This website continually has an anti-magpies and campbelltown stadium bias. Every year if there is a lower turnout than a leichardt game there is always a post about how poor the attendance was. Whenever a disappointing turnout for a leichardt game there is zero threads bringing it up. One thing to consider is that many inner city fans do not travel out west to campbelltown, whilst many families will travel to the SFS and leichardt from the west, as both provide great atmosphere and are enjoyable games. Maybe some fans need to embrace all our stadiums. Look at the statistics for attendance, the season averages are not dramatically different, and campbelltown tends to have plenty of Monday night games, which I agree are terrible to get to in campbelltown due to the terrible road that is the M5.
I would also point out that this is only a trial game. Whilst I love my tigers I am not going to attend till the real season starts, and majority of people are the same, as the trials ultimately mean nothing.
This bias can also be seen in the state cup threads where magpies fans are constantly belittled and made fun of just because they wanted an equal representation over the years of NRL squad players, yet BRET received them. This meant the magpies had a less than competitive team, whilst also having to spend more money due to paying for their entire squad. I do not want to restart this debate, as we are all sick and tired of the arguments, but what I do want to say you all need to lay off continually ripping into each side of the merger every time something immaculate doesn't happen. We are one team, move on people, and just support the club instead of belittling each sides fans.
