I think its great. Would be great if they can keep the tradition alive much like Newtown and Norths.

Maybe, but it feels weird to me. As I always associated Wests with Campbelltown. Yet I went for them and I always thought of my area as Lidcombe.

Hey if it works. It works. I do think Macarthur will be big like Penrith is now. So much is coming up in that suburb.

Lidcombe Oval was a happy hunting ground though.
Only been to Campbelltown a few times and the only Wests Tigers game I will go to now will probably be when We play the Knights in Newcastle, as I live in the Hunter region.

I read a bit this morning about Wests Tigers playing a match in Tamworth again this year, which is great. It went on to say how much effort had been put in creating interest in the area for Wests Tigers.
My point is...it 'seems' more effort has been put into creating interest in Tamworth than Campbelltown. And it 'seems' South's now have a pretty good presence in the Campbelltown area, even though WE have been playing there for 30 years.

I wonder if Wests Magpies moving back to Fortress Lidcombe is a strategic move to stop any confusion among the locals as to who their footie team actually is, obviously Wests Tigers. Michael Maguire did go on record recently saying 'how important the Campbelltown area' is to WT.
With the Magpies 'back home' in Lidcombe, a deal could possibly be done to re-brand the Magpies Leagues Club at Campbelltown as Wests Tigers Leagues Club.
In a couple of years if the Macarthur Soccer Team is going well, WE link with them to demand a new Stadium be built on the existing CSS site to hold 25,000 fans.
Surely the strength of '2 successful footy teams' demanding a Stadium has to carry more weight than just one team asking.

if anything the Lidcombe move links with Ashfield and COE at cincord and LO
renovated SFS looks good for permanent move

Lidcombe is closer to Bankwest

Cochise they already have parramatta at bankwest

They already have the Roosters at the SFS.

no leagues club next door though cochise and sfa has traditionally been shared roosters and souths even us in 2010 to 2012 or something. it is not parramatta stadium roosters don't have supporters anyway

Don't go to the Leagues Club and it doesn't matter.

Unfortunately going to Wank Best and just seeing the Leagues club makes you appreciate how sickening it would have been for the Hobbits when they first sighted Mt Doom.

A truly awful sight to behold.

But that is not the end of it, because then there is the Hobbit size statue of Ray Price at the Northern end entrance, which one cannot help but give a Benny Hill style pat on the head in passing.

On top of all this there is the constant knowledge that there will be Parramatta supporters not too far away which when all this is weighed up and despite the fact that this is probably the best rugby league viewing ground ever built, could never possibly be a West Tigers Home ground.

I don't - don't go to Bankwest either....problem solved for me.

You are missing out.

I bet your seated next to Brett Kenny!
?

Stan Jurd ....

Is he still alive ?

Weekend at Bernie's scenario

Which player was the refrigerator?
Mark or Geoff Bugden ?
That would be cochise’s style ?

LOL

Or one of the Wynn's lol


Geez, I remember Graham Wynn playing his last years with Wests Magpies - and thinking of the concussion laws in play now - Graham suffered some massive hits.
He was gutsy.

Yep we had some hard heads ...Rambo Gibbs , Rampling , Wynn , Joey Thomas , Gillespie , Farrar

Wouldn't we love having some of these blokes now

I was really upset when they said the gimp mask didn't meet regulations.

Hmm... not being a Magpies man, does this raise the ire of the Macarthurians who similarly complained when Souths linked with Bulls FC?

Wests Tigers only have a presence in Macarthur because of the Magpies, and now the Magpies are making some retreating moves?

I see it as the beginning of the end of Cambo... Sad in a way, 30+ years farting around for nothin.
But I've no connection to Cambo... I was 24 when Wests left Lidcombe had many more things on my mind back then, but I felt like I lost my team, growing up in Ashfield,... Playing in Wests juniors going to school next to the club..

Welcome home Wests

Wonder if journeyman Nofo is invited.

@WT2K

He can wear his going out shirt/ tablecloth.

I took my sons out to Lidcombe Oval this season to watch the U21s and NSW Cup. It was a great day, great weather and cool to see so many wearing the old Magpie jerseys. I hope at some stage next season we get to go to Leichhardt.

This is a West’s Tigers forum mate! If you don’t want to re invent the old divide, maybe you should create a magpie forum.

Shame he slobbered all those red tortellinis on his $1500 shirt.

Hope he takes better care of the Ferrari.

Yea i don't see how posting this should create any divide. As much as some on here hate it Wests Magpies are our NSW Cup team and one of the pathways to Wests Tigers. Lidcombe has always been considered by most supporters as the "spiritual home" of Wests over Pratten Park and Cambo. Just as Leichhardt is considered the spiritual home of Balmain.

 

[hank37w]

Nice to see Musgrove is still alive.

Could be a cardboard cut out just like the Ryan Whatsthematterson one at that other Wests Tigers player get together.

Hope he can get some games in this year and be more value on the field than a cardboard cut out and also prove that he has more brains than one.
