Yes but we only have two home games in our last six games with them both being at Allianz Stadium in Rounds 23 & 25 against the Roosters and Rabbits.

?? Why relax? With 4 games already scheduled for Leichhardt in the first 20 rounds I think that is all of the Leichhardt games for the season already gone. We can relax all we want but it still won't mean Sunday at LO.

There were plenty of people complaining. Mainly centred around the difficulty given the kick off time coupled with the level of traffic on the M5.
Never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn though.
Weighing all things it is always nice to have a afternoon game at Leichhardt. That fact remains that for many Leichhardt Oval is itself a drawcard and that goes a long way to helping the cause. The better scheduling of games at Campbelltown Sports Stadium gives us as a club a chance to re-energize that part of our base which has had a rougher scedule for a few seasons now.
It is unfortunate that the Manly game could not have been a bit earlier in the season as with DS time that slot has drawn well because of the sunny, warmer weather.
Anyway the draw is set in stone now, no point fussing too much over it. The important thing is the season draws closer.
It actually wouldn't suprise me to see WT organise a Sunday afternoon trial game for Leichhardt Oval considering the outcry. It is an excellent opportunity to really get numbers through the gate for a trial

Dunno smeg….I note on nrl.com when I looked yestrday, they left emselves an out, the old "draw is subject to change"
If we're playing well people wont be too unhappy, and at least it looks like we didnt get the shortest straw...feel for the Raiders a bit. Theyre always screwed.
Manly??
Naah..stuff em.

Manly have crap crowds regardless Ink. They can go to hell.
Yeah you get the feeling Nine rejected the original proposed draw because of too many games on FTA for the likes of Canberra. Really hurts a club who needs the exposure for sponsorship revenue to increase.

I think its more of a case where some people for reasons known only to them enjoyed sticking the boot into the crowd figures at C-town without actually looking at it objectively and taking into account what Smeg mentioned (I'll add to that one of those games was against the Cowboys who attract zero support in Sydney yet the match drew 15 thousand, yet some still weren't satisfied). Like i've said already, the anticipation for Round 1, sunday arvo at Leichardt this yr was off the page, i really hope Round 2, our first home game of the yr in 2013 can attract similar excitement being our first home game at one of our traditional home grounds and being a local derby. Lets pack the joint out

Now that the draw has been finalised we should find out soon about our trials. You might be right Smeg, with the club possibly having one of our trials at LO on a Sunday arvo, they did move the foundation cup from LO to Campbelltown stadium after some backlash.

Interesting Sharks have risen in Allianz cred stakes, they see the value of half a team of ex WTs there…while Manly whos fans dont give a crap have been shunted to cambo
Youre way off beam wacko
