Sydney club in financial strife.

[Tigerwould]

How is 12,000 capacity planning for the future just ridiculous.

Do they have more than 12K fans? Less than that turned up when they made the semi’s at the SFS last year.
If we ever made the semis it would be sold out in minutes

 

[Tigerdazz2]

Dragons supporters will be getting excited

They would be salivating!!

It's sharks. They have always had financial issues. Tiny tiny supporter base. Never hear anything about them in the papers.

Can you remember how many tigers supporters were in the crowd at our grand final they were everywhere.

 

[Tigerwould]

Merge them with PNG

The PNG Sharks has a nice ring to it.

I went to the Semi v St.George the week before. Saints got their allocation of tickets way ahead of Tigers fans YET I'd almost swear there were more Tigers fans than Saints fans there.

Me & my Missus were given tickets to the game but were stuck right in the middle of the "Dragon Army" with a huge oversized Dragons jersey held over the heads of about 4 rows. We were the ONLY Wests Tigers fans in that whole seating section.......boy did we cop it off them until they started getting nervous, then emotional, then in tears.😂🤣

St.George Illawarra Sharks.

That's a threesome I'd like to see. 🤣

Extinct Sharks sounds even better.... the Megalodons!

I wish we had a leagues club like Penrith to hang out and have beers with former players and forum members

Ideally Wests Tigers would buy out Wests Campbelltown, there's plenty of scope for both the ground and the licensed club to grow, potentially having a Grandstand attached to the club at the Southern end.

They wanted to be the only club to own their own stadium, but the development has gone south I believe. Well intentioned but a stadium out that way which can only hold 12,000 is a fairly poor investment, not sure how they ever planned to make money/see any significant capital growth. Due to the development, I don't know if they'd be able to increase capacity very much at all.

NRL recently bought the hotel adjacent to the ground, so maybe have acquired something else which was part of the development or perhaps the hotel is the 'asset' referred to.

They were spending money hand over fist when they made the deal on the land there....
There was always talk of them dipping into the finances before they were due to them,
Only a matter of time before the well ran a dry.

You can tell if it is Cronulla by how many rubbish articles Buzz will write over the next while. If it is Manly the he will attack it, if Cronulla then he will attack someone else, probably us.

Was going to say the same thing.
He big noted the asset investment last year at one point and if this wasn’t the Sharks would be front of age news.

I wish it was the bulldogs or parra or both

Another reason why I want no changes to HBG systems, which work, unlike others.

WA have made substantial successful leveraged property investments, acquisitions.

Others with so called credentialled boards shutter.

Hands off our club.

 

[Buttface]

Stop it , it’s the pokies who do a great job building HBG wealth ,

Debenture system anyone?

 

[Buttface]

I thought The Mole was full of shit. If he writes about the tigpies its bs.
Now it is another un named club it is true?

We’re only human.
