I Remember when my son was in Primary school (Nofo's old Alma Mater where he dun graduated the 6th grade) they were giving the kids free tickets when accompanied by a paying adult at Cambo.
I can only recall that happening once or twice though. I would like to think that at the very least kids playing junior footy for Wests would be getting that sort of a deal, if no one else.
But you are 100% correct in that the infiltration into the area by those filthy Souffs scum is totally disgusting and that may have kicked on with the relocation of some of the indigenous community from the Redfern/Waterloo areas to places like Rosemeadow/Airds in the Campbelltown area particularly over the last 20 years or so.
there is little doubt that Gus' mob are just as scummy and would no doubt jump at the opportunity to get a foot hold in the area.
It's amazing how many people in the South West support teams other than Wests Tigers and you couldn't help but think that Ashfield had given up on the area when they closed down the local Roar Store in Macarthur Square, which no doubt would have been unprofitable, but I would have thought would have been of value as an identifiable presence in the area.
It would seem that there is only limited co-operation between Wests Ashfield and Wests Leumeah from what little I know about their relationship.
