy

 

[jirskyr]

I have to admit I'm not a big fan of Liverpool. Saying Liverpool includes Tigers territory is a technicality for mine, like saying Claymore is Magpies territory or Carlingford is Balmain territory; all of which are all true, but not a business case for building a home ground there.

The Junior districts are not necessarily a good measurement of supporter base, they are just the way the clubs chopped up the geography in the old days when you had to be a local resident to play for the club. Which was fine when it was Balmain, Wests, Easts, Norths, Souths, but started to get more complicated when they needed to define the geographies of the later additions like Canterbury, St George, Parramatta.

So for example, Carlingford (Balmain junior district) is 5 km (crow flies) from Parramatta Stadium, 12 km from Concord Oval and 14.5 km from Leichhardt Oval. In my area, the St George Dragons Junior Football Club are headquartered in North Kingsgrove and play in the Canterbury Juniors, 2 km from Belmore Oval. But the Earlwood Saints, who are NE of Kingsgrove, play in the St George District.

Liverpool itself is 18 km from Campelltown and 15 km from Parramatta. And I would be shocked if you surveyed the suburbs around Liverpool - Casula, Chipping Norton, East Hills, Milperra, Moorebank, Cabramatta - and found more Tigers supporters than Bulldogs.

I honestly haven't intentionally been to Liverpool in probably a decade, but it was an absolute hole last time I was there, like I was shocked that it was part of Sydney. It may have changed vastly and the building of a stadium may help even further.

But given a choice I'd rather have a neutral venue refurbished at Homebush or just go to the SFS. That's the problem with Sydney, your guts tell you when you are in enemy territory and that is why I can never get comfortable having a home ground at Parramatta Stadium. And I don't think it would change for Liverpool, especially as a shared venue.

And I don't mean stuff like Bulldogs takeover, I just mean I find it hard to picture traveling to Liverpool and thinking that it was a strong neutral home venue. For what you might say about the existing home grounds, at least Campbo and Leichhardt clearly don't belong to anyone else. Is it better to have a single home ground if it is on the absolute periphery of our territory and next to someone else's heartland?

Isn't there enough land still at Homebush to build a new Bankwest and do a little refurb of ANZ to keep it modernised? I know that is what the club were originally hoping for when the govt first announced potential stadium funding.

We should have been pushing to have Bankwest built at homebush, there is next to no chance of a stadium being built at Homebush now that Bankwest has been built.

We Tigers or we NRL?

Before V'Landys came to town I didn't think the NRL had much clout trying to direct the spending of the pollies. What I'll give V'Landys is he is a keen political manouverer - he knows what the pollies are going to say before they do.

It feels like us and sharks will be left behind. Playing in rinky dink local parks while everyone else playing in modern stadium.
Well done Wests! ?

Shark park is being redeveloped as we speak

Part of Sco Mo’s Sports Rorts ? .. no wonder the Sharks made him their no.1 Supporter.
Haven’t seen that fat lump shaking his ever increasing posterior around on the hill this year. Enough to make you choke on your caviar.

No didn't Sharks get the money from their residential development? The own the whole thing, the ground, the Leagues Club next door and the residental arm. They were about to go under before they got the approvals to develop the residental land and sell units.

He’s a big part of the problem, totally clueless. Only new seats are required I believe is his best response.

The Tigers, there was debate about the location of the new Western Sydney Stadium for a couple of years, with places like Blacktown, Liverpool, Penrith and Parra all discussed. I think we could have pushed our preference at that time, maybe we did behind the scenes though.

i don't believe they own it all, they had to sell of various parts of it during the process to avoid going under a few times.

 

[Elderslie_Tiger]

So we're not happy even if we get a new stadium in our own territory?
That's baffling.


I dont consider Liverpool "our own Territory". The fact that Dundas Shamrocks are Balmain Juniors and up the road from Bankwest doesnt make Bankwest in our territory.

In the 90's and 00's I was consulting to Canterbury LEagues (and Balmain Leagues) at the time an they were gong to build their big COE and stadium at the Whitlam Centre back then. Liverpool is Bulldogs territory.


Exactly - Dogs trying to move there since the 90's says it all

They had the foresight to see the potential of a development out there which is something sadly missing on this forum

your push for out that way is what is sad
our COE is inner city

Elderslie is close to Liverpool mate ..
Agendas much

Just as far as Leichhardt is to Liverpool

Elderslie to Liverpool 33k’s
Elderslie to Leichhardt 57k’s

Must get lost a lot ?

I think he meant Elderslie is just as close to Liverpool as Leichhardt is to Liverpool.

Correct


but you are closer to Liverpool was the point

No it's basically half way between the two
